I figured I would make a new thread instead of trying to hijack another one.
I get breaking news from twitter and as far as tv goes, I watch the aforementioned tv shows. I like how they rag on fox news a lot. I like how they also call other news networks out as well. I know I know, they pick on fox the most, and I do enjoy that. I do like that they don't ONLY pick on them. I like when they take things politicians say and show video from times that they have said the exact opposite. I like how they comment on the absurdity of today's society. I love the shows a lot. I do, in fact, get most of my "news" from these shows. They do shape my view, but I don't pretend to be an expert or go and lecture others about the things I hear on there. I see other people watching select news stations and going out and preaching all that they hear on there. I hate that.
Is it possible to hate the Daily Show or Colbert Report? Why?
Would you argue that I am less informed by watching the Daily Show than someone who only watches CNN/Fox/MSNBC? Why?
Do you Sundance_Kid wish that Jon Stewart would run for office in a decade or so? And would you vote for him? Yes. Yes.
I see a lot of threads about things that people are interested in and care a lot about. So I wanted to start my own. I :love: Jon Steward and Stephen Colbert!!!!!
Go!!!!
-
I love both shows. But remember that you're watching news about news.
As to whether you are you better off than if you only watched one of the others? No idea. But are you better off than if you watched all others? Definitely not.
-
I don't hate the Daily Show or Colbert Report - I like the Daily Show. I just hate people who "get their news" from the Daily Show or Colbert Report. I mean, honestly, are you not aware how stupid that sounds to get your news from Comedy Central? Probably not. It is really, really stupid.
-
The colbert report is absolutely hilarious.
-
both sides can come together and proclaim these shows as fantastic.
it's a starting point!
-
:sdeek:
:facepalm:
As a society, we deserve this sort of idiotic nonsense. We've done far too little to curtail the stupidity of the least common denominator.

so you even hate humor?

Yea. Leave it them.
-
I like the Daily Show and watch it probably once every other week, even though my political views are very different than Stewart. Mostly I just think that Colbert's act is tired and played, so I don't watch that one hardly ever.
-
I used to love Not Necessarily the News
-
Wu Tang about to perform!
-
Better not eff with them SDK
-
Watching this right now. I love wu tang, but it's kind of funny how there is like 20 of them there.
RZA did great.
-
Hahaha yeah, I'm glad they played Triumph on the way out. C.R.E.A.M. would have been a nice touch too. That piano!
-
it also happened like 2 weeks ago. reruns this week.
-
I'm rarely awake at 10 pm anymore. :(
-
love them both. they are both very entertaining.
that said, taking news clips out of context and then making a face with studio audience laughter is an easy recipe to look really really funny.
-
People who watch these shows are almost always huge losers.

Why not get news from the Colbert or the Daily Show?
Remember Obama's former press secretary stated that one of those two shows had the toughest, or most in-depth interview of Obama during the last presidential election campaign.
I think that pretty much tells you all you need to know in regards to the MSM in the United States, particularly the standard left leaning (no, not down the middle as some claim) CNN and the straight off the DNC news wire MSNBC, NBC, CBS and ABC.
Which news outlet would you consider to be the most unbiased?
-
I think they both conduct great intetviews. :dunno:
-
I like when stewart and oreilly quarrel. :dunno:
-
I like Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

Was reading this thread on my phone last night. Saw the post above and thought "yeah, that's right, who posted that?" Scrolled over and saw it was me from over two years ago. I definitely agree with me.

agreeing with yourself is a good start, fwiw

I do agree that it's lol if anyone under the age of 50 gets their news from TV in any form.

The DNC sends Colbert a thank you card for loyally carrying their water for 9 years. Well, he was their most trusted name in "news."

Great description of that post
-
So, will Colbert be normal on the Late Show or will he be continuing the character?
-
normal
-
I, along with most people, have no idea what his normal persona is like.

