I wouldn't normally write a topic on this, but the other day I did a survey that classified the daily show and the Colbert report as news programs. At about 4:45 in this video Jon Stewart states that his show is not a news show but a comedy show. Where news shows edit the video to make their point of view known. The daily show edits it video to make jokes about the politicians. How can this be considered news by any means. Is this a way for the far left to change the meaning of news programs ? Or are people just trying to insult our intelligent's ? Whats you opinion on this?

I wouldn't normally do a topic about this, but the other day I did a survey on news programs. They through in the Daily show and the Colbert report as news shows. Even by Jon Stewarts own words he is a comedy show not a news show. ( about 4:45 into video )So how can people start to classify these shows as news. I agree that they make fun of the politicians. They definitely take what the politicians say out of context to make jokes out of the politicians. I also agree that all news shows will edit their clips to make their point of view. I just don't think that comedy shows are news shows, whats your opinion on this.

I think it drives a wedge between the classes that can't be made up no matter how hard you try.
