Last night we were watching the Daily Show and she looks at me and says

"I dont like him, I like Colbert more he has the shares the same views as me".

I ask back " What do you mean?"

"He is a republican like me".

I started to laugh at her and she got pissed and asked "Whats so Funny!"

I asked " Ever heard of satire? He is making fun of pretty much everyone on Fox News".

Well at this point she just called me a lair and I dont know what I'm talking about so I just showed her all the articles I could find about the subject and all she could say back is " I dont like either of them now (meaning daily show and colbert show).

Sparknotes my gf thought colbert was a Republican there for she liked him for speaking the truth lol.

legitimately the best thing to do right now would be to let the retard conservatives be retard conservatives...theyll continue to be assclowns and people like gary johnson and other independents will start to gain a larger following!

First off, I am a libertarian but would vote (if i could) republican because almost all elections, voting for the libertarian candidate (if i like them), is pretty much a wasted vote.. so today in class this kid who thinks i like him, but i don't, was talking about politics and just bullshitting so i would like him. He's like are you a republican (to this other kid in the calss), and the kids like "no" so then i'm like i am (joking, because he already knows that) and them i'm like, nah i'm just kidding i am a libertarian (because i am), so he goes i would hate you if you were.. and then i was like i am and he was like no you hate barack obama and stuff and i just face palmed and that kid just pisses me off.. i had to vent lol

Every news outlet is slanted. That isn't even our real problem. We lack any skills for critical thinking and that's what kills us in the end. We live in a world where every bit of information is at your fingertips. At the same time, there's a lot of bullshit out there that you have to be able to sort through.


When you start assuming everything that comes out of someones mouth is truth, you lose the game.

I'd rather watch Fox News in the morning than CNN or MSNBC. MSNBC they people sit around a table a down talk republicans the whole time.. fox actually covers news in the morning, when i want to see it

Maybe it varies times of day but every time I've listened to the fox news my mom has on it's been something about being horrible and dem's trying to do this.

It sucks when you can't get credible news from places who's job it is (supposed to be at least), to bring you the news.

We live in a world of angles. You need to keep a fucking protractor on you to figure what slant they're coming at you from.

yeah. the really frustrating part is that there isn't a news/media outlet that attempt to cut through the bullshit for it's viewers, which seems like one of the roles any good news outlet should theoretically fulfill. instead most of the just make it harder than it already is for the viewer to figure out the truth

Yup. Everything has a slant. Even the underground unofficial shit. Like "the young turks" on youtube. Everybody's playing a fucking angle these days.


I might move to siberia. The world might still implode, but at least I won't have to listen to the process.

It's all satire obviously but he has a more pro right perspective, when Jon Stewart is more left leaning, so she doesn't seem completely off base....and I'm sure she would love to know you made this thread about her

It took 5 posts for someone to turn this thread from a story--in which the author expressed no bias one way or the other towards Fox, but merely pointed out that Colbert makes fun of Fox--into a back and forth shit storm about news companies. Congratulations buddy.

It's ok, can't blame you for trying, it is a funny story. Unfortunately, I think, as other people have pointed out, that your girlfriend may be half-retard.

A lot a people take Colbert seriously. I can not begin to wonder what it would be like to have such a loose grip on reality. It must be nice.

i knew this one dude who was in the military (hadn't been deployed yet) and he hated Jon Stewart cause he was " a liberraal" and loved Colbert because he "told it like it was." I decided not to shatter his reality and instead let him keep living in a fantasy world cause those people are best left as such.

CNN tries to be neutral but honestly that's why they don't get the rating other networks get, people want to watch stations that give to the side of the fence they are one. They don't want to hear the other party thus why people usually like either NBC or FOX.
