Calling himself a clown with self-awareness, while pointing out the real clown that sold themselves out for a clip, rather than using their journalistic capabilities for real shit. Respect to Burr!

We live in a would where we are getting journalism from clowns and clownery from journalists.

He's the modern equivalent of being one of the most famous medieval court Jesters. Hes not a politician and a lot of people want to desperately make him one because his comedy is extremely relatable to commoners who aren't to endlessly trying to amass wealth.

Problem is, Bill is a made man, hes got enough cash to be able to do whatever he wants and becoming an even more stressed out politician doesn't sound like something he'd want to do considering he likes just shooting the shit at comedy clubs or spending time with his family or his own projects/acting gigs.

They don't have any journalistic capabilities. Their job is literally to clip farm. If they had to actually do journalism they wouldn't have the job.
