I like how "evidence" is required when everyone is not parroting the "facts" everyone got by watching the same "news"-cum-"comedy show" on TV.

- DaiPlusPlus 9y agoI'll grant you that. I do die a tiny bit inside when shows like Last Week Tonight or The Daily Show, both of which imply that heavy research goes into their programming, will have their hosts say "Studies have shown..." but fail to give a citation. A simple, unobtrusive on-screen citation text doesn't take trouble to add, yet would significantly boost the shows' credibility - and hopefully coax the rest of the media into doing the same.
