Topic	Michelle Obama reveals daughters were conceived though IVF

They are comedians. Neither of them are journalists, both of them reject that label, and both have separately reacted in horror at the idea of being treated as a news source. Their job isn't to report the news, it's to provide funny commentary on the news (Colbert) or do research pieces on serious issues while dressing them up with comedy (Oliver). Their primary goal is not to inform, it's to make people laugh. There have been at least a few articles dissecting the "just a comedian" excuse that Jon Stewart and his ilk falls behind when challenged. Like it or not, guys like Stewart and Oliver are media rather than just comedians. Colbert was somewhat more of a gray area, but he still ran a news program until leaving it for a late night show host which is more in the comedy camp. _AdjI_ posted...
