January 25, 2019 - Satire & Journalism
b'
Why are satirical news shows now considered journalism? That\'s what we\'re looking at this week. Spoiler alert, it has a lot to do with Jon Stewart and The Daily Show.
\\nAs always, there\'s news to know and good news. This week\'s good news has a family helping out one of their own, Britain\'s increase in green energy, promising results from from a new MS treatment and a date for Romeo, the world\'s loneliest frog.
\\n***Correction*** in this week\'s episode, I said Stewart was on the cover of Rolling Stone and deemed most trusted name in news in 2009. Stewart was on the cover of Rolling Stone in 2004. However, Stewart was named most trusted newscaster by Time Magazine in 2009.
