MODERATORS
And I showed you that, based on the Daily Show producers who get metrics, that they do.
You should know better than to rely on your own personal anecdotal evidence in a skeptic community.
You showed no such thing. No such thing was remotely claimed in that interview.
Meanwhile, you're asking me to prove a negative, while offering no evidence to support your own position besides the fact that yourself and apparently one other commenter here regard The Daily Show as a credible news source, or expect me to believe such. I'm not buying it, and I'm done engaging with your non-sense.
I'm not the one spouting bunk conspiracy theories about how the wrong guest on The Daily Show will hinder society or discredit more decent guests. Calling those slightly more respectable people out on their bullshit is the point of inviting them on the show alongside the overt crackpots in the first place.
And now you're lying. My whole argument is that it isn't credible, but some people think it is.
We're done here.
