Response to Nick's blog

I do like the point that John is using comedy as a way to make people listen, which shows that comedy can not only make people laugh but also gathers people attention about something serious.

Sometimes, I questioned the way the social media filter the information, should they pick the ones interested to audiences or the ones really matter to the society but maybe less attractive to viewers. Considering the audience rating, if they pick the ones that more attractive to audiences, they may gain a lot of economic benefit by ignoring the truly important dull information. However, after watching this show, I know we do have a way to spread news without decreasing its audience rating, which is using comedy. In my opinion, the charm of this show is that it uses comedy as a tool to attract more people, including the audiences who care less but just like John Stewart, to see the news. John can make news became lively and easy to understand, just like watching cartoon. In this way, people can not only learn the new but also have a good time, just like learning while playing. If this strategy is used properly, news will not be too dull to watch, and the process to view news will become meaningful and benevolent to society.
