If main stream news outlets are all fake, does that mean these comedians are telling it like it is?

The nation’s comics are the heroes of Trump’s reign. And as the article says, they’re ahead of the news outlets in portraying the dummy with his shortcomings for the tasteless joke he actually is.
Actually, they take the bullshit “news” spews, and expand on it.
Also,if they don’t pander to the liberal crowd of hate, the ratings drop.
I don’t watch any of them anymore.
This isn’t the first POTUS they’ve been relentless with though. Jimmy Carter took second seat to brother Billy a lot. They also would not give up on his teeth.
They didn’t respect his family at all. They went after daughter Chelsea like it was open season on her most of the time.
Ford took a lot of $hist also.
you would think it would keep them on their toes, but Trump is a comedians wet dream they don’t have to write the shit he says and does just sit back and wait.
@Patty_Melt That is one thing I really like about this lot doesn’t matter if you are right or left screw up and these guys will let ya know big time.

My opinion is that if everyone is consuming the same information it doesn’t matter what the incentive is, you’ll get a similar result. People like their cognitive biases, they’re comfortable and everything we do in this culture of technology and media reflects that. Maybe comedians aren’t being presented with the exact same incentives as mainstream media, but the consumers are pretty much the same and so it’s just a different package. Same with memes and other viral entertainment.
Sure every President gets his share of ribbing from comics of his day. But @KNOWITALL you cannot ignore the fact that there has never been a goldmine for jokes so dependably rich as this one. I mean Trump is so huge a bonanza for poking fun at, that he not only exceeds all the other Presidents COMBINED, but I defy anyone here to name ANY individual who comes close to generating material for laughter. It is no exaggeration to state that he is the greatest sustained tasteless bad joke in my lifetime, and I believe he probably holds the title in that category for the history of the world. It really is unbelievable.
@stanleybmanly I’m not sure I’d agree, Bush Jr was mocked fairly relentlessly, too.
@KNOWITALL Trump is also very unpredictable, dictator like, also non diplomatic,he is a comedians wet dream.
@KNOWITALL yes Bush took a lot of heat, but there is no comparison to the sheer magnitude and volume of ridicule and derision heaped upon Trump. And that is because the man is so reliably guaranteed to deliver gaffes and fkups that he rivals sunrise and the phases of the moon in predictability. He is the undisputed, unrivaled primary well of comedy material WORLD WIDE, and I honestly cannot name a topic or source to top him—EVER!
@stanleybmanly Wow, he’s really got into your head. Pinning all your hopes on Biden though? Yikes.
@KNOWITALL I would take the homeless guy on the Park Bench over Trump!
Aint ya glad I am a Canadian and can’t vote in your elections.
@SQUEEKY2 I am glad you can’t vote here, yes.
Btw, I didn’t see you posting about the racist, dog-abusing Canadian. What was your opinion on her actions?
It is pretty much as squeek put it. Biden is my pick SOLELY as a Trump block. If Biden is the best the Democrats can do, he will have to suffice. The comics will have a field day with Biden too, but in comparison to Trump they will be jumping off bridges and shooting themselves in despair when Trump leaves office and the ogre well dries up.
As for showing Trump with no mask on memorial day, as opposed to Biden did wear one, I would prefer Biden wear one any time he is in public.
Yes and the fool should wear a muzzle!
@KNOWITALL You know Trump is 8% point lower than Biden in the latest FOX poll for President. Biden at 48 percent support and Trump at 40 percent, with 11 percent undecided or saying they’ll support someone else !
@KNOWITALL Your NEWZ outlet is saying “Donnie Downer !”
~ ~ And shooting the people will make all the people of color vote for ‘cuz “They’re scared.”
Your hero’s only out is hold the White House hostage after losing. Then refusing to leave the WH because the next President would put up Obama’s portrait !
@Tropical_Willie Why do you post your rants to me so often? I truly don’t get it.
Everyone knows I’ve voted Dem and Rep and lean more Libertarian, so it doesn’t make sense.
The reason I am vocal, is that so many of you are anti-Trump, you seem to no longer think clearly when it comes to our constitutional freedoms and rights as Americans. If he wins again, understand that I truly believe he will owe it to the Democrats.
I don’t like Hitler or his clone !
You apparently like both..
So how many is he going shoot and kill dozens maybe hundreds?
Oh and I’m sorry you think rational thinking is a rant ! SMH
