The new Daily Show host, criticised for tweeting unfunny jokes, has been defended by many, including his new employers
Trevor Noah, the South African comic who was recently announced as Jon Stewart's replacement to host the satirical American talk show, The Daily Show, has been supported by his new employers after old, and distinctly unfunny, tweets from years before came to light.
... journalists have also supported Noah. Caitlin Dewey at The Washington Post wrote: "Six tweets, out of almost 9,000?! That’s not exactly a representative sample."
Dewey and other writers cited Jon Ronson's recent, and much-acclaimed book, So You've Been Publicly Shamed in which Ronson interviewed people whose lives had been ruined by so-called "twitchfork" campaigns online.

I honestly haven’t even passed by that channel in a couple of years, ever since the last episode of Futurama played out.
The female Jew producer was on MSNBC yesterday and when Tamron Hall asked her about him. Her answer was “thank goodness he isn’t white.”
I’m sick of the fake outrage by the left when it comes to homosexuals and to see drama queens like Chris Cuomo on CNN{only could watch for 3 minutes} while the left shows their hatred, bigotry, and hate and not a frigging peep of pressure form the lying, biased , corrupt media
Of course, blacks and homosexuals can display their hated, bigotry openly, hell blacks are now beating up whites for fun and the prosecutor in St Louis said it’s not a hate crime due to the races need to come together.
I’ve seen a fair amount of his material. I think he’s pretty funny.
Like Obama, he is a black racist. Stewart was a jerk and this idiot looks even worse.

Meanwhile......
Paula Deen is ruined.
Imus was nearly ruined.
Danny Ferry, GM of Atlanta Hawks, nearly ruined.
All for making “just a couple” indiscreet comments.
The OUTRAGE card is getting old. Stop responding to it. Or challenge it.
Apple actively seeks to market products in Saudi Arabia where a gay man was recently sentenced to 450 lashes for being gay. Where is the OUTRAGE from Apple and it’s Gay CEO?
6 tweets out of 9000? If he was conservative, a single tweet would have been enough to seal his fate.
“6 tweets out of 9000? If he was conservative, a single tweet would have been enough to seal his fate.”
Absolutely absurd statistic anyway. If I shot someone would it matter how many rounds I’d fired in my lifetime?
Imagine six tweets calling homosexuals “fags” or suggesting that Obama’s race makes him inherently unfit to be president. Then would the number be “insignificant,” or would the issue be the content?
More liberal hypocrisy.
Didn’t something like 6 emails out of 100s of thousands involving a police force of 14 with probably 3 times that of support staff, retired, and transferred personnel over the course of 10 years indict the Ferguson police force
In diversity hate studies each tribe targets whites and Jews. Leftists are sick puppies.
Bill Handel from KFI640 am radio with 2 of his co-hosts also defended Trever Noah over antisemitic and other bigoted and lying tweets. Bill is a big liberal that sees nothing wrong with liberals committing criminals acts so this is nothing to him.
