Just a point to make here. Comedy central is owned by Viacom (also owners of MTV and VH1) not 20th century Fox. However it isn't much different than getting your news from The Onion.

The Daily show is a political satire show and should not be used as a source for journalism... that being said they do pull clips from shows that are aired by fox or cnn or whichever one you would like to quote... so I mean if you won't take it from their show directly I mean you can go watch the recording of the show they pulled the clips from... they hammer everyone too its not just fox lol...

Again... I am not advocating for the daily show as a valid source to get your update on current events and such... though it's hard to say who I would advocate as many outlets are becoming a joke...

That's true but it usually goes like this:

Clip A aired: Person A says X
Clip B aired: Person A says Y, when run next to the privious clip provides a source of humor/hypocrasy/satire.

Clip C not-aired: Person A says Z, which usually clarifies a previous point and/or nullifies the humor.

It might be pretty funny, but its anything but genuine.

There are actually some points to the Daily Show that are actually worth looking at, even if it was unintentional.

Like for every scandal Obama has faced in his presidency, his excuse (all recorded on video) was that he just read about it that morning.

the source was politifact referencing a daily show clip which also, as i said, was the first search result on google.

I'm also tired of the disrespect toward people posting on the board.

Even if it is like that... if your actually curious, like I said before, all you have to do is go look at the actual recording... I think the daily show is great in that it gets people interested in politics and current events but you do have to take it a step further and go get more information on everything...

and your right sometimes it does do that... other times it doesn't... either way it has no real responsibility to show everything... and while it does lean left it does not hold back from throwing out punches at either side when they think they're doing something stupid...

You're fine. Just take it in humor when a thread finally gets to the tipping point. It's hard not to smirk when people's commentary starts transforming them into a caricature of one side or the other. Unfortunately, on here, it seems one side does this more often than the other.

Enjoy yourself.

I take it you're oblivious to self-deprecating humor?

I hate using the term "woosh", but come on! :/

sarcasm loses effect on the internet if that's what they were doing but I doubt it. It was the usual, when the argument is lost revert to calling people homophobes or racists or simply just trolls.

/sigh

I don't think you've realized who is capable of planting delightful, little Easter eggs of humor here and there.

Happy hunting.

Is the "give Obama a break button" broken yet?

I don't believe our intervention would be much different either if he hadn't said it but what the hell does it matter? He DID say it. Then he leaned to Putin and Russia for the solution. You can try and look the other way but in the end Obama said "don't do this or else", and the "or else" was "i'll get Putin to stop you". If you refuse to recognize how that creates an image of weakness for Obama and/or how that image negatively affects the rest of us as a country, then I cannot help you as you are willfully ignorant.

President's who make empty threats are bad.

*** as usual. Seems like you are confused about your role here. You aren't here to "help" anyone, no one needs your "help." You are here to post *** and lies and look like a bitter old man who still can't believe his Presidential ticket got routed in 2012. Stick to your worthless videos and pictures. Every time you post text its flat out wrong.
Obama sent a fleet to Syria and opened the silo doors, and the Russians blinked, because thats what Russians do. Putin came up with a desperate last second full of holes idea, great job Putin, you remembered you signed the chemical weapons ban, too bad it took a show of force to remind you. And once again Syria takes a back seat in the news, so the rest of us can enjoy the GOP blinking and calling each other frauds. Just like you Nausi.

Daily Show was equally critical against the Bush administration during Bush's term. That is what makes that show what it is.

What, like blaming Bush? No offence to you (not intended to attack you, so please don't take it that way) but both sides are equally guilty of doing that.

I thought you blocklisted everyone who doesn't agree with you because they are "trolls" and you can't formulate a proper response, so you run away with your fingers in your ears hoping that they would go away...

Why?!?!? Why do people have to reiterate the conclusion that has repeated over and over and over so literally? JESUS!

I never stated that I wasn't guilty of doing that.

Just like you can't say that either.

Everyone is guilty of being partisan, because that is human nature.

Again, you missed the obvious, and continue to reiterate the same point only literally.

I'm just saying I find it comical that expansive or abstract thought eludes some people on here, and you made yourself an example of it.

But anyway, you can tell a group that hasnt heard about the whole "giving up after 3 tries" thing...because you know, after three times and nothing happens its totally jokes on you :( (granted, we've tried to pass health reform atleast three times i think...so i guess thats the exception to the rule...or not...now i've got to rethink my whole lifes philosophy...i could've had so much by just trying a fourth time :| I wonder what i could have if i tried 41 times at the same process...)
