4. Definitely sad that comedy shows have more news than the 'news'.

Of course, the hosts/writers of these shows always have the 'satire' defense to fall back on when tRump decides to sue for something that was said/printed.

Most newspapers don't have the cash lying around to fight a tRump-initiated lawsuit, and TV/radio outlets would most likely want the issue settled without having their names being dragged through the mud for a prolonged period (as is Don the Con's usual M.O.). A comedy show can get some mileage out of it, while ridiculing the orange coward.
