"Honesty" requires a precise identification of the joke's "victim."

GTFOH

Not ''honesty'' intent.
Save the misrepresenting for your clients.

i think trump goes too far when he calls the media "the enemy of the people"

"an" enemy is completely fair and appropriate, but "the" enemy is nonsense

It's unfortunate. Trump has said and shown that he will return respect he is given. Lyin Ted became beautiful Ted. If the media stopped what they started, it could get better.

There we have the crux of the matter.
Trump hates the media because they criticise him. If only they'd stop criticising him it could get better.

Meanwhile free speech warriors demand the right to tell ''ethnic'' jokes.

I think you have to look for the joke's victim to find the intent.

Now jokes have to have a victim?

Again, just talking about these two jokes.

If people could stop putting words in my mouth I'd appreciate it.

Talk about misrepresenting. They have gone so far beyond criticizing him. It is obvious to everyone that their intent is to make him look bad. They hate him and it shows. He calls them out on it and they all squeal about it.

You're posts are becoming as dishonest as the media.

Just F-off. Those were your exact words. OK, Mr. Semantics, why do these jokes need a victim? And why just these jokes? Are getting tired from dragging those goalposts all over?

Not all jokes have a victim, both of the jokes in question do.

Script Opposition (SO) references the script opposition included in Raskin's SSTH. This includes, among others, themes such as real (unreal), actual (non-actual), normal (abnormal), possible (impossible).

Logical Mechanism (LM) refers to the mechanism which connects the different scripts in the joke. These can range from a simple verbal technique like a pun to more complex LMs such as faulty logic or false analogies.

Situation (SI) can include objects, activities, instruments, props needed to tell the story.

Target (TA) identifies the actor(s) who become the "butt" of the joke. This labelling serves to develop and solidify stereotypes of ethnic groups, professions, etc.

Narrative strategy (NS) addresses the narrative format of the joke, as either a simple narrative, a dialogue, or a riddle. It attempts to classify the different genres and subgenres of verbal humour. In a subsequent study Attardo expands the NS to include oral and printed humorous narratives of any length, not just jokes.[76]

Language (LA) "…contains all the information necessary for the verbalization of a text. It is responsible for the exact wording …and for the placement of the functional elements."[77]
