It was amazing watching the world's reaction to the default hostage situation. Inside the U.S., you have the same old 50/50 false equivalency where they'd show the Dem guy and then the TP moron and then just leave it at that.

I don't know if some just don't want to hear the whole story, or are afraid to hear the whole story.

That's probably why it's found on a comedy show, because news today is comedy, not news.
