Comedians are, in fact, a more credible source of news than TV news or newspapers. They generally pay more attention to what's actually happening in the world.
Makes sense to an extent. The best comedians use observational humor, and will make you laugh and think.
That said, comedians are merely another group that isn’t sponsored to warp Truth for Profit. Anyone could deliver factual news reporting if they wanted to AND if the audience actually gave a shit about being informed with facts.
The latter is the real problem, and sums up why MENSA isn’t delivering the news. They gave up on humanity long ago. Now we need a humor specialist just to deliver anything close to the horrors of truth and fact to an idiocratic society seemingly hell-bent to demand anything but.
An idiocratic audience, is why Charlie Clickbait and Viral Veronica work for mainstream news now.
