And Trump starts crying (again) over late night comedians making fun of him.

Source: The Hill

Tweet 1:

Late Night host are dealing with the Democrats for their very "unfunny" & repetitive material, always anti-Trump! Should we get Equal Time?

Tweet 2:

More and more people are suggesting that Republicans (and me) should be given Equal Time on T.V. when you look at the one-sided coverage?

First off, WTF is Equal Time? Is it some government "libel law" he hinted at (which John Oliver revealed doesn't exist)?

Second off, ISN'T this supposed the anti-SJW president? Isn't how liberals apparently getting offended by everything (among a bunch of other things) "how he won?" Because listen to him now.

Again, say what you will about Obama. He never did this because he had BETTER things to do as the freaking president of the US.

Why do you think the creators of South Park refuse to target trump? Because they know their shitty edgelord anti-SJW audience are a bunch of hypocrites and they will freak the **** out the moment they do.

That’s the be all, end all of this. People who shit their pants constantly about how SJWs are ruining everything have absolutely no self awareness.

I’m not referring to people who sometimes get annoyed by “SJW antics “, I’m referring to the idiotic gamergate types who are constantly referring to people as cucks and who immediately go insane when it’s revealed that a prominent character in a movie or a game is a woman and/or something other than white.

Semi-related; did you the people crying over wolfenstein ii’s Marketing about making America Nazi-free again?

Why is he refering to himself in the third person in that first tweet?

Snowflake in Chief...........

"Equal Time".

Is he talking about the fairness doctrine? If so that makes no sense.

The president also seemed to be inferring that the equal time provision would apply to commentaries, like Jimmy Kimmel's monologues on health care. It is unclear how this would fall under equal time, since the rule is usually invoked when a candidate appears on the program or is granted some other form of free air time.

The Post also notes that under the Fairness Doctrine broadcasters had to let people know if they were under personal attack in a program and give them a chance to respond. In 1987, President Reagan signed an executive order revoking the doctrine, leading to an explosion of partisan TV and radio programs.

Is he just talking about coverage? Maybe if nearly every single Conservative Based comedy show didn't flop. Capitalism Don', Capitalism. Perhaps start with making a Conservative Comedy show that people actually want to watch?

Oh and Trump just opened himself hard, these comedians are going to call him out on this and ask him to appear on their shows to give him "equal time".

Idiot.

I wonder what would happen if all the comedians/talk shows/etc ignored Trump for a month. I mean, full-on ignored. Just pretended he didn't exist. There is a lot of stuff to cover out there (just need to dig a little harder) and I bet viewers would be thankful for the break.

As for Equal Time, no idea wtf that is. Maybe something to do with Trump TV or whatever the hell he was selling a short while ago.

equal time has to do with giving political candidates equal opportunity for broadcast time on TV and radio

Do you legit think Trump gives a shit about this stuff? He's keeping his base energized, and opponents irrationally pissed at him. Twitter is a performance art for this president; a smoke bomb. The media pretends that his base hates his tweets, but they love it. The best thing the media could do to hurt this president is ignore his twitter, but too many people get paid to over analyze his shitposts.

ah, OK. But he isn't a candidate, he is a President. So not relevant, right?

Maybe he is talking about fairness.

it's not relevant to this either way. And the fairness doctrine no longer exists

@PraetorianMan:

What are you talking about? South Park literally had Donald Trump get raped to death by Mr. Garison!

Trump is a scumbag. It's amazing that anyone even pays attention to him.

It's funny because the people who cry the hardest about biased media are the same people who don't want things like the Fairness Doctrine to come back. Because they expect equal treatment on channels they don't like, but at the same time they also want to keep their echo chambers/indoctrination mediums running at 100% efficiency.

also great seeing these people preach about how the Free Market/Capitalism can solve every single problem you throw at it (it's best for most things, obviously, but there are a few places where it needs to be dialed back.

Except when it comes to the media. Then it's all about how they put too much emphasis on clickbaiting people and making money through oversensationalism.

OMFG CAPITALISM FUCKING SUCKS NOW.

Yeah, that's why NPR, PBS and BBC are some of the better places to get less sensationalized news. They don't rely so heavily on a profit motive like Fox/CNN or MSNBC.

trump is very easily to make fun of. he does have a peanut for a brain

What are you talking about? They go after EVERYONE. The creators give two shits about who gets offended, and as another poster said, they did go after Trump....several times lol.

