Should comedians have boundaries?

I didn't realize foxnews had stand up comedy.  I mean foxnews is funny as all shit, but for the wrong reasons.  

Do you think comedy is in some magic mental space where it doesn't influence your thoughts?

If you're hearing about something, it will influence how you think about things. 

If your experience with gay people is limited to your parents being homophobic, chances are good you will be homophobic yourself.

If your experience with trans people is limited to Fox News's nonsense, chances are good you will be transphobic yourself.

Comedians can add to that.

Maybe I'm just smarter than most.  I wouldn't go to a comedy show with a notebook so jot down life lessons.  

I didn't realize people couldn't disconnect reality from make believe.  

By default it makes no sense for someone to take a comedian seriously....
