Jon Stewart Rips NYT Journalist On Iraq War Reporting (pt2)

Mordhaus says...

No, a couple of polls have shown his viewers to be more knowledgeable about current events, not taking into account other possible sources of their information. Another poll showed the exact opposite regarding his coverage of the 2004 elections. The show's writers and Mr. Stewart himself both do not consider the program to be a source of actual news per their own statements.

The show covers news that it's creative talent wishes to satirize, which means if we are going to criticize Fox for skewing the outlook of it's viewers, we must point the same finger at TDS.

The thing about that is that his show has repeatedly been shown to educate viewers on the actual facts of the 'news' far better than the "real journalists" you would put before him. He presents the news in comedy fashion, but still in a much clearer, often more in depth, and more honest way than nearly any "news organization" operating today.

So it IS actual news, and more so than most "news" shows. Incredibly more so than, lets say, Fox, which is worse than watching no news at all, proven time and time again.

John Oliver - Government Surveillance: Interview w/ Snowden

RedSky says...

Pretty disappointing bit really. I mean I get his point (that people generally have a poor understanding of nebulous surveillance techniques and lack of interest unless it is tangibly relevant), but he doesn't need 30+ minutes and a cruddy interview to make it.

I would prefer he would take Stewart's model of making the interviews generally serious rather than conducting them TDS correspondent style.
