      @tylertone2776 5 років тому +20

      I'll concede that if you are talking about all the sensational cable news channels created in the last 30 years or so, but otherwise nah. Look at any compelling bit of information presented in comedy like this show, and in captions you'll see it sourced directly from print media and their primary sources.
      With youtube and internet, people feel obligated to free news/info thus forego paying so many once comprehensive established institutions of the fourth estate in the face of increasingly unhappy shareholders have to halt massively diminishing profits and downsizing, have to resort to sensational headlines that encourage clicks (to see new distinguishable ads) because firms like Buzzfeed are discovered to have been ten times more profitable for ten years. Not talking about Cnn and kin which are well.. what they've always been.
      That stuff is very important because the most damning information about massive corruption in government/corps is used by Jon and Stephen free from NYT or WSJ whose staff spent unspeakable cash and years investigating each nook and cranny to get that shocking information out to the public sphere in the first place.
      Holding leaders of the world accountable through that kind of work is happening less and less because rather than read the report initially published by them in support, people will now choose instead to watch their favorite youtube/tv commentator summarize it.
      This is instrumental to a functioning democracy where government is held accountable for their shit, so don't let all of CNN's yellow journalism and the occasional mistake by oftentimes the same reporter in print media (in modern times, amplified extensively because there is always many opponents who want to dispute the integrity of various print investigations) destroy your appreciation for the real journalism out there with primary sources and facts. Buy a sub to your local paper peeps!

However, you also have to remember that print media is not very popular. had daily show not picked up many of these stories, they would not be consumed by the public. it would be great if cable news like fox or cnn did the same thing. but they rarely do. and when they do they heavily distort it in order to present a product suitable for their audience. the difference is, when the daily show does it, you are actually better informed.

    Actually, yes, America kind of owns the ocean.
    A friend of mine had visited the US to buy a boat, with which he had then planned to sail through the Carribean and back to Europe. His first stop WOULD have been Cuba.
    He was literally stopped by American Patrol boats when he had Havanna in sight. I was supposed to meet him in Havanna to join his sailing tour and I had already gotten the message that he could see Havanna..... followed by 3 days of silence and eventually the message that the US coast guard had stopped them right in front of Cuban waters to escort them back to Florida.
    Here is the thing. By international law, that does count as piratery. Countries only have control over the 12 mile zone, which for the US, definitely does not extent until Cuba's 12 mile zone. Then again, the US is unfortunately not exactly known to follow international laws and regulations.

When we invade other countries with no clear reason and destabilize them to the point where an extremist group can sweep in and occupy half of that country once we leave, we're protecting freedom. When we insist on having our military in every goddamn corner of the globe (with many of our servicemen misbehaving in unethical and often criminal ways), we're simply there to protect your freedom. You should be grateful that we in 'Murica do so much to keep you free =)
