2. They overuse the word "retarded"...

...which I hate, when used as an insult. However, they seem to be using it more and more in its clinical sense, and have in general done away with the cruel humor that turned me off in the show's first years.

Yeah, they work the "dumb journalist" schtick well. I see the show as making fun of the big media as much it does of current-affairs figures. I'm liking Samantha Bee more and more because of this practice.
