Comedy Central, rcade?
When yer MSM exist to create public opinion or lead it around by the nose rather than to reflect public opinion you need some kind of a backup.
Back in feudal times the only one allowed to speak truth in the court of the King was not the attendent nobles but rather the ridiculous court jester.
In these neo-fuedal times, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, David Letterman and to a lesser extent Jay Leno et al are America's court jesters.
They speak uncomfortable truths embedded within jokes like the spoon fulla sugar that helps the medicine go down more palatably.
The Jason Jones piece on Wassilla AK was not only funny but informational as well.
We learned that the latest mayor of Wassilla has nothing to do with social services she just signs the checks and holds infrequent staff meetings.
Oh, and she considers that to be adequate training fer someone who wants to be a 72 yo heart beat away from the most powerful job on earth.
Tattooed dude explaining the superior morality of small town America then explaining how his tattoes boast of his cheating on his former wife was a larf.
The notion that small town America still has the iconic sody fountain shops and the like as oppposed to the same big box outlets you find everywhere was well done.
The interview with the guy from the Alaska Independence Party ie. the Secessionist America-haters who, until recently, numbered Todd Palin among them was a point well made as well.
As the guest said on this specific episode, watching The Daily Show is one of the most important things Americans do with their spare time.

Agreed.
People need to take a little time out from their pr0n surfing an such and get a little better informed on th eworld they live in.
The interview you refer to was a funny and scary interview.
The author explaining how the Military Industrial Complex that Ike warned of was now has grown and entrenched itself into so many other BigBiz concerns that it could be more properly percieved as a BigGov/BigBiz/BigMedia complex.
JS: "Are we still on the air?"
