I think you're confusing a couple of things, Ras. JD doesn't, and never has, pretended to be a journalist. He makes it quite explicit when he says (as he often does) "a stand-up comic like me from my garage can do a better job at pointing out stuff like (whatever he's on about) than so-called commentators and journalists." It's JD's schtick that he's an ordinary joe with no special talents or knowledge and yet he can do a better job than 99% of the highly paid "professionals" -- and of course he can and does. He would never claim to be on GG's level as a journalist, and I've never heard him do so. Additionally of course he uses humour and satire and sarcasm to make his points whereas GG is not known for his sense of humour.
