    He IS a comedian, not a newscaster, but he does a "news show" on Comedy Central - it's not meant to be taken seriously, but there's no accounting for what people will believe!

    If you make the establishment look bad then you have got to be trustworthy, Right.

    There was a segment where he sparred with Brian Williams on his "News show" and I was surprised at the number of people that actually took the show seriously. Brian has been on the show many times and it is all in fun. They like each other and put on a 'tongue in check' show, which is what "News Show" is. It is no more than a newsy SNL. Both men on their respective normal shows are reading what their writers put on the teleprompter.

    Don't worry Blue - this is not a real poll. (I was formerly in the market research industry so I am familier with the process).

    A real poll would have contacted a cross-section of Americans and would have had quotas for gender, age, and other demographics.

    This poll is completely biased towards people who vist the time.com web site and choose to answer the question. They could have posted the poll here at Pet Talk and it would have had the same amount of validity.

    However, the fact that this is being treated as "news", shows the sorry state of the current media.

    These are not the droids you were looking for

    Ok, so I'm not as "out of the loop" as I thought I was. Whew!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I adore Jon Stewart and watch his show every night. However, he IS a comedian and has REPEATEDLY said so. I must admit that I guess I DO get alot of my news from him only because I cannot STAND the mainstream media. I just can't watch what passes for "news". He does have some great guests as well. I do like Rachel Maddow as well.
