On comedy and satire in political commentary. From May 10, 2019. The further away news organizations get from real news analysis, and the deeper into acrimonious opinion panels...the more room they make for someone else to do the analysis. Jon Stewart found a huge hole to fill with deep dives on issues of the day, peppered with biting commentary. He called it "fake news" when he found some news organizations upset with his style. There's still lots of room today; since most tv "news" channels feature opinionated hosts, and panelists with entrenched positions. Most of what we see on "news" channels is not news; it's "talk". So it's a good thing that nightly or weekly shows can take time to dig deep into an issue, and wring it tight with sharp commentary. Makes fair use of bits from CNN Crossfire, The Daily Show, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, The Rick Mercer Report.
