I find it interesting you think so little of your own military that you think most, if not all service members would put their party affiliation before their oaths to their country.
I've explained it a million times in this thread. If the the creator's intent means nothing to you when evaluating their work, you're on your own mate.
Huh, I hadn't thought about it that way. I could also see the IoT adding so many nodes, it makes trying to control the internet too expensive to do properly, and that's even before we get to the more interesting stuff you brought up. Thanks!
Are you claiming Last Week Tonight makes their main segment (about a usually very boring subject) without the intent to inform people about it?
No.
Even if they present it a certain way, it is not just for shits and giggles.
Never said otherwise. My point is that their primary aim is to be funny. Oliver's been very explicit on this point when being interviewed. Everything else is important, sure, but secondary to the aim on skewering the world and making you laugh. To ignore that is folly.
As opposed to, because they make me laugh I don't have to hold them to any standard that I would normally hold for anyone else telling me the exact same thing but didn't make me laugh. Great one.
Nice strawman, care to try something a little more reality-based?
I sincerely hope you discover what logic and reasoning are.
Riiiiiight. I'm not the one making the argument that because stupid TV viewers feel one way about something that that's the only criteria we should be using to measure that thing. Good one.
You're ignoring a very important word there: Satire. By definition, it is a warped and skewed reading of the world, wholly unsuited to straight news reporting. LWT may have the effect of 'informing' viewers, and it may even count that as a useful adjunct to their work, but their primary focus is making fun of the world through a very specific comedy lens. Trying to contort them into something they're not is only doing you a disservice.
That's usually how it works, with guys like that. The world would be a much better place if "bros" didn't take the word No to mean "your penis is tiny".
Well, they certainly are heavily stacked in favour of "billionaires willing to bankroll all manner of tv and print organizations." The Dems only have one.

Information wants to be free?
He's got more of a clue than the president...

-Can't do it, it's too late

Congrats, you summarized the summary.

Okay. How about you showing the relevance in the letter of the law.
LOL, too lazy to use google, are ya? Here you go:

Hey, if we're playing fantasy games, might as well imagine Jill Stein isn't a complete fucking loon.
All I see is your bad reasoning and poor logic.
Yeah you said that already but you can't point to an actual example.
You should work on your humor.
Ah, I see your problem: I wasn't trying to be funny.
As opposed to, because they make me laugh I don't have to hold them to any standard that I would normally hold for anyone else telling me the exact same thing but didn't make me laugh. Great one.

There should be a mirror nearby.
Is satire a form of joke?
...I give up.
I sincerely hope you discover what logic and reasoning are.
Riiiiiight. I'm not the one making the argument that because stupid TV viewers feel one way about something that that's the only criteria we should be using to measure that thing. Good one.
That's because it doesn't have any relevance.
I sincerely hope you never get to serve on a jury.

When people use it to be informed on current events it ceases to be a "comedy show" even if they do jokes.
I find it interesting that intent has no relevance in your argument.
It presents itself as an informative source for information on a topic
Ah, I see, you're ignoring intent so you can make up your own version of reality.
No, simple "not interested" was insufficient.
That's usually how it works, with guys like that. The world would be a much better place if "bros" didn't take the word No to mean "your penis is tiny".
Trump's entire cabinet is comprised of billionaires and Goldman Sachs people.
I was gonna rebut with SecDef Mattis, but according to Forbes, the fucker's worth 5 million.
Well, they certainly are heavily stacked in favour of "billionaires willing to bankroll all manner of tv and print organizations." The Dems only have one.
$20 says this is vaporware. Any takers?
That sounds like wealth redistribution to the poorer states. Good job comrade!
but your focusing on the persona of a host of a TV show, rather than the guy playing the part
I haven't seen that much Apprentice, but I'm not seeing a lot of daylight between Trump the tv persona and Trump the politician.
Hey, at least he put a little effort into it. Usually it's just HURR DURR FIREFOX IS STILL A THING ROFL
