obviously a news show isn't going to feel the same rewatching it. that's not the point lol.

that would be like saying it's dumb to preserve newspapers in libraries because it's not going to feel as good rereading the "Hitler is dead" headline. people don't look at old news to have a good time.

boy was it silly of us to preserve that kind of thing and it totally never comes in handy/s

that's not even what people are upset about anyway. comedy Central mostly makes entertainment programming that isn't news based and can still be enjoyed whenever. believe it or not, comedy Central has a lot of content that will stand the test of time. especially when looking at their stand-up catalogue.

this is the destruction of a library. a digital one, but a library none the less. that's what people are mad about.

but you're right. we should just dump all of our old movies and shows. they're worthless moldy junk anyway... 🙄
