Bipartisan Senate group proposes ‘no fly, no buy’ gun measure
(10-19-2018, 07:02 PM)pbrower2a Wrote: Humor is the best analysis of news. The deadly-serious treatment of everything in the news on FoX News contrasts to what comedians say about what they see. It is telling that a study of whether people got reality right (that they disagreed with such statements as

1. Saddam Hussein had culpability in the 9/11 attack
2. Saddam Hussein was in possession of weapons of mass destruction in violation of the armistice
3. Saddam Hussein was a supporter of international terrorism, and
4. the  rest of the world agreed with the Bush 43 administration)

depended upon the sources that people had for news.    


Those who relied upon the thirty-minute newscasts on network television (the limitations should be obvious) got it all wrong. People who relied upon newspapers, cable news other than FoX, the PBS News Hour (which can telescope sections of news coverage to fit what it sees appropriate to tell the story), or NPR got it right. So did people who watched the Daily Show, a comedic treatment of events.

Those who watched FoX News got it wrong. The problem is that such people watched a huge amount of what they thought was news.

So what was it about the Daily Show? It exposed the ineptitude of Dubya for what it was through parody and mockery.
Funny, I never heard the one about Saddam being involved in the 9/11 attack. I heard about the rest but not that one. How did the blue media outlets know that Saddam had gotten rid of the WMD's ? I have to admit that GW seemed like a wimp compared to Trump when it came to handling the blue media and all its crap.
