So the straight scoop is that those not watching Fox for the last 8 years have little clue about what is really happening in their own country. Gutfeld contributes to the education of Americans who actually think they are getting the real thing rather than carefully selected semi-facts and skewed analysis from the mainstream.
No problems there. Some of the panelists, particularly Kat Timpf and Molly Hemindway, are funny and insightful, while others are a little out there. The problem is with the presentation. Gutfeld is a strange dude who claims to be a libertarian rather than a conservative, and has some unusual and unexpected takes on certain issues. At other times he can be the absolute sharpest analyst on the Fox network, but you never quite know what you'll get.
But the sick, low-grade sexually obssessed fraternity humor of the show is so unprofessional, and so pervasive, that it detracts from the commentary. Is it an attempt to be cool? To get a younger audience? To gross out most of the viewers? I don't know, but it doesn't work for me in the least.
