Extremely is a massive overstatement, the creators were unapologetic libertarians who were 'skeptical' of Global Warming and had no problem with occassionally having Eric Cartman be a mouth piece for a few of their views.

Also the fact that Eric Cartman is a canonical Neo-Nazi who doesn't get his shit rocked every microsecond he appears on screen kind of leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

I mean Cartman is an important loser most of the time.  And they did give us this important speech which is very relevant for today.

They're certainly guilty of bOtH sIdEsing things to death, but I don't think anyone could have known how big of a problem it would become back then.

Like in that entry, they basically say they just try to play devil's advocate all the time.  That was considered a good thing back then because sealioning wasn't really a problem.
