And yet many people do take their guests seriously. Maybe they shouldn’t, but they do. A lot of people get all of their news from The Daily Show. I hate that, but that’s just how it is. So when they platform a fraud like Elizondo, that’s a problem.
Sure kid, large numbers of people worth engaging, accomodating, or mitigating are using The Daily Show as their exclusive source of news. Next you’ll tell me Oprah is a good person.
Who you personally care to engage with is not at issue here. There are far more people than that and they cumulatively guide society. Ignore that at your peril.
There are not enough such people getting their news from The Daily Show to matter, no way, no how, and whether I would personally engage with them on an individual level was not what I was getting at; I was referring to engagement and mitigation on a societal level, ie dumbing-down The Daily Show or turning it into a more serious show, neither of which would work anyways - the idiots would find other shows to reinforce their delusions. Pretending there are enough people to make that reasonable is an absurdly stupid proposition. Are you convinced most of the MAGA crowd get’s all their news from The Daily Show or something?
Fun thing about fact-checking YOUR JOKESat the guests’ expense, is that they can say whatever bullshit they want, and the audience knows the guest isn’t in on, doesn’t get the joke. Are you trying to present yourself as clueless enough to garner a guest spot?
No, it was about whether they should do so and whether those idiots that do such exist in sufficient numbers to be a hindrance to society. The only evidence I’ve seen of those idiots numbers existing in even the low single digits are right here in this thread.
Also, Flanz inclued themselves in that reference. Are you really so bad at reading comprehension?

EDIT: added “large numbers”, for clarity.

You sure about that? Because the people behind the show, who get the metrics, seem to feel otherwise.

I’m not sure why telling quoting about what the staff remembers has any bearing on what the viewers believe.
Wasn’t this about the viewers and whether or not they give the Daily Show credibility as a news source?
No, it was about whether they should do so and whether those idiots that do such exist in sufficient numbers to be a hindrance to society. The only evidence I’ve seen of those idiots numbers existing in even the low single digits are right here in this thread.

And I showed you that, based on the Daily Show producers who get metrics, that they do.
You should know better than to rely on your own personal anecdotal evidence in a skeptic community.
