    TBH they used to be more diverse with their material but trump makes it way too easy. When you have a president who goes off on the press every press conference and constantly lies about basic things (how many electoral votes he got for example) lol comedy shows have a gold mine of material.

    Yeah not saying trump isn't asking for it I just think its boring the dude talks about trump all the time. Used to like it a lot more when the other guy did it (but maybe thats because I haven't seen trevor doing something else)

    Jon Stewart was the GOAT. As far as satire goes, I don't think anyone could match Jon Stewart. It just came so natural to him. So it's a bit of an unfair comparison because Trevor is just starting but he's definitely getting better. They tend to always focus on whoever is in office though--Trump is just abnormal compared to all his predecessors so he's going to get more of a focus lol.

    I didn't say specifically to laugh, but for entertainment yes...Either way I don't know why you're acting like this is so ridiculous since you already admitted you know nothing about the kind of videos I watch on there and I already showed you how they show entire conversations and don't only show the idiots as you assumed they did. ..Once again I don't watch the in studio stuff or the Alex Jones stuff.

    Sure is fun posting literally one sentence in a political thread and having enigma, res, etc calling me idiots and debating with me for 4 hours about a different opinion, man you guys are so open minded. Love how I now support infowars phony products and think they're a legitimate news source cuz of the sentence 'this may be the most annoying protester ever.'

    Sorry I tried to join in this discussion, I'll leave now so you guys can go back to this thread being 100% liberal and everyone holding hands and getting along.

    See... you keep flip flopping here kon lol. First you claim that you realize infowars is bias but then you keep saying that these videos aren't edited insinuating that they aren't biased. So which one is it? Do you watch these videos because you believe infowars gives accurate reporting or do you watch them for entertainment?

    It's not my fault that you backed yourself into a corner lol. If you get your news from infowars just say it, don't hide behind "I just watch it for entertainment" lol. TBH I prob would have just ended it there.

    Are you serious right now? Lmao... I said these videos aren't edited the way you think cuz they show entire conversations, smart protesters etc but infowars themselves are obviously biased. Didn't flip flop on that.

    Wow...

    My criticism went beyond editing but nonetheless, you don't think the videos you posted were bias in anyway? You think it was fair reporting? I'm just trying to see what you get out of them lol

    "Their YouTube videos [infowars] have been viewed over 1 billion times on YouTube...that's about 4x as much the view count as NBC and Fox New's YouTube channel"

    How many of them are pulling a kon though and watching it solely for entertainment?

    Yeah it's impossible for me to watch some videos on a YouTube channel without me considering it a news source apparently.

    There's not even news in the kinds of videos I watch on there lol...

    You know when I was like 6, I thought it was a bit odd that America is fighting all these wars and then just getting out. And not gaining much for it.

    And then Trump came along, and one of his great ideas was that "to the victor belong the spoils" :rejoice:

    And we really shouldn't be fighting when there's nothing to gain. We shouldn't have gone to Iraq. Let's just sort our own infrastructure and not worry about other countries.

    Oh right, it's like the company would make the stuff in Mexico for cheap and then sell it in America. Now I think I understand. So it is a dilemma
