Political comedy and satire is not journalism Lyle. Taking the mickey out of journalists* every day does not make you a journalist.

*People who work at Fox News anyway.

Journalist - a person who writes for newspapers or magazines or prepares news to be broadcast on radio or television.

But what do you want to call him? Is he JUST a comedian? Is he a "humorist"? A "social commentator"? A "political pundit"?

I don't think he's JUST a comedian, but whatever I'm sure you'll think you're right whatever you decide
