Gratifying News
Posted by David Aldridge on 2006-10-06
I’m much relieved to learn that my sole television news source, The Daily Show, is apparantly as substantive as any of the regular news networks whose coverage I find to be eye-rollingly dull, irrelevant, laden with sound-bites and photo-ops, and just plain stupid.
If you’re not from these shores then here’s a “flavor“.

I wish we had “Have I Got News For You” here. I miss it.

Even here in Spain we can enjoy Jon, his sharp sense of humour and the not-so-polliticaly-correct point of view.
Cheers.
Carlos.

Akshally, to claim that Jon Stewart’s show is “as substantive” as news networks is a semantic insult: there is NOTHING substantive about regular networks…

Oh, I don’t know about that. FOX News makes for a good emetic if you’re in need of one.
