Just Business

So, CNN has a new comedy news show hosted by D.L. Hugley, and I must admit it is pretty funny, but some may ask what place does a show you would expect to see on Comedy Central have on CNN? CNN is supposed to be a news network where one can tune into and find out whats going on in the world, but what are you supposed to think when you turn to it and see a stand up comedian with his own show? Personally, I look at it two ways. First, while CNN is a news network, it is also a business that wants to make money, and with the popularity shows such as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report up so high, it would be insane for a business to miss out on grabbing its slice of the pie. After all, it is a business. Secondly, haven't we seen a rise in the interest of young adults in politics because of this satirical look at the worlds events today? This has seemed to be an effective way to catch the interest of young Americans while also increasing the number and range of viewers. CNN has made a smart move in creating this show, and I think we can expect to see a continued rise in the interest young people have taken towards politics and the world in general.
