The Daily Show


  When Malaysia airlines went missing The Daily Show antagonized how awful these news reports are saying about the airline going missing. Jon Stewart uses satirical techniques in his set. He criticizes how CNN and Fox news are not even talking about the airline going missing, how the airline went missing, and what may have caused the airplane to go missing. All CNN and Fox are talking about are black holes and the Bermuda Triangle. What these newscasts are talking about has nothing to do with the topic and it does not even relate to Flight 370 disappearing. CNN also had a whole new segment about how airplanes are built and how many inches the airplanes are. Jon is irritated about this and is making fun of them because he does not understand why they are not talking about the important topic. These newscasts do not even want to inform, all they want to do is scare people. Jon in his show uses exaggeration, incongruity, and parody. This is effective because people do actually see what newscasts do to actually waste time on the air. Instead of talking about the importance of the topic, they talk about unrelated topics. CNN thinks that this airplane has been lost in a “black hole”, or did not survive the flight through the “Bermuda Triangle”. Jon does actually show frustration because he does not understand what these people in the newscast say. He wants these newscasts to be real and to the point. He does not like how they are not talking about the real problem.
