zero: he's "real" enough for the president of Pakistan to visit. Btw, Comedy Central is owned by Viacom.

sure, he's real for tv. but he can be dismissed for not being a real newsperson because he's not; regardless of how astute he is. ok, viacom!

larry king said that fox is an arm of the republican party and that's ok with him. conservatives want to believe that the rest of the media is liberal. the issue seems to be that people see what they will and believe what they want to believe, which leads them to follow that which reinforces what they want to hear. if people don't like what j.s. has to say, they dismiss him as fake news. if they like him, they watch everyday. it doesn't change.
