Spaniard here, why does American TV get the situation in Spain/Catalonia so wrong? That is if they even cover it, since most of them don't seem to care.

This is so one-sided, biased and ill-informed it hurts. Colbert gets several historical facts wrong and presents them in a way that leaves stuff out or distorts things, like how he claims that Catalonia was an independent country yet in the same sentence he accidentally admits it wasn't because he mentiones how it was part of the Kingdom or Aragon.
Also he quotes The Sun as a source for fucks sake.

Because that's what the alt-left does, truth isn't important to them

>admits it wasn't because he mentiones how it was part of the Kingdom or Aragon.
It was both

He couldn't even say Catalan properly.

B-but drumpf is a bad fascist...

HAIL!

b/c CBS doesn't want to pay for real research, shocking!

Nobody cares about the truth these days.

dude it's a comedy show

>mentions franco
>doesnt mention the commies and anarchists that were widespread in catalonia

Who can guess the bias?

How can you be both an independent country and part of a larger kingdom at the same time?
Catalonia was never its own nation.

>inb4 Condado de Barcelona

then why's he sitting there like the mclaughlin group. tell some jokes.

>Every night present a one sided hot take on politics, media, and society
>Get called out for it
>Dude it's a comedy show
Every single time.

That's not really relevant now is it?
Former then the other

well, is it or is it not?

why does he put on a posh english accent when he says "catalan"?

not really. it is a series of quips and infographics combined with one sided information.

It's as if you were in History 101 in college and you had to sit through powerpoint presentations from students who only read some of the book but think they are very very witty.

This rhetorical style is popular in American universities so it is popular with young people as this is how they think people argue an issue.

Essentially it is as if I had Rush Limbaugh but just put him up as a left-winger. For years the libs were looking for their Rush and they finally found him.

The analogy between the American Revolution and the current Catalan situation REALLY doesn't work.

>That's not really relevant now is it?

He makes Franco the baddie, because Franco killed commies and anarchists from that region. He doesnt mention the civil war and what political regime controlled that region.

Its as one sided as it gets.

Oh, wow, look at this entire board for talking about politics:

>information
what kind of dingus watches comedy shows to get information?

>20 posts
>MUH POL MUH POL

Americans want to see the downfall of the EU because it threatens their position of being the only world superpower
Same reasons they cheered on Brexit

Its an easy deflection to use when any time someone criticize them. The reality is people watch these hacks for more than entertainment.

It's shitty journalism masquerading as comedy.

oh no

He makes Franco the bad guy be mentioning that he killed people who wanted to separate.
>because Franco killed commies and anarchists from that region.
So you're saying that the separate movement was nothing but commies and anarchist? Not fucking likely
>He doesnt mention the civil war and what political regime controlled that region.
Because as mentioned before that's not really relevant

I'm pretty sure that Colbert wasn't for the downfall of the EU, and neither is the rest of the American left, they were all against Brexit. Being against the EU is more of a conservative thing.

It's on TV you fuckhead.

Why is the number of posts relevant? I am just stating that the appropriate place for this topic is Sup Forums because it is purely a political discussion. The thread was simply created on the wrong board.

>the leftist media machine actually promoting segregation based on nationalistic tendencies and culture

huh

So is the news, sports, religious ceremonies, etc.

>Because as mentioned before that's not really relevant

But mentioning that Spain is a "monarchy" is relevant?
How down are you willing to go just to confirm your own views?

So you want to discuss late night shows where exactly? How about Sup Forums?

It's because the commies are the ones wanting independence this time. Many right wingers in Catalonia are against independence.

As for Colbert, he's so frigging predictable.

Surprised John Oliver hasn't covered it yet. Unlike other talk show hosts he'll talk about issues and countries that aren't as well-known by his American audience all the time. Plus he's British, so he's bound to know a lot more about this topic since the British press has been covering it a lot.

Isn't there concrete evidence in those DNC leaked emails that Colbert is a shill? Fucking Christ.
I don't really know what the fuck is going on in Catalan either, I don't know shit about Spain.

The place where I have stated. The topic is political and/or historical therefore they go on either of those boards. If Colbert had an actor, director, or someone involved with the film industry as a guest and that was the topic of discussion, Sup Forums would be the place for it.

The monarchy part was just there to draw a parallel to the American Revolution

The independence movement in Catalonia is a mish-mash of left-wingers and right-wingers actually.

It's abundantly left wing with some right wingers, no doubt. Which is why I said
>Many right wingers in Catalonia are against independence.
As opposed to all.

You people always find a way to blame commies or people on the left.
>Many right wingers in Catalonia are against independence.
And you probably have more right wingers who are for it then against it.

alberto barbosa here
why are right wingers in Catalonya against independence? I don't really understand why there's a political division on this
only our leftard parties are for independence as well

John Oliver dosen't know shit. He's just another failed English comedian that think's he's an intellectual because American's buy up his stupid accent.

And the mention of Franco was there to portray the Catalonians as the ones oppressed, even though there is no connection between commies of those times and the problem of today.

Not even the majority of Catalans want independence, lmao. It's time to face the music, buddy.

nobody cares

But most of then want greater autonomy.

