Comedy and Politics: Making Americans More Cynical?
at
Comedy and Politics, is there a difference? Boom! Wait is that too snarky? Don’t want to make Salon cry.
Check out Lewis Black, W, Kamau Bell and Laura Krafft. These three figures in comedy did a Meet the Press round table with Chuck Todd on NBC. The discussion was based around the question on if comedy is making Americans more cynical about politics in the country?
The panel discusses the places where people are getting their news from including the Daily Show with Jon Stewart which Salon has a problem with, also why comedians are more trusted than actual news organizations and what’s feeding all the cynicism.
Plus Lewis Black reveals that he found out that his audiences are angrier than he is. That’s hard to imagine.
