In Rolling Stone’s America’s Anchors,-Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert faked it untill they made it, Maureen Dowd interviews hosts of the Daily Show and The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart on their rise to fame with their political satires.They are not real news programs It is on Comedy Central, so it can’t be taken too seriously. They even admit they should not be taken seriously.Both are educated and have a training in stand-up comedy. They both went to college and they are ordinary people, so they appeal to people. I think that these types of shows should not be taken too seriously. They get people interested in the news. Colbert even claims in the interview that he makes up facts to get a discussion going. I think as long as people take these kinds of shows in perspective, then they can laugh about politics. This show should allow skeptics to be inspired to get more involved in current events and know what is happening. It should not be the only source of news. Cynics will never care about what’s going on.
