Media: Newstainment

I  believe that Newstainment can be a positive trend for both sides of the political spectrum because it provides information from a bias point of view, it is very funny, and the info is mainly fact based. First off, just because a show is funny does not mean you can not learn anything from it, in fact you can learn a lot from these shows. But there is a catch, the information you get from these shows is mainly from a bias that is loyal to either the right or the left side of the political spectrum. So if you are a part of the republican party you can watch the O'Reilly Factor or the Colbert Report and if your a democrat you can watch the Daily Show or the Rachel Maddow Show. But two shows are particular funny and there's one for each side, the Colbert Report and the Daily Show are both very very funny, they base there jokes off of current political news so you still can learn and laugh at the same time. So a lot of teenagers watch these two shows mainly because there funny but this can be there first main exposure to politics. And lastly the information is mainly true on all shows it just depends on how the show portrays, whether its good or bad. Because good news for the democrats and possibly mean bad news for the republicans and the opposite. So all in all I believe Newstainment is good because they provide info, they are funny, and they are mainly factual.
