Why is it some of the most relevant political discourse in the States..

Is shown on two comedy shows. Namely The Daily Show and The Colbert Report?

Doesn't that strike anyone else as a little worrying?

Who cares...It's Jon Stewart!

Laker Girl thinks they're documentaries.

I get my news from The Daily Show all the time, lol. I love both shows.

because as 'humorists' they are able to get away with telling the truth much more than they would be as 'the press'
especially since there are still many fucking morons in this country that still think the 'mainstream media' has some kind of liberal bias
this, of course, ceased to be true long ago
but don't worry, they will get around to silencing voices like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert
its just a matter of time...

One horse-laugh is worth ten thousand syllogisms. It is not only more effective; it is also vastly more intelligent.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.

That's from your link.. could've been written YESTERDAY.

Well that's not very nice.

I don't watch either show. Why put myself through that?

I think Jon Stewart is hilarious when isn't full of left wing liberal media shit but that's so rare these days. Aahhh if only he'd pull his head out of Hollywood's ass. BUT! That will never happen so long as they keep giving him pretty, shiney Emmys.

My sweet Libs, you'd be proud, I watched the entire Democratic National Convention. Heard all the major speeches and was completely unimpressed. It frustrates me that seemingly intelligent people can't see through Obama's curtain of crapola. He said nothing, didn't lay out plan one for anything and yet the media swears he solved all the country's problems. Tax the hardworking and educated so that the stupid and lazy don't have to work. Obama's the smartest man ever! ...As far as retards go anyway.

Have no fear, I won't be holding the party line. I like Palin, she's good people but fuck all that with springing open the boarders and giving wetbacks amnesty. God, this election sucks.

Hi L_G!

TBH.. McCain hasn't laid out any solutions either. They're both politicians, who will say anything to get elected.

 

[Laker_Girl]

SO TRUE! I told you, McCain isn't exciting me either. It's just a crap year in politics.

I feel like McCain is our John Kerry, barely a chance in hell considering the alternative. And Obama is their George W. Bush, let's just see if he can fuck it up worse than it already is.

My only solice is, Obama isn't really lighting the world on fire, inspite of what the liberal media would have you believe. I'm not going ga-ga for McCain but I just can't stand Obama. Is it me or does he start to sound like Bill Cosby after a while? I don't mean his speeches, I mean his voice.

I'm all warm and fuzzy inside.

When has Hollywood ever had an agenda besides making huge amounts of money?

 

[Cassie]

When their agenda was to eat unsuspecting babies.
