Chris Hayes' Live Format turns tRump and Co. into an audience's laughing stock.

[Perseus]

4. I saw the entire show, and of course I have my opinion about it.

At first I said "they should not be laughing, this is not a funny situation we live, what is being discussed is a very corrupt behaviour that is putting the country in peril." I do cringe when Rachel, or any of the MSNBC hosts laugh at the stuff the creature or his minions do, and I do think we should laugh when he is out of office, but not now.

On the other hand, will the comedy format help people understand the veracity of the problems? Will it sink in through laughter or will be taken as a comedy show and forgotten sooner than it would be if a touch of panic, instead of laughter, was inserted in it. Panic and memes work for republicans, and we do need to panic as the days go on and we don't see the creature, Barr, McConnell, Pompeo, Giuliani in orange suits taking afternoon walks at the backyard of a prison.

I wonder if making comedy about the situation by a serious journalist is the way to go. I hope it has a positive outcome, but I do cringe when people laugh at stuff that should instead create some sort of panic.