>capeshit goes to Sup Forums
>sports movies go to Sup Forums

He neglects to mention that those 8 people all actually broke the law so if they were left off the hook it would set a terrible precedent. Also, it's only 8 people, the vast majority of the politicians involved in the illegal referendum and shit are fine and still ranting to anyone who hears about how oppressed they are.
Not to mention that the President of Catalonia fleeing to Brussels is pretty cowardly. If he were a true believer he'd stay and face the music and act like a martyr to the cause.

The majority of New Englanders didn't want independence either. Since when has a majority opinion ever mattered?

>Expecting anything from amerifat shows
Ye dnot bother they are biggest trash in the world.

Since they are trying to get independence through democratic means. If less than 50% of your people attend a country defining vote like that, how could it ever be considered legitimate? Right now many of the Catalan officials are treasonous pigs.

>Colbert
>relevant
He’s not our media. He’s barely even watched. And yes, most American media are corporate globalist liars.

The kind of people who watch Colbert

Is he fucking retarded? Lol he compares with Franco. Did he new that the Spanish Socilist oarty supported Rajoy? Even the far left marxist Pablo Iglesias said that the independence was illegal.

>all current tv/movies are filled with leftist politics
>people hate it
>m-muh Sup Forums

>makes Franco the bad guy

Franco was a bad guy. Spain was fucked. Royally fucked by that man.

>President of Catalonia fleeing to Brussels is pretty cowardly. If he were a true believer he'd stay and face the music and act like a martyr to the cause.

That I don't like. He just fled and is the reason for all of this. Catalonia was in a time of prosperity for once and now he decides to do this? Did he think the entire European population would just support Catalonia and its stupid statehood ambitions? Insurrection is not looked on favourably by any governments.

The BBC has been very bias in its reporting of this story too, they act as if the entire Catalan population wants it, when I hear on other sources it's more like 45% and only 42% voted in the illegal referendum.

Every single one of the politicians in Spain is corrupt. Just look at what happened with Carrasco.

It’s a discussion about a tv show on Sup Forums

Hey, buddy! Don't expect
- An American
- late night entertainment show
to do a proper research on a news item.

Why they have their own language that is different from spanish?

>alt-left
that's not a thing, retard

>commies get a haven in Europe again
>they start funding communist terrorist groups South America again
white ppl pls stop

Because we want to look like we care but don't. Spain to America is Conquistadors, Sherry and Real Madrid.

>This is so one-sided, biased and ill-informed
That's how American "news" media reports on everything, especially American politics.
>gets several historical facts wrong and presents them in a way that leaves stuff out or distorts things
Yes, that's what they all do.
>Also he quotes The Sun as a source
Anything that supports the narrative, amigo

American television is the most frighteningly effective propaganda machine the world has ever seen. Never ask why it's inaccurate. It's not supposed to be accurate. It's supposed to tell you what the ultra-wealthy and powerful want you to think, regardless of reality.

You’re right, the mainstream left is extremist anti-white

Has a country ever been able to become independent through democracy? As we've seen with the delayed Brexit, democracy is pretty powerless I think.

Catalonian independence seekers are only treasonous because they haven't won yet. If they win, then they will be liberators.

Spain's a big country.

Also other regions have their own languages as well, reality is roughly 50% of them can speak Catalan but everyone can speak Spanish. The autonomy Spain gives to some regions leads to them pushing their language.

your watching fucking 2 scoop himself

GEE THANKS JANNY

jesus it's still Sup Forums related

Sup Forums can't risk people going poo poo on their electrical pacifier.
superficial critiques only!

Wikipedia says there was a war.

But then why is it not funny?

American TV is owned completely buy Jews. Everything on American Television is Propanda from the Jewish perspective.

Thats why americans in general dont want TV anymore. I haven't had cable in 6 years

This moron was notified 5 times this year from the law courts that he was doing something illegal, and he twitted a selfy with the notifications... what did he expect?

>Tell all people whith contrary beliefs to go to Sup Forums
>Wah why muh Sup Forums is such a popular board
>This must be everyone else fault but mine.

Alt-right wasn't a thing either until Hillary came up with it

Colbert is a clown and shouldnt be taken seriously, none of the liberal media should be taken seriously for that matter

>Has a country ever been able to become independent through democracy?
Singapore. Australia. Many US colonial possessions - Philippines (there was a war, they lost, we gave them independence years later), Micronesia, Marshall Islands, etc. A lot of British African possessions technically didn't fight for independence, they just got it. India never fought an actual war preferring civil disobedience.

You know the media lies.
Why would you watch/listen to them concerning anything?

Hey janitors did you delete the nigger porn first?

American comedy talk shows are pure propaganda, plain and simple.

Here in Greece all satire / comedy shows were (they're hardly any left nowadays because no money) completely impartial. They mocked both sides and spent their time coming up with funny scenarios instead of "spirited" monologues against gun activists / confederates / racists / republicans / evil people / whatever by their presenters. Most of them didn't have live audiences either, because they could actually make you laugh without canned laughter.

There was one SYRIZA shill a few years ago, similar to Colbert, and now he's hated by everyone.

There wasn't.

The prince of Brazil just decided to separate it from Portugal. I think the royal family over there knew what was going to happen, and it was better to control the independence and keep the power, not like in the rest of American countries.
