I have never seen an entire network's credibility plummet so fast. Excellent find.

But here's the good news: 21 percent of young people ages 18 to 29 cited comedy shows like "Saturday Night Live" and Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" as their primary sources for campaign news. Twenty-one percent!"

Cable news and Comedy Central have about the same amount of credibility as far as I'm concerned.

Actually, I agree with you on that. Throw in the networks too as far as I'm concerned.

One needs only to watch five minutes of the blowhards on FOX or MSNCB to see how abundantly clear that is. At the very least, a comedian isn't as afraid to **** of Washington friends and is much more apt to tell it how it is.

I love how people try to dismiss Jon Stewart because he's on Comedy Central.

Humor has always served as the clearest path to truth in societies. This is no different.

Brilliant man, he is.

Default I'm surprised we haven't seen more jewish lighting striking failed mortgaged homes

Anyone notice any upward fluctuations in home fires since these sub-prime foreclosures started?

I mean Larry Silverstein made out just swell!

Larry Silverstein, WTC 7, and the 9/11 Demolition

Lucky Larry wants $12.3 billion more for 9/11

Didn't anyone buy any home insurance that protected from bank terrorists?
