The "T" is silen

I'm a big fan of The Colbert Report, not only because Stephen's last name is pronounced Colber so he felt it important to also make the "T" in Report a thing of the past, but because he, like Mr. Stewart, speaks for the generation of American's who are sick and tired of inane reporting. After all the controversy surrounding Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather, I am feeling that these true newsmen are no longer reporting on politics, but playing them. Much has also been make about what Katie Couric’s going to cover in the fall in her new position on CBS? I don't give a fuck. How about Meredith Vieira? Is she going to provide The Today Show with some much-needed "serious journalism"? The woman who would openly talk about her orgasms and blowjobs on The View?!?! I don’t think so--she’s basically a glorified phone sex operator. So it's nice to see that I am not the only one who feels The Morning "News" Shows are becoming more or less filler until at 11 o' clock America gets to hear the 12 words they've been waiting for, "Come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price Is Right!" So check out this clip (it's a little long but soooo worth it) of The Colbert Report tackling the issue of "serious" journalism.

    The other solution is to get BBC America and watch the news from them. They actually have news stories on there - it's very interesting to find out what's ACTUALLY going on in the world.
