The Daily Show Just Trolled President Trump’s Latest Twitter Rant—And We Love It

With a nod to how movie studios campaign for Oscars with full-page ads in entertainment industry newspapers like Variety, the Comedy Central news-and-politics-skewering institution similarly took out ads, actively seeking out a “Most Dishonest & Corrupt Media Award of the Year.”

Whereas a movie-boosting ad would contain plaudits from critics, the Daily Show ad includes quotes that savage the show and deride it as a tool of the left.

“Political propaganda disguised as entertainment.” — Breitbart News

“Trevor Noah is an anti-Trump hack.” — The Rebel Media

“Monotonous…liberal dogma.” — The New York Post

It ended with a final pitch of, “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah: So fake, even this ad isn’t real.”

Comedy Central’s Trump-baiting “For Your Consideration” ad appeared as a full-page ad in the New York Times on Friday. Twitter was delighted.
