News comes in a variety of ways and I watch “HLN News” almost every day. I chose to watch “The Colbert Report” for my blog this weekend. These two shows have a very different style of telling the news.
“The Colbert Report” is a newscast that is generated generally more towards young adults or someone that likes to hear the lighter side of the news. I enjoyed watching the Report for entertainment but it would not be my first choice when choosing a show to hear the news and details on stories.
Stephen Colbert who is on “The Colbert Report” has a very wide range of topics. I watched an episode that dealt with the poor in America and then it went to Google and what has done. He talked about the poor and joked around about how they would someday turn on the rich. I think that he has a fun and enthusiastic show but it does not have very many details in the reports. The show is successful in keeping people interested because of his remarks and high energy. The program may gain younger generations of interest therefore they will learn more about the country and world. Even if the show is not in great detail it is in enough detail to get the general idea.
The more straight forward type of news is the type I would rather watch when I want information. Yet “The Colbert Report” is something many can watch for enjoyment and to get a couple topics to think about.
I'm glad you enjoyed the program, Melissa. Programs such as The Colbert Report are definitely entertaining. It definitely shouldn't be the only form of news a person encounters though!
