"Basically, for every stance they’ve gotten right—like this past season when they refused to back down to China—there’s another one that’s aged like a bowl of Cheesy Poofs left out in the rain."
It's never felt to me like South Park was trying to be right about anything. I think of them more as a court jester, they play a role where they mock everything, all the time. The mocking is the point. Getting it right is irrelevant (my take, anyway).
When you mock everything, though, you will naturally convince a lot of people that everything is equally worth mocking (which may necessitate, say, readdressing climate change).
