This guy does a better job than CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN and FOX combined. The Daily Show and NPR are the only way I can maintain sanity during a Presidential election.
TBOEXTRA.com :: Jon Stewart Chides Cable News Channels For Dumbing Down Serious Election Coverage
This week, Stewart held court in Denver with two dozen print journalists and ripped into the cable news networks for being little more than “gerbil wheels” that spin news and chase after meaningless stories. He chided reporters for letting the cable news set the agenda by creating a “false sense of urgency.” He said too many “follow the veins that have been mined” instead of pursuing in-depth reporting.One of the examples Stewart cited was coverage of a Barack Obama visit to a bowling alley during the Pennsylvania Democratic primary where the Illinois senator bowled a miserable 38. That low score got more coverage than any of Obama’s platform positions and some other more serious news that week. It led to numerous commentaries including MSNBC’s resident conservative Joe Scarborough suggesting a low bowling score indicates a lack of manhood.
