EP#50 - Should We Be Receiving Our News From Comedians?

from Twenty Somethings · host Sound Pollination

It seems every morning we wake up to a new clip from John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers or Bill Maher making fun of Trump or something crazy happening in Washington DC.  Usually, these comedians are poking fun at events happening in the news to help people cope with troubling headlines by accompanying them with a laugh. But, some people, and many millenials, are receiving their news solely through comedians and satire.  Today, we ask whether this is a good or bad phenomenon, and how this style of news can be modified moving forward.
