Daily Show/Colbert Report
« on: February 29, 2012, 05:20:14 PM »
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.
