uncle wilco Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 why is steve doocy being quoted like a journalist? he's a freaking talk show host/weatherman. still, that crap shouldn't be aired without anyone doing their research. the lines between entertainment/journalism continue to be blurred and broadcasts are full of bias and ignorant commentary regardless of the network.

owl Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 The interesting thing is that Stewart gives his guests a chance to speak- he doesn't yell at them.Colbert yells at his guests tongue-in-cheek, and everyone seems to have a good time. But it's no surprise to me that prominent members of both parties wind up on these shows (especially TDS). In many ways, despite being comedy, they not only expose the daily contradictions of politicians and public figures of all colors, but they also show respect to the guests who appear on their show. I don't think that you have to be serious, abrasive, or un-entertaining to do a show that a variety of people can appreciate. In fact, Stewart has pretty regularly proven this to be true, as annoying (and left-leaning) as he can be sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
