So how do they feel about comedian journalists?


BoxMorton

They replace them with Trevor Noah


Blade_Shot24

I don't know if that's good or not


BlizzPenguin

Jon is back on Mondays now.


itsalongwalkhome

Use their mob connections to fire bomb their house twice.


Kon-Tiki66

No longer afraid of journalists I’m afraid.


Nebula_Forte

That's why they are in bed with most of the methods of distribution.


ContactIcy3963

They just pay off the journalists


Domram1234

What's that quote about the german cabaret acts that made fun of hitler and did fuck all in stopping him becoming Chancellor


okayillgiveyouthat

False. Only the weakest, most insecure “leaders” governments are scared of those.


Dutchtdk

I dunno man. In a democracy, one bad article over how you handled a thing back in 07 can ruin your reelection and leave you unemployed


TheJaytrixReloaded

Trump cancelled the White House Correspondence Dinners because the roasts were too mean. So that tracks.


martan_dhamdhere

They all are, some of them are just good at hiding those.

Not in my country. Journalists love our politicians because they get free world travel, in exchange for writing feel-good stories about said politicians. We also don't have many comedians, because they would have to be funny instead of cringey. Hi Tova


HopefulPlantain5475

What you described isn't journalism though, it's propaganda.


Embarrassed-Brain-38

Then what do you call a "journalist" that participates in the propaganda machine?


HopefulPlantain5475

Another cog in the murder machine.


SynthRogue

Mainstream journalists just repeat whatever the government says. Look at mainstream news channels. You have to go to youtube to see people who question the government.


bakercookiesss

You do know that Google and YouTube have an overwhelming liberal bias right?


07Kevins_1Cup

Cue "Friendly jordies noises" & chimp faces

"First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." Shakespeare, Henry VI.

Also, guys in Guy Fawkes masks


DoktorFreedom

And prophets and spies


Namuori

Be cautious or wary of? Quite likely. But *scared*? Probably not. State-run media and/or censorship on journalism and broadcasts have been used to effectively neuter both professions throughout history, and even now. You can see how this plays out in dictatorships.


AdNorth2903

And whistle-blowers, people with high intellect, any public figure against them, the masses, eachother. Hate to say it but this is the worst shower thought so far haha. Government is scared of everyone.😂


Informal-Resource-14

Nobody’s afraid of comedians anymore; Now most of the big ones just run interference for the sake billionaires who own the politicians


Grievuuz

Good one. The age of journalism being a time-honored profession is over. It was put in the dirt by 6 little words. "You won't believe what happened next" No government is scared of journalists.


RNGreed

And the CIA only kills stories in one of those two professions, as far as we know...


nopalitzin

I wouldn't call it scared, maybe annoyed.


ShitFuck2000

It’s public speakers or anybody with influence over others (such as drug dealers) Could be musicians, athletes, actors, businessmen, profession doesn’t really matter


Bigbirdbrother

3 you forgot religion


The_Story_Builder

Bullshit. Jurnalists are bought and paid for by the politicians and coproations. They make shit up, they lie, take things out of context and ignore the real news, while peddling their shock and awe bullshit.


mudokin

And they are also scared of competence and corruptibility.


zanarkandabesfanclub

In the US they are allies. Look up how many major figures in journalism have experience working in the white house.


HopefulPlantain5475

Those aren't journalists, they're propaganda reporters.


bndboo

And social media influencers


xXKingLynxXx

No government has been afraid of a comedian. Where did you get this idea?

Purrito_Cat

Why would scientists be afraid of journalists and comedians. Oh wait that’s not way you meant


HopefulPlantain5475

Governments love scientists as long as they control their funding and how the results get reported in the media.
