Are people really taking news satire at face value

I believe so...

Mahr has one too.

That would require him to be funny. He just has a show.

Wasn't his dad an alleged KKK member who refused to rent property to black people?

What does it have to do with this thread

 

[Hellwarden]

Well it tries to be anyway.

Boy does it try...I'll give it that.

What does it have to do with this thread

It has to do with Donald Trump. And it's either ask that question here, or in the dozen other Trump threads that it's not 100% related to - or add to the latter by asking the question in a new thread.

It's a dumb false equivalency, but I can't stand people who despise religious fundamentalism and want to fight it with.... more religious fundamentalism.

 

[Kathian]

There are a lot of white members of ISIS so it seems dumb to add that. Also the idea there are no non whites with islamophobic views is clearly once again dumb.

No it doesn't. Except if you consider children responsible for their fathers.

It's more about finding reasoning for the child's beliefs in the father.

Does it bother you to look at Trump up close?

 

[womfalcs3]

Trump also beheads his enemies, throws gays off buildings and crucifies non believers.

Oh wait. ...

Well... Trump did call for killing the families of terrorists.

Dude, I'm not even American. That's how much it "bothers" me. But go on, i guess "having à shit father makes you à shit person" is a very healthy line of thought.

It's not unusual to imaging having a Klansman for a father could influence how you see minorities.

Anyway, something bothered you enough to comment

 

[Laughing Banana]

That trivilizes the absolute horror ISIS is inflicting on civilians, including rape and murder.

For someone who is so fond of posting one liner responses, you are surprisingly humorless on this one.

It's a comedy show, it's satire, and anyone can clearly see what is the intention of the message, if they are not being obtuse about it.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Pshh. The Donald transcends any specific terrible ideology/group.

cool?

this is a sensible critique on a satirical description of an awful person. /s


hitler also killed like 10 million people, but lots of people compare Trump to him too

 

[Seiniyta]

Yeah the current daily show feels like an alternative universe imitation.

I really wish Aasif Mandvi was the host.

Aasif didn't want to host the show so there's that unfortunately. Noah isn't terrible though, but he doesn't have the same charm as Jon or some of the old senior correspondences.

 

[Machina]

Does it still count as a comedy show if you never laugh?

That's because most of the shit he has to talk about these days is incapable of being funny, including Trump's existence. That stopped being funny a long time ago.

 

[Roi]

Wait, is ISIS considered 'black' ?

 

[davepoobond]

not everything is black and white

If Trump becomes president, he may just give them a run for their money.

And the Donald is not going to screw over the American people by getting ripped off by contractors when he builds those special freedom ovens. He is going to get us them at a great price!

I'm kind of terrified that I read this in Donald Trump's voice.

 

[Monocle]

Well... Trump did call for killing the families of terrorists.

Yeah, it's totally possible to creatively interpret that and track down the gay members of terrorists' families and throw them off buildings.

So technically Trump makes the grade.

 

[Keasar]

It's a joke.

I thought it was a funny one.

Cause I don't like Donald Trump.

Or ISIS.

And, don't forget: Donald Trump wants to bang his daughter.
