Its a strange world we live in when we get our news from Comedy Central and
our laughs from Fox News.

Stewart was actually better informed and the research was better.


Maher doesn't pretend to be anything but an opinionated comedian.

That is OK as long as everyone understands what they are watching.
It was a bit scary when way more than half of the young adults in the
country said they got most of their news from comedians. (Stewart,
Maher and the late night talk shows)


Well, there have been several studies released that indicate the more
Fox News you watch, the dumber you get. Or something like that.

Who was talking about Fox news?


Weren't we discussing opinionated comedians? That's Fox News.


I am never disappointed that you can twist any conversation around to
an opportunity to express your political opinion. Typically with some
totally unrelated brain fart.



Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you took Fox News seriously.

You stated:

"That is OK as long as everyone understands what they are watching."

I view Fox News "reportage and commentary" as opinionated comedy. Your
mileage obviously varies. Ever watched Steve Doocy? Remember him from
the time he was the nightly news show clown on one of the local
stations? No one took him seriously then, and no one should now. And
Steve isn't the only example of a Fox News clown.

He seamlessly emits brain farts and shoe stink.
