Talk Show 3

http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/mon-march-26-2012-shaquille-o-neal

    This political comedy mainly focuses on the shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida in February. The show makes fun of the justice system and its failure to really arrest George Zimmerman. He then goes on to mock and ridicule the large number of people who took part in the million hoodie day thing they had in honor of  Trayvon Martin and to serve as a way of showing respect to his family. Jon Stewart then went on to address how the black panther has a bounty on Zimmerman's head for $10,000. He satirizes the thing whole deal by stating that anyone who fails to wear a hoodie is a racist. Lastly he addresses how the clothing is supposedly the blame and satirizes it even more by saying it was the hoodie, the candy, and the fact that he was black that got him killed. I think Jon is pretty neutral when it comes to the issue. Of course he blames Zimmerman, but i don't necessarily think he is a great advocate of the issue.
