GG Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Read today's NYT article about Stewart's white house visits. If certainly doesn't look like the Obama administration thought he was simply hosting a nightly comedy news program. It's astounding that you keep digging your heels on this obvious topic.

Deranged Rhino Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Would you consider it a show that presents current events, interviews and commentary? Oh and you're sleeping with Stewart aren't you. It's a nightly talk show. They all present current events and interviews. Stewart reinvented the format, which many have tried (and failed) to do in the past, but it's still a talk show. And sadly, I am not sleeping with Stewart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It's a nightly talk show. They all present current events and interviews. Thank you. It's a news program in a format that is different from the nightly news we all grew up with but a news program nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it, it's ridiculous I agree. But it has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. Thank you. It's a news program in a format that is different from the nightly news we all grew up with but a news program nonetheless. No, it's not a news program. It's a nightly talk show. Was Letterman a news program? The Tonight Show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I read it, it's ridiculous I agree. But it has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. No, it's not a news program. It's a nightly talk show. Was Letterman a news program? The Tonight Show? It's not a news program...except that it's the prime source of news for an audience that treats it as a news program. Does that make it a news program or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 No, it's not a news program. It's a nightly talk show. Was Letterman a news program? The Tonight Show? Now, THAT is a dumbass comparison. Do better, lemming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 No, it's not a news program. It's a nightly talk show. Was Letterman a news program? The Tonight Show? I think someone needs to look up the definition of news. And Letterman was a talk/variety show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make it a news program or not? 100% not. Just because some dumbass wants to treat Charlie Sheen as a voice of reason that doesn't suddenly make Charlie Sheen the voice of reason.

Chef Jim Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 100% not. Just because some dumbass wants to treat Charlie Sheen as a voice of reason that doesn't suddenly make Charlie Sheen the voice of reason. But at what point are there enough people using Charlie as a voice of reason that he becomes a voice of reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because some dumbass wants to treat Charlie Sheen as a voice of reason that doesn't suddenly make Charlie Sheen the voice of reason. Except there is a "reasonable person" standard. And while The Daily Show may not be a news program, it is certainly an op-ed show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Now, THAT is a dumbass comparison. Do better, lemming. How is it a dumb comparison when that's exactly what The Daily Show is? I think someone needs to look up the definition of news. And Letterman was a talk/variety show. That's what the Daily Show is. That's it's Emmy category for cripe's sake.

Was Letterman a news program? The Tonight Show? It had everything to do with what you're talking about. Does the white house equate Letterman with Cronkite?
