A new book argues that Colbert, Jon Stewart and Bill Maher are good for democracy. But is it taking late-night comedy too seriously?
  • Are You Kidding?

    Having seen the coverage of the major networks and cable outlets, these comedia-casters are the only source of unbiased reporting.

    MSNBC, NBC, and CNN have been drinking the kool-aid regarding Obama. They can't say enough good things about him and conversly they cannot say enough bad things about Clinton.

    Fox. on the other hand can't say enough bad things about all democrats and not enough good things about republicans.

    At least with John Stewart, Colbert, et al the concept of comedy and parody are the intent. It should be noted that the funniest humor is that which makes us unconfortable because it is true.

    When Saturday Night Live did the parody of the debate between Clinton and Obama, they were spot on regarding the "mainstream press".

    Look at MSNBC, Dan Abrams (worse) never and I mean never finds Obama at larger fault than Clinton. Olbermann (worser) is almost but not quite the worst partisan I've ever seen. I leave the designation "Worst Person in the World" to CHris Matthews. He of "Pimping out" Chelsea.