I'm afraid he's going go lose out to Jimmy.
-
different networks tho
-
Same time slot though. Which will I choose? :runaway:

Come on

Fallon or Kimmel?
-
I'll always remember him (or was it Stewart?) for having the hardest hitting interview of the President before the 2012 election.

Sounds like he was quite memorable.

I honestly thought only old white men watched network late shows.
I never watched the colbert show, but was told it was funny. The nut commercial he's in is not funny.

dailiy show no mo' (stewart is leaving/retiring)
-
Thanks for the link
-
Ok, checked twitter and half the reactions were people preemptively annoyed with the reactions of others
-
dailiy show no mo' (stewart is leaving/retiring)
I don't remember the position/network, but supposedly he was offered an actual news spot somewhere recently and he turned it down saying that he didn't know if he wanted to end up there but didn't rule it out in the future. Maybe he will be taking Brian Williams' spot?
-
JS doing straight news would be crap
-
Omg. Heart broken. I hope he does something else. :(

the show was getting a little tired. good for him knowing when to get out.
-
Jon Stewart rough ridin' sucks.
-
Sad
-
Man, my late night favorites are all being moved/no more. Thoroughly enjoyed Jon Stewert and Colbert back to back for so many years, didn't always watch every night but was always good to know they were there. An end to an era.
-
Indeed. Where will the next generation get their news. Pimp With a Limp? The Girl With Green Lipstick? Between Two Ferns?

Get with the times man. Obama has done interviews with all of them. They're the voice of the next generation.

He was linked to Meet the Press before Chuck Todd was selected. NBC is a train wreck right now. Brian got a 6 month suspension today.

If credibility is something a news network desires, J Stew seems like an unlikely candidate.
He strikes me as super arrogant and deluded, so I wouldn't be surprised if he takes a shot at politics.

"Hate"? I dunno that's a strong word. I dislike John Libowitz but it's mainly his dumbass fans I really don't like - the people who let their world and political views be shaped by his cynicism, half truths and outright distortions.
Lena Dunham is just gross.

Oh crap, K-S-U just revealed John Stewart isn't his given name, and get this: he's Jewish!

I don't care that he's Jewish, but he seems to have cared enough to change his name for showbiz. Kinda a slap at his ancestors if you ask me.
But thanks for accusing me of anti-semitism. Classy.

Personally I find the most douchiest to be Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu or Jorge Mario Bergoglio. But Mark Sinclair Vincent is pretty douchey to. God I hate pseudonyms.

What's the point of not just saying Jon Stewart? As if he is the only celebrity to have a stage name.

The libtards should slow down on the vitriol and projection towards KSU. It makes you look petty and pathetic.

I thought his reaction to the Eric Garner non-indictment was very good.

K-S-U lives in a crazy reality that I think very few people relate to. I don't think it's hate and vitrol, I think we are all just trying to better understand how he has such odd views.
I agree with K-S-U on Lena Dunham though. She's all, "Look at me I dress in a way that makes me look provocative, yet I accentuate the way I am not an ideal female body type(unattractive)." Gross. Quit looking like a nasty person. Girls has gotten worse too.
-
Given the amount of talent that has come through TDS, it is exciting to see who will come up and make something in the void. Colbert and Stewart both gone and John Oliver is on HBO. That Larry Wilmore guy has his on Comedy Central show, but no way just the one show, from a guy new to the job, will fill the void. This is the kind of change that will either really hurt Comedy Central, or create a new big name or two.
-
I don't really care for Larry Wilmore's show.
-
Oliver is killing it on HBO. Comedy Central has to be kicking themselves they didn't try to retain him now that Colbert and Stewart will be gone. I didn't think the guy following Kilborn would be as good (I was definitely wrong) but unless somehow Oliver comes back, I really have no idea who could follow Stewart.

Really excited for Sam Bee. Daily Show is just getting bad. Poor writing and really basic jokes. The Nightly Show is just awful.
