Jeez, don't I know the feeling. I watch a few random pundits admittedly, but for all the crap they get about being conservative-leaning, Fox News tends to be way more centrist.

It's not hard to look pseudo-conservative when the lean is so far pseudo-left.

I mean, really, did you hear what happened in Europe this last weekend?

The Daily Show has never purported to be a news program, more of a satirical show concerning the news. It's why they're on Comedy Central and not CNN & the like.

Not for nothing, though, they'll pull up footage that you probably won't catch on the other news channels nor local programming. Either way, it's generally funny stuff if I'm up late enough to catch a live broadcast.

I'm fully aware of what The Daily Show is and didn't mean to convey it as an actual news program. The first half of the show was basically Jon ripping on CNN, MSNBC and Rush Limbaugh (who I never liked to begin with).

When reporting the news, the anchor should never have the opportunity to add something like "It's interesting to me that..." This and reporting only the half of a story that pushes their own agenda pisses me off because I know 1/4 of Americans are retarded (citation: South Park) and I know that 90% of the retards watch 24hr news channels (citation: my intuition).

But I digress, I just woke up and I have more important things to do than gripe about shit I don't like.
