Imran Khan Visit to America Ignored by Late night shows ?

[denel]

As you guys have noticed that Late night shows has become a very vocal voice in American and World Politics and they cover almost everything from Politics to Sports , specially news that include Trump . Every time Trump say something racist or dumb they are all over trump or republicans but I can't help but notice that not even a single Hosts from these late night shows has cover Trump Imran Khan meeting ? Why ? I understand Trevor Noah because his show is full of Indians so I doubt he would cover the story and even if he did that will be negative . But I hear nothing from Stephen Colbert , Samantha Bee , John Oliver etc ? There was no Mainstream media coverage except Fox I guess , CNN and MSNBC were weirdly quite about it ? Even when Trump has said something cringe-worthy about Afghanistan .

What would be the reason for them to completely ignore the meeting, which discussed a lot of important things like Afghanistan and War on Terror , Was it on purpose or just a Eh Attitude of these corespondents towards Pakistan, I remember almost everyone of these hosts are quick to mention Pakistan every time a Bad news comes out of it , but this whole Trip of our Democratically elected PM was gone unnoticed ?

This is how Trevor Noah Describe PM Imran Khan when he was elected ..

and this is how he cover recent Skirmish of Pakistan and India, where later he Apologize to Indians for his satire , So What happened to Freedom of Expression ? What happened to using Satire ?

Trevor Noah apology ..

Do you like him because he is from S.Africa or because of his non existing talent and neutrality ?

IK's US-visit just didn't get the press from MSM, let alone from late-night talk show hosts. He doesn't have the name recognition compared to other leaders.

IK should've of done what Musharraf did and visit the Daily Show.

neither did Musarraf , I think the reason these media outlets ignored this meeting was because of Indian Lobby. and Trust me IK was more famous than your Modi, IK was famous because of what he achieved , Modi was famous for been a butcher who got banned from US . the only reason today world give two hoot for Modi is because he is PM of a rich/dumb country who everyone wants to milk .

Nothing to do with Pakistan or IK at all. Rather, it's because coverage would have required painting Trump favorably, so the liberal MSM and its late-night comedy division opted to ignore IK's visit as much as possible.

I enjoy talent when I see it , he has said many things in past which was offensive , and he is not doing a wonderful job at daily show . Jon Stewart was legend and a pure talent .
He was forced to apologise to Indians for his part .

Well if I agree with you so mean to say that US MSM will ignore anything positive about Trump' ? Even if it means something beneficial about America ? ( Afghanistan )

Trevor Noah hurt a typical Indian internet warrior crowd badly when he made a satirical joke on our limited air war
the main hurt was the the way the program was played out with Indian air losses to Pakistan and then Trevor making some mild Bollywood remarks on the conflicts.
the Indians went mad and made very crude 911 and anti American remarks that are still there on youtube without realizing that the guy is actually South African.

we Pakistanis are used to ridicule and hate all the time and take it on the chin and Indians play big part in our bad publicity but when on remote occasions the tables are turned on them then a certain crowd of Indians exhibit the worse cry baby butthurt which results in further ridicule.
the guy had to apologize and explain himself but he didnt have to. I recall Pakistanis asking him on youtube to keep the jokes on Pakistan because they like him and willing to take his jokes because he is not hateful and genuinely funny

Why ? [emoji32]

The visit was between governments and leaders. The important factor was building that rapport with them, not going on comedy central for a few jokes.

Oh yes. To paraphrase another American politician, if Trump stepped out onto the Potomac River and walked on water the MSM talking heads would scream, "Trump can't swim!"

You answered your own question with the last sentence. If Modi is more popular because he’s leader of a ‘rich/dumb’ country than what is IK, a leader of a ‘poor/dumb’ country?

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

IK is well known in UK more than US. Just wait when he will visit UK on official visit.

IK is much more than PM of Pakistan, as i mentioned he is a successful Sportsmen , Celebrity and very well connected in Political Elite around the world .. Who was modi ? and what was Modi famous for before he took the office ???

Oh yes. To paraphrase another American politician, if Trump stepped out onto the Potomac River and walked on water the MSM talking heads would scream, "Trump can't swim!"

LOL, when in that case Trump have my sympathy but the man deserve credit , and if he does bring a Peaceful solution for Afghanistan with the help of Pakistan and allies, he will become the most popular President in recent Times .

Bush #1 successfully kicked Saddam out of Kuwait in 1991 yet was still defeated in the next year's election. Winning a war (or winning a peace) is no guarantee of re-election for an American president.

My point is that lack of MSM coverage does not mean that IK's visit was not a success. By most accounts his interaction with Trump improved the atmosphere between the two countries. The main exception, according to the MSM, was press freedom, which IK deflected:

But you gotta give it to trump , he is far more vocal about even the tiniest success he gets, so if he gets to solve Afghanistan, he will have the boost he needs , Remember Obama he was failing in election for his second term and than OBL happened and boom goes his popularity .
IK was right there is no banning of Media or anything , the thing is just like America Pakistani media is divided into two sections , one is pro Govt and other is Pro India . So Media orgs like Geo and Express will somehow turn everything into Medic blackout, When every Journalist in Pakistan one way or another throw shit at Army , ISI , Govt and Judges without any repercussion. But as IK said, when we ask these Media houses , how much tax you pay, how these so called Journalists have huge mansions in most expensive places in Pakistan ? how they got those luxury cars so they say, " Media black out " etc .
