Political science
Political media is seen as a source of comedy and fake news from the politicians. The Daily Show has a large following due to the content concerning politics being aired. The Onion is a news satire website that commands a number of people. The media plays a very important role by identifying politicians and the latest political trends. Fake news tends to help those who greed for power sabotaging and hindering the transparency of politics (Stange, 2006). With fake news, the wrong impression is given out the people resulting in poor decisions being made.
The shows are filled with political information that one is willing to share in order to gain a following and have a competitive advantage over others. The shows in order to get a joke in the show one have to be aware of the political trend at the time. In the present day audience follow politics are they follow celebrities and sports in order to get the inside joke (Jaime, 2008). The daily show is more politically acknowledged by the views since it is able to big the most influential people on the show and discuss on various issues (Jaime, 2008). Jon Stewart can only be seen as a political mentor to those who do not pay keen attention to politics but he is seen to be a corruptor of the youth in his role. Trevor Noah can change the trend by shedding more light during the show to assist the youths.
Jonathan Haidt discussed the moral roots of liberals and conservatives in order to give a greater insight of politics and the government. It is true to say that Haidt addressed the moral roots of why people feel differently but a lot can be done to make the moral values more effective (Haidt, 2008). The moral impulse cannot be described as fully complete since an educational step of the moral impulse should be considered. Haidt's research can be used to bridge the political divide so that a clear understanding can be established through other incentives have to be pulled together to make it a success (Jacobs, 2009).
