Daily Show: fake and resolved is better than real and lazy—11:40 AM
'The Daily Show' wins news award [Lost Remote]
As much as I enjoy The Daily Show, this crosses the line.
I disagree (shock!). Stewart actually uncovers what's going on, and fearlessly exposes the misdirections and political ploys. Sure, he makes jokes in between, but the "news media" just spews random pulp in between their shabbily researched "reports," so what's the difference?
I have to agree with this one, though.
'Fair and balanced' sticks [Lost Remote]
Think of the far reaching limitations had the FTC ruled otherwise.
Exactly. This was a dumb one for MoveOn.org to go after. I mean, it's a cute idea to decry the use of "fair" or "balanced" with regard to anything Fox News does, but that joke's already been made. No reason to waste time in court over it.
