Weren't they pushing fake news to the masses to try to influence the election? I mean isnt that what we are accusing Russia of? So how is it ok for the Daily Show to promote fake news to try to influence the election...
shareSomeone truly does not understand the concept of "satire" and cannot distinguish it from a disinformation campaign from a foreign government. I guess I don't need to ask how you voted.
shareWait? This is supposed to be satire? I thought satire would have a little more wit to it. I guess when someone reports on a subject and gives op-ed style commentary with no jokes...I kind of took it as simply fake news. Please explain to me the "satire" that only a genius like yourself could get from Trevor Noah's reporting of the completely lacking of factual information story on Trump being blackmailed by Russia for a golden shower video. Now I want to ask you...if a reporter had done the same type of story on Podesta's Spirit Cooking email or Comet Pizza's creepy facebook with pictures of kids strapped to tables...would you have labeled this satire. Ill be awaiting you explaining the satire that Trevor Noah applied to that story. Feel free to google the word satire to find its definition in coming up with your genius answer.

Haha what? They dont brief the President of things unless they know its true? Uhh..what? Who wrote the dossier? What are his sources? Cant tell me...k. Go to their website where Comet Pizza openly brags about having unsupervised minors running around and has pictures of kids taped to a table next to pictures of naked men and come back and tell me thats normal. There is plenty of more evidence to suggest Pizzagate is real than anything other than there being a dossier out there with absolutely no facts or sources.
And I am not denying that Obama appointed people in intelligence agencies who are incompetent traitors. We can agree on that.

Wait? He was acting as a British spy when he made this dossier? Damn...I thought he was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by people looking for shoddy info to trash trump...jesus. Libs are dumb as hell.
You also have to re-read your own writings. You said our intelligence agencies were telling others not to share info with us. That is treason, the heads are appointed by the president so we can all agree there.
As for Comet Pizza you clearly did no investigation. Go post this image on your social media and get back to me. http://pedocrats.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Taped-kid-at-Comet-Pizza.png Make sure its next to pictures of naked men in masks too.

So ex agents should just be taken at their word for sure. Especially when they are paid by groups with agendas right? Guess Bill and Hillary CLinton are coke traffickers then. http://www.infowars.com/september-surprise-ex-cia-operative-outs-bill-hillary-clinton-as-cocaine-traffickers/ I mean ex agents are gospel right?
Listen to your fake news. YOu think our intelligence professionals are telling outsiders to not work with the new regime...jesus. Then you attack others of believing fake news. You say a fake dossier by a guy paid hundreds of thousands of dollars is fact, but yet other Intelligence officers reports shouldnt be reported right? Let me guess...Secret service agents with first hand knowledge should not be taken at their word but a former MI6 agent who is currently in hiding with his hundreds of thousands he took should be...k http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/06/28/ex-secret_service_agent_people_need_to_know_the_real_hillary_clinton_and_how_dangerous_she_is.html
Detail the actual investigation done by the police into Comet Pizza. Wasnt the owner named prior to this as one of the most powerful people in Washington DC? I mean sounds like someone who could easily cover this up. Why did Barack Obama spend 75k of tax payers money on hotdogs and pizza for 30 people. I mean this is actually in emails sent by democrats.

And you are so confused...like an insane person. YOu dont even know what you are arguing anymore. You keep saying fake news and such and then saying this is real and then saying satire...you have no clue what youre even arguing anymore. You are just an uneducated liberal who needs to get off the internet and get a job.
shareAnd you would be wrong. You missed the satire or the satire missed you.
bit rich you accusing the original poster of missing satire. he totally set this up for you to fall for his 'wait, this is satire line', and you totally did.
No, I didn't.
Someone claiming that satire isn't funny isn't exactly satire. Or funny.
Wait? This is supposed to be satire?
that's cos the joke was in the punch line.
get it, he reeled you in with the first bit then set you up for the punch line which reveals that the rest of it was deception and what he really wanted to say was, the daily show isn't funny any more. And he'd be right. it's become just another political show with an agenda sadly. no perspective, no insight, no wit. And I say this as a long time fan of the show. It's over.
I think the OP set up did highlight the diminished satirical content of TDS.
It jumps the line between satirising current events into pure partisanship more often than not now, which is part of what makes it unfunny. Who likes to be preached to and manipulated, even if it is in a less wrong (right?) direction.
I OP fits my definition of satire, and was funnier than any recent episode of TDS
