Trevor Noah smacks down Bernie Sanders’ fans: “Online doesn’t count”

[RandySF]

“Daily Show” host Trevor Noah had a chuckle over the media and the internet’s disagreement over who won the Democratic debate.

He pointed out that, according to CNN’s first poll since the debate, Hillary Clinton was declared to be the “clear winner,” and “ruled the stage” by 62 percent. Simultaneously, numerous other CNN talk show hosts claimed that Bernie Sanders had won “hands down” online.

Apparently Sanders was the most Tweeted, Facebooked, and Google-searched Democratic candidate of the night, proving particularly popular with millennials.

But as Noah saliently pointed out: “The Internet is saying that Bernie Sanders won the debate and the media is saying, ‘sorry, the Internet doesn’t apply here.’ It’s sort of the same reason your geeky cousin is still a virgin: online doesn’t count.”

1. I wonder if everyone on line here is a virgin?

Thanks for the thread, RandySF.

2. I would have a helluva lot more money right now if I was.

3. Same here, this is more corporate media propaganda along the lines of calling everyone

on Facebook "kids" four times within 21 seconds.

The corporate media isn't just stereotyping or attacking an inanimate object whey they attack the Internet, they're attacking the American People, we started the Internet.

5. Isn't Facebook worth ten times that of CNN.

By "corporate," which corporation are you trusting? I believe one of the corporate entities you mention is absolutely dwarfed by the other.

[Uncle Joe]

7. Facebook might be but the people on FaceBook are individuals in mass numbers, media pundits on the

other hand might number in the hundreds and they get paid by their corporate masters, the American People on Facebook don't...I haven't received a check yet anyway and I don't anyone else that has.

9. I do ads on Facebook.

It seems you don't understand how much control of flow and moment they have. Their influence is huge. It's actually very impressive.

[Uncle Joe]

12. I know that individuals voting in real time while watching a debate are a better barometer of the

peoples' thinking than polls held two-three days after the debate and corporate media heavily edited, saturation coverage promoting their narrow interpretation.

The corporate media and its pundits have an inherent conflict of interest.

13. My two kids should prove that I am not.

I know. That's probably not scientific enough.

4. Aaaah

Punching down when it's 'ok' to. Trevors running hot for me, I've been digging it, but there are times (the joke cribbed from chapelle, this, some of his more misogynist humor) where I wince.

6. Who?

Unfunny misogynist says what?

8. Good thing his studio is close to the Port Authority Bus Terminal...

10. What did the 5 fingers say to the face?

SLAP!!!

LOL

11. This is a PG 13 post

It reminds me of the old saw that ten inches on the internet is five inches in real life.

14. Insider network paid pundits' opinions do not "count" either

Especially when the corporate owner is a major donor of the so-called winner.

Naturally, CNN’s parent company is one of Hillary Clinton’s biggest donors

If you watched the first Democrat Presidential debate last night on CNN, it was plainly obvious that the head honchos did their level best to make it the Hillary Clinton show. The main moderator, Anderson Cooper, used to be a member of the Clinton Global Initiative; and he couldn’t wait to interrupt each of the other candidates so that he could get back to whatever Hillary Clinton wanted to say. Clinton was front and center on the stage, and it wasn’t by accident.

The speaking times for each of the candidates was predictably lopsided, with Clinton getting double the speaking time of some of the other candidates

There's a big difference between a winner and a usurper.

15. I have been pleased with the new Daily Show and with Trevor Noah

The bit last night was well done

16. Any poll that doesn't show Bernie winning

Is obviously manipulated by corporatist third wayer neo liberal DINOs
