[info] autographedcat:  

I kinda lost interest in what the mainstream media had to say about the election after the whole "Obama can"t bowl" "story".

It's kinda sad when you realize that you might be getting better coverage of the election from The Daily Show than you do from CNN.

 
[info] osewalrus:   

Many have made this realization. It amuses me that when the press report how 20% of young people identify the Daily Show and the Onion as sources of news,they cluck their heads sadly at this lost generation rather than wondering why they have such a crappy product.

I made that realization in 2004, when Jon Stewart was invited to a "news/commentary" "show" on CNN and proceeded to school the CNN pundits.

("My show is lead in by puppets making prank calls. Your show is on C-N-N!")

[Bad username or site: osewalrus'/ @ livejournal.com] is dead on. Several studies over the past few years have found that Daily Show viewers are better informed about elections and political issues than those whose primary news sources are newspapers or network news. And still they continue to believe that this is just an amusing factoid rather than a reason for concern.

Not to get all conspiracy-theory-ish, but if I were in a position to want to undermine a free press, I'd like the current state of affairs.
