LOL

Stephen Colbert is proving time and time again how comedians like Jon Stewart and himself are actually becoming better journalists than the actual journalists. Bravo Stephen! You definitely have a loyal fan in me. He also proved how stupid and mindless all of those morning shows are becoming. Clearly, if I want stupid humor, I should go to Good Morning America and the Today Show.

Tapper, thought ye knew better?

Not surprised to see the "mainstream" media totally miscontrue the interview. Did surprise me that former Salon writer and now ABC news correspondent Jake Tapper commenting on this. I guess I expected more from Jake. Seriously working for any big news media must lower people's IQ's by a third.

Watching Colbert and Stewart on the netis a good reminder for me because....

..it reminds me how crappy TV news is.

It also blunts my interest in cable news.
