as journalists they have to report the news of the day with no opinions and because of ads they have less time for in depth reporting, and because of ads they need ratings so they compete over infotainment and cover things that more people watch versus whats important
Jon and the daily show and comedians---because they are not journalists---can focus on what the media DOESNT cover---and can take the time to do a more context driven show---Jon has done whole shows on wall st with his jim Cramer interview, he devoted a whole show to the 9/11 health bill, veterans and jobs and guns
so because he is not driven by the day's top headlines he can pick and choose what he covers, when and how---plus he can make jokes and opinions that tell a better truth then the Main Stream Media does
You KNOW that you'll get the unvarnished truth from Jon. The lunacy of the GOP during the 2012 Presidential Election was probably their best material in years!
ReplyDeleteJon holds both sides accountable for their lies----BUT the GOP just lies more often and more outrageously
