No no, there is a good reason they use it. If you say a person is lying, you can get sued for libel. If you say its bullshit, you are just stating a personal opinion and you are protected by the first amendment. Same thing with calling con-artists motherfuckers.
On one of their episodes they explained why they used the words they used. It was for this very reason -not to get sued.
