I care that they aren't doing their job, and more importantly, that they are are abusing their position where a lot of people can listen to their pomegranate to spout off their own personal beliefs when it isn't their place to do so. It's a comedians job to be funny, if they aren't, then they are worthless as a comedian and should find a new job. If they want to do it as a sidebar that has nothing to do with comedy on twitter, fine, let them pomegranatepost on twitter, but selling it as being "ironically funny" or "tongue in cheek" is not acceptable. The very worst are the late night "comedy pundits", who sell lies as truths, and when approached on the fact, simply say "it's a comedy show bro, I wasn't being serious", then the next night going back to saying the same pomegranate. It's like watching the news but with even less basis in reality, and that shouldn't even be pineappleing possible. Luckily, those have gotten so bad that even their own target audience no longer wants to see the pomegranate, though they will still hop on twitter and call everyone racist for allowing Larry Wilmore to be cancelled, as I am sure they will do as well for Trevor Noah once he is too, his viewership has been falling like a rock and the only reason he is even still on is because Comedy Central is so afraid of the backlash of cancelling two black "comedians" this close together.
