Why?
He says he is a comedy show all of the time. He makes fun of the news. Even he says he is not a credible news source. His job is to play the role of a reporter and make fun of the format that is popular on the other channels.
It is not his fault that he often gives more accurate news coverage than real news outlets. It really just shows how fed up the younger generations are with real news sources that they feel better off getting their news from comedians and then looking up the issues themselves that really interest them. Not being a real journalist nor news show he can poke fun at whatever he wants. He also has the younger generations so tuned in that real politicians and other people actually show up to be interviewed on his comedy show, knowing that he will ask almost anything and it is in front of a live audience to boot.
