Jimmy Kimmel has done this hundreds of times in his recurring "Drunk Donald Trump" segment over the past 3.5 years, usually with no disclaimer. Should he be censored?
Broadcast television has much stronger legal standards than Facebook would ever consider, too.
- davidw 7y agoThis is why it's kind of tricky. I think most people get that comedy people do one thing and are ok with that as long as it's clearly labeled. Perhaps the president and people who work for him ought to be held to a different standard though?
- plugger 7y agoNo, because it's comedy. If people are getting what they consider "news" from late night comedy they don't understand the purpose of the show. I'd say the same thing about the Daily Show, Last Week Tonight, etc. They're not news, they're comedy shows that focus on current events. The larger elephant in the room are the news network opinion shows like Hannity and Carlson. These shows open with something to the effect of "this is just my opinion" but then spend the rest of the show speaking as everything they're saying is fact when in fact it's opinion and 100% not news.
