I'm reminded of John Stewart on a Tucker Carlson show 15 years ago where Stewart had to explain the difference between his Comedy Central comedy show and Tucker's News show.

I didn't know all the right news was so non-pejorative. Maybe if they'd add a laugh track it would be more entertaining.



The point is that they aren't balanced either

It doesnt fix the adage: if you dont watch the news you are uninformed, if you do watch the need you are misinformed

Comedy news is not fixing this by presenting everything as the controversy of the day. They are all still omitting lots and are just aiming to rile you up like the others. “But its funny and feels good and isnt Fox or OAN so it must be balanced!” is really what many of the viewers feel.


> balanced

Said no viewer anywhere. I’ve never encountered anyone who thought Comedy Central was advertising a balanced view.
