They have increasingly become more and more political as they have become less and less relevant. Especially when their partisanship drives their 'comedy'.

"Don't cover current events" is kind of limiting when it comes to a weekly show. Just curious, but who gets to make that rule up for them? "You can't cover this subject..." comes from who exactly?
Political subjects have
always been in their "lexicon of subject material". Dan Aykroyd made fun of Jimmy Carter.
