Just because information/opinions are presented in a form of comedy you’re writing the _information_ off entirely? I’m not sure if you watch any episodes but the “legit” news sources are more of a clusterfuck of misinformation, hippocratic views and mixed messages then a daily show. I guess no review or opinion on Top Gear should ever count as valid either, since after all it’s a comedy show and the guys clearly don’t know what they are doing/talking about. Critiquing something just by saying that it’s bad, without giving any actual facts as to why it’s bad, prove of it or constructive criticism is most useless piece you can possibly post in an argument. ---

What? What legit news sources? Where Name one u think is legit? Opinions should not be formed from news sources more often than not,when the topic is politics. What was Steve Jobs great quote again? You cant connect the dots looking forward… you can only connect them looking backwords… It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see how all major news sources are full of inadequate and sometimes just reshaped information. Either you get it or you don’t. Those that don’t , often complain. Sometimes its most fun to complain a group or mob, and misery likes company, just as much as love does. ---

One reason you don’t see those on The Daily Show is because there is ONE person reporting the “news”. ---

It has nothing to do with opposing views. It has everything to do with you citing your only news source as a comedy show wrapped around political satire.

Satire makes the liberal pill that much easier to swallow plus the uneducated pass what they hear from such sources as fact either to be trendy or because they’re too stupid to form their own opinion or both. ---

Apparently some people are missing that point. Political satires are often aimed at the common man by making fun of the government and it’s fails and downfalls. By existence it’s reminding you that we still live in a free democratic society. While yes satires tend to stray Liberal that doesn’t stop them from criticizing parties and members that are seen as liberal. Satires played an important role through out modern history. While single handedly they never had a direct impact, indirectly they helped make history what it is today. Ben Franklin is credited with the first American satire.
