Subject matter in South Park
For a pop-culture attempt to define the show's political viewpoints, see South Park Republican.
South Park has attempted to cover and satirize a large number of topics over the course of its run. South Park Studio's use of computer animation allows it to edit episodes in days, quickly commenting on recent events (Elián González, the capture of Saddam Hussein, the election of Barack Obama, the 2016 presidential election etc.). The creators also have engendered a mix of socially liberal and fiscally conservative viewpoints, espousing a libertarian ideology in both real life and on the show. However, the show's creators call themselves "equal opportunity offenders",[1] and reject the notion that they are trying to put forth any consistent ideological agenda through the show.[2][3]
