[Locked] news from the daily show?

I was having a discussion with one of the guys who picked me up while I was hitch-hiking. Eventually the discussion moved to television and we agreed that people who get their news exclusively from the daily show and similar shows and mediums that lampoon the news. I'm wondering if anybody here gets their news and info exclusively from comedy news, like the Daily Show, The Colbert Report and the Onion, among others.

Not exclusively....people I know watch a lot of news so I get told the important stuff by them most of the time....that or I'm in the room while they're watching it.

The people who watch The Daily Show are stoned slackers.

I get my news from other people who run up to me and are like "DID YOU WATCH THE NEWS!!!"

well lol
yeah I watch it it's funny as hell I just watch for the comedy but it's really informative.

I don't deny the fact that the daily show is informative. And it's defenitely entertaining. however it shouldn't be used as someone's exclusive source of information.

I actually am not american and don't understand much of politics so I can't really enjoy the Daily Show. But I still watch the news.

I actually don't really watch the news atm seeing as I sleep all morning and keep myself doing other things so I never have the time to watch the news so I get some news from them comedy shows from time to time. I sometimes watch "The Colbert Report", "The Daily Show", "Late Night with Conan O'Brien", but I mainly just watch them for the lulz not so much for the news.

I don't watch daily shows like Brien's or Leno's regularly but when I do get some time to watch I do. I regularly visit The Onion and FARK.com for some really funny news.

I get new mainly from The Colbert Report and a youtube channel, but that's mostly because I don't really care that much about what's going on. When I do, I'll watch something more informative.

Not really. I'll watch comedy news shows now and again, but I actually watch the local and national news in the evening as well.

Someone clearly doesn't know enough about The Daily Show to see that my statement was satire of a certain pundit who doesn't like The Daily Show.
...Or they did, and they're huge fans of Bill O'Reilly.

Haha, nice didn't notice that. I negated it. I hope whoever did it doesn't actually like O'Reilly or they need to like leave NOW! <.<

Something wrong with liking O'reilly? Before you even think about it, I didn't -rep tegumi.

On the topic at hand I don't watch the daily show. I've tried in the past to watch it or the Colbert report and didn't find them funny and was rather annoyed at how people took such biased crap as actual news. I've had people come up to me repeating the gibberish they heard on either show and touting it like legit journalism despite the fact the "facts" they heard were wrong.

I get my news from what I consider legitimate media such as Fox news, CNN Headline News, N.P.R., W.S.B 750, and various newspapers (Atlanta Journal) or online articles.

The same people who claimed /b/tards were an organized terrorist group with the power to blow up a van from a computer?

gf has a LMD subscription, for nostalgic reasons (she's from clermont-ferrand, so it's like a bit of mail from home to her). I sometimes read a bit of that so I can keep up with her angry rants, but not too much, as the infernal garbage the media vomit and defecate all over our heads on a daily basis isn't really something I want to subject myself to willingly.

That was a stand alone news channel based out of Los Angles California. I love how people like you try to tie that in with the actual Fox News Channel that was created in 1996 headquartered in New York City. Instead of the Fox 11 channel that was created in 1949.

My Fox 11

Fox News Channel

At least provide a legitimate reason you dislike Fox instead of pulling a straw man.

Edit:Can you at least change the code so it doesn't start automatically? It's quite annoying.

It is like the equivalent of saying someone likes Pat Robertson. XD

Oh, in all honestly I don't care. I dislike the guy for all of, what I think to be, his conservative nonsense and bullshit accusations against Obama, the Democratic Party in general, and his views on less than traditional practices in the United States. However, I realize its to each is their own. I'm sure some of the same liberal political commentators I like are just as hated.

It wouldn't be like troll-chan to not troll others with autoplay vids.

Just making sure you had an actual (I hoped more specific) reason that you dislike him instead of being one of the people that just hate him because it's popular.

Edit; Flashblock FTW.
