Drifter posted:So it seems like the segment about Bill Nye was really showcasing how Bill's not only rather ineffectual in getting his point across to 'the other side' (it's a communication bridge that probably can't be crossed at this time) but how he's actually doing a disservice to the scientific community/crowd at large by willingly allowing himself to be this sort of easily disregardable figurehead of the idea of climate change by the owl deniers. I wouldn't say that. Putting aside the question of how effective he actually is, it's much better that there's a recognizable figure of authority promoting the climate change issue than some random douche spouting the exact same couple talking-points on every network. At the very least, he does actively fight against the idea that there's a dichotomy to the issue and is easily one of the best people to have in that position. Also, it is monumentally easier to talk over a general social realization than a person, that's why people are so quick to use anecdotal and "personal" stories as proof for their beliefs.

You guys are aware you're trying to explain misogyny to a pedophile, right?

I'm willing to bet that anyone who actually thinks The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight are good journalists has a fairly limited exposure to news media. They are definitely smart and entertaining, but they are certainly not journalist. Hell, them not being journalist is what makes them so great.

Freaquency posted:There's a weird class of free speech advocate that believes that the government shouldn't block any speech because the ~*~Free Market~*~ will self-censor or whatever, but then throw a fit when the free market starts in on something that they like. I'll never get it. These are the same people that whine about people saying group x faces discrimination and then say that straight, white males are the "last acceptable targets" with a straight face. Trying to get them is a fool's errand.

Come on, Joe, you're better at this than that. Try again but this time put in some actual effort.

Ravane posted:Bernie Sanders, Obama, both Clintons, McCain, Rumsfeld, etc were all established politicians before going on the Daily Show. Nobody's going to take them lightly, and they'll easily become more appealing in a more casual environment. Donald Trump was just some rear end in a top hat hosting The Apprentice, someone who's done really nothing but make racist and misogynistic comments and actions his entire career. No democrat takes him seriously already, and if he went on LWT, he'd just be skewered. It makes no sense for him to even consider going on comedy shows of this type, which are typically filled with more liberal viewers. Funny how arguments actually make sense when they come from someone other than Irish Joe.
