Leftist
In context, "leftist" reads as like "radical liberal." Given that "liberal" is used more and more as a pejorative term on the right, it was not a happy thing to read. Regardless of how I interpreted it though, saying that something has a leftist slant implies you felt that edits were not made in good faith. I am a liberal and a comedian and I thought the show was unfunny in both content and execution, but I still went out of my way to make sure that the article was not horribly unbalanced. We have more negative reviews listed because there are more negative reviews listed in the mainstream media. If we can find more positive reviws, we will post more to give the most points of view. We also posted the really good ratings numbers. No offense was taken with the term, just assume good faith when dealing with editors. (Also, I hope you understand why posting the relative ratings results to TDS/Colbert isn't applicable.) Good luck with the editing Mykll42 03:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The problem they're going to run in to is that there is a negative along with a positive to a regular production schedule. Yes, they'll be able to have more up to date topical content, but they'll still have to write it and under enormous time pressure.  If that pilot is representative of the talent they have writing for them with, presumably, as much time as they needed for a top notch show, how will they do in a weekly or daily format?  I did like the holocaust-denial-meeting denial joke, but even that joke could have been improved 1000 different ways.  One of the reasons I like TDS (aside from the excellent writing and performance) is that they do go after both sides.  They go after Republicans more because the President is Republican.  Comedy is better when jokes trump ideology.  Stewart did a great bit this week with the argument between Obama and Clinton and it was personal and mean and hysterical.  I have no doubt he did it in response to the HHNH, not to balance it, but to say "we already make fun of the left and we do it better than you."  I also take issue with a "fair and balanced" news network which claims to not be biased putting on a patently biased comedy show... with their logo spinning away in the lower left hand corner.  But if it improves, maybe my opinion will change.  Mykll42 04:26, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

regarding your comment about pictures on the Coeur d'Alene talk page
It is not that easy to comply with all the rules regarding pictures. The only thing that is simple and no problem at all would be if you put online pictures that you have taken yourself, everything else is kinda difficult. For an introduction, see Image use policy. --X-Weinzar 11:26, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
