One is satirical and not funny, the other is neither satirical nor funny.
I wonder why young people are ignoring traditional, biased media sources for those of a comedian who makes jokes to prove a point? Hmm..Baldy wrote:Oh I agree, but more and more millennials are getting their "news" from the Colberts and Stewarts of the world.Ibanez wrote:

Curmedgeon. Funny, considering the only person on this forum who whines more than you is alzheimerdawg. And ignorant tax-cheating millennials at that!Baldy wrote:Grizalltheway wrote:

Unfortunately, I do have to interact with ignorant millennials on a daily basis. You represent them well.
Right. Expressing opinions that you don't agree with is "whining".Baldy wrote:Grizalltheway wrote:

1) The world will be inherited by Millennials
2) but only after being ripped out of the cold dead hands of the mostly fat mostly angry overly self important conservatives hanging on like death until the very end as they squeeze every last nickle out of the charred playing field and ferret into their dusky molded bank accounts 3) This cycle will repeat (for infinity)
When a more pleasing solution would be something like:
Well it's yours to do with as you please, Might I suggest you consider a few things before we go..?
Keep fighting the good fight gentlemen, the view from the cheap seats is spectacular

What if I like to laugh and think for myself?BlueHen86 wrote:We've become a nation of instant gratification and short attention spans. Nobody wants to think anymore.
People who watch Stewart and Colbert want to laugh, people who listen to Limbaugh want to be told what to think. Nobody wants to think for themselves.

That's true. I enjoy Colbert for his slant on the news but in no way should anyone take what he (or any newscaster) says as the Gospel truth. That's the problem. People listen to Rush, Hannity, Maddow, Stewart, o'reilly and they think these guys are giving un biased, cold hard facts.BlueHen86 wrote:We've become a nation of instant gratification and short attention spans.

This is not news. It began with the very first television commercial and accelerated with the development of the PC and the Internet.BlueHen86 wrote:We've become a nation of instant gratification and short attention spans. Nobody wants to think anymore.
