are libertarians and it does have a libertarian bent. One episode from the type of my head is where they basically argue treat ADD by giving a kid a smack. There is something to be said about using drugs as a treatment but in the case of ADD it is a valid learning disability and is often undiagnosed and untreated. I wouldn't say it is a major bias but it is there, the creators are quoted as saying they hate liberals more than conservatives. As far as their social commentary is concerned I want to first bring up the movie they made.
Team America has a very noticeable conservative bias. The liberal Hollywood actors against the Iraq War are part of a union named the Film Actors Guild. Now make an acronym out of that. Now see what is calling the liberal Hollywood actors. OK, now they made an episode where they spend the entire time calling a group of loud motorcycle riders that F word. In that episode gay rights groups protested and the characters basically countered saying, we're not bashing gays, we have nothing against gays, that isn't what we mean when we say f--. I understand what they're arguing but what is the point in using a word that is obviously offensive and claim you mean something else. W/ the social commentary, they use a lot of bad logic. (Personally based on the use of the word and that obvious pro-war film I won't touch their work)
When it comes to social commentary I like Futurama, the satire is very good at showing how absurd the conservatives, especially religious right are. Plus it has a liberal bent rather than center-right as South Park but to-each-their-own.
