For those of us who have may have a slight interest in what’s happening on the other side of the world but find reports from CNN too dull and boring then rest easy, there is an alternative. One that will make you laugh at the same time as informing you of the hard-hitting issues in the USA.
Cable Television has produced two satirical current affairs shows that are bound to inform, educate and split your sides in hysterics. Originally there was The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (pic top right). This was followed closely by its successful spin off The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert (pronounced: Coal – bear Rep – pore) (pic bottom right).
The news is real and correct. The people interviewed are real. The reporters may be fake though, you be the judge. Both hosts offer something different to the viewers. They are very different which is why they run successfully back-to-back in America and on the Comedy Channel here in Australia.
If you are like me and have no idea about what’s going on in the USA then I highly recommend you give these chaps a go and tune into the Comedy Channel (on Foxtel Digital) most weeknights for your dosage.
