Sure, but, if I recall, Gore was mocked for being afraid of man-bear-pig, their stand-in for Climate Change, but later man-bear-pig showed up started killing people, which is the show's mea culpa.

Two of the hallmarks of both sides media is they never admit they were wrong and they invariably serve their power structure while pretending to be independent thinkers. Examples of this are the entire foreign policy establishment that cheerled the obviously disastrous Iraq war (while anyone against the obviously disastrous Iraq war was drummed out for not being serious), and Ezra Klein's recent turnaround on Israel due to "new facts" from 60 years ago that he just learned (coinciding with a massive drop in Israel's popularity and masterminding an obviously disastrous Iran war).

South Park admits they were wrong and they absolutely go up against power structures, so I throwing them in the "both sides" propaganda apparatus bucket is just wrong.
