Soviet_Poland 06/28/17 6:36:38 PM #3:	They're not really news though. They're just one-liners, or self-righteous circle jerking monologues. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy them immensely, but they aren't putting themselves out there like the news with a stance. They just poke fun of already reported mishaps, silly trends, where it's easy to use your retrospectroscope to throw in some cynical, quirky jokes from hindsight. --- "He has two neurons held together by a spirochete." http://steamcommunity.com/id/soviet_poland/wishlist <cite>Soviet_Poland posted [p:881986042] in When comed...

I also deeply respect the frequency with which he would spar with people like O'Reilly, both on his show and theirs. It showed a willingness to engage with opposite opinions and a confidence in his own to take his arguments to hostile territory. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

GenGrievous03 06/28/17 7:00:26 PM #7:	Jon Stewart era Daily Show was great. I was rather liking Trevor Noah, but I lost respect for him and his writers after they started just covering up anything from the Democrats, just for the sake of taking shots of Trump. Now let me be clear here, I am as leftist as they come. I am not defending Trump or anything. But it's disgusting how they spin this narrative of Democrats = good guys and republicans = bad guys, completely ignoring the rampant corruption and corporativism within the Democratic party. During the election, during the Noah cycle, they tried as best as they could to actually make Hillary seem like a good person. But I gotta say that the most absurd sketch was the one where they covered up for Obama taking money for Wall Street speeches because "lolz, he's black, so take that money, Obama!". That's literally what Noah said. Never facepalmed so hard. The Daily Show lost all credibility from me after that. I remember that Jon wouldn't back down from taking shots at democrats when they deserved it, but this new cycle is complete bs. --- http://www.last.fm/pt/user/Purple_Scourge <cite>GenGrievous03 posted [p:881987446] in When comed...