Yes trump does care. He's immature and can't handle criticism or being laughed at. As for his tweets I have seen no media say his base hates it.

Our president is a thin skinned racist who loves dishing out criticism, but has a hissy fit when he gets any back. Thanks Republicans.

Canadian Donald Trump was raped to death in the show, and season 20 was about how awful Trump is as a candidate and that you should vote for Hillary. :/

@93BlackHawk93: @nepu7supastar7: @SOedipus:

Yes, all of that was before this year when this statement was made:

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/02/south-parks-creators-are-giving-up-on-satirizing-trump/515616/

Their reasoning in the article seems sound enough, but in all likelihood another very large factor into this is that the creators know who most of their core audience is, and they know hypocrisy is a sharp blade that cuts in more than one direction.

What are you saying exactly? That most of the South Park audience are anti-SJW, as you previously wrote? You have evidence to back that up, because that's quite a reach. And IF that's the case, then so what? Anti-SJW≠alt-right/nazi/Trump supporters/racist/so on.

Also there was an episode after the date of the article and guess what? They made fun of Trump. It just seems so off-topic and irrelevant to bring up.

Sorta have to with the role he currently has.

@Serraph105: Racist huh? Please go ahead and explain how he's Racist.

@PraetorianMan:

If their core audience is anti-sjw/Trump supporters then they're awful at trying to appease to them. The majority of their recent episodes are making fun of alt-righters and hardcore Republicans. Look at the most recent episode: "White People Renovating Houses."

In it; Randy Marsh is obsessed with fixing houses while all the hardcore rednecks are fighting about losing their jobs to minorities. If you saw it then you'd remember the obvious subliminal message Randy gave to one of the rednecks dressed to the nines as a human PDA. "What kinda job did you think you were going to get?" "In order to move forward from your troubles, you need to tear down these walls that divide the kitchen from the rest of the house." And redneck told him that he can't because he was told that it was a vital part of the structural integrity that keeps the floor above intact.

They were yelling, "You will not replace us." while the other white guys were saying, "Every time you say shit like this while waving around the American flag, you make the rest of us all look stupid!" This was pretty clear about how anti-alt Right South Park really is. I don't know how anyone else would think otherwise.

Say what you will but considered the media landscape is filled with liberal comedians, a good bet is that Obama did not need to "worry" about this since they would kiss his ass more than make jokes.

Except Stewart who at least attacked both sides.

But who cares and Trump should just stfu and run the country and not worry about what some irrelevant comedian says with less than 0.33% of the 18-49 demographic.

That is actually not true South Park showed how horrible both the candidates was , remember "a giant douche and a turd"

While some may have said the lesser evil is Hilary , South Park let that be up to the viewer.

Well, considering he's making these tweets and responses in the first place. YES!

No thanks, Trump has given plenty of examples of his racist attitude throughout his campaign and his time as president. If you can't realize it for yourself then nothing I say is going to convince you or get you to pay attention.

Did you watch the same season I did? They presented Hillary as a bad candidate but Trump as much worse.

Not really, you're actually citing two different stories, the whole DvT thing was mentioned like once in those episodes. When it came to the Trump story is was mostly him being the idiot Trump is, then surprised he was elected by voters to represent the GOP and then he felt over his head and begged everyone to not vote for him because he had no idea what he was doing. Obviously they also poked fun at Hillary and her inability to overcome the worst presidential candidate we've ever had, but i think it was pretty clear what they were saying about Trump and how unique the situation was.

I dont think their view on it being a douche vs turd changed, but they were definitely very clear when conveying that Trump was a uniquely horrible candidate that no sane person should support.

News agencies pretty much cover him all day, he's constantly the center if attention. If he wants to provide counter-balance then he needs to create a sound and reasoned stance for his agenda that can withstand public scrutiny, but he can't even do that, just that he same old "it will be tremendous, you'll see, next question, NEXT QUESTION, no not you, you're fake news".

As i said it was left up to the viewer and what you saw is not what someone else saw.

Not sure why you are trying to convince me your opinion is more than your opinion.

South Park made both candidates seem moronic and stupid and as terrible choices.
