I get pretty annoyed with the daily show. I comedically driven show up on so frequently on such a dry topic lends it self to being hyperbolic The other examples is when a congressperson “ “ eviscerates” another in their argument” A lot of the times, I feel like they aren’t making a good point to qualify for all that show or don’t land with their intended audience

My only prominent example that comes to mind is AOC because I tend not to follow the less radical democrats like that, but yeah, the most you ever get from them is a firm fingering wagging for the camera

Daily show 10 times out of 10 That being said, a lot of work I do is trying to deconstruct conservative beliefs and find common ground for them to step to toward leftist (sometimes past liberals all together) When I’m not really trying to gaf, but I’m trying to get informed, because I’m not in the mood for it, aggravates me because it feels like more work having to figure out the clarity of the sto
