[Edit]beaten^^ Looks like Trevor Noah was still wrong well after that bad comedy bit. The fact that he can be so ignorant of the topic and still maintain his status as a current affairs comedian is insane. https://twitter.com/That_Edward/status/904487548260679680

precision posted:This isn't gonna go well for Trevor. It's going to be just fine for him, he's insulated by a network that need to preserve the show's image. They already deleted the video and other problematic tweets, I doubt this one is getting a lot of play online, and anybody who points this poo poo out will get called a racist.

The guy was peddling the same false narrative about it as late as last year. This isn't some "he didn't have all the facts at the time" issue. Noah has shown that he has absolutely terrible instincts and lacks any interesting insights on politics and it's insane that he is given an uncritical platform to push them. If it was just this one issue, it wouldn't be nearly as bad, but he can't seem to do either aspect of his job title of political comedian successfully. Sam Bee sharing the stage with right-wingers and pushing Glenn Beck as a rehabilitated conservative in addition to her NIMBY attitudes on school integration very easily place her in the neoliberal shill world, and criticizing her as such isn't an insane prospect considering that the basis of her humor is indignation against backwards ideologies.
