in some ways this could be good bc ppl really need to quit watching shit like the daily show for "news" that just confirms what they want to hear

but it could just mean becoming "equal opportunity offender"

"news" that just confirms what they want to hear

u mean like fox news?

don't be obtuse, we all know fox is stupid

yt liberals have loved the daily show because it makes them feel informed without actually engaging them very much

still better than some asshole targeting the ~internet outrage machine

i'm okay with that if it lasts a month or two and gets him cancelled

it won't, redditshits will eat it up and use gifs to bolster their ~both sides do it arguements

what redditshits think of it doesn't have that big of an effect on the bottom lines that TV depends on given jon stewart's popularity

a lot of ppl will just demand more last week tonight

ur vastly underestimating comedy central's willingness 2 cater 2 the lowest common denominator tbh

The Stewart Daily Show was focused on the day's political news and gaffes, but that's a currency that is shared less and less online. Noah seems more interested in the idea of the online outrage machine and the targets it chooses (which have included him). If he can translate that idea to TV, then the show could successfully reinvent itself for a new era.

yeah okay, ugh

i don't see how the ratings for that could be sustainable tho, redditshits aren't a big marketing demographic and ppl who don't sit around reading slate and twitter all day aren't going to want to hear about mysterious SJWs all the time

so hope it dad

facebook grandpas will gravitate to it tbh

sure, but thats still not likely to carry the viewership that comedy central needs to sell prime time ads

(Anonymous) 2015-07-30 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
