It's a funny thing about the truth.

Today when the news broadcast media are so bloody lazy, so amazingly incompetent, so shamelessly willing to air every paranoid, vindictive, and psychotic opinion and attack on the President of the United States, American should be more grateful than ever for so called comedians like Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and others. While ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and, of course, Fox are so quick to air totally unproven allegations and devote time to nutcases like Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and Ann Coulter, and ever-wrong warmongers like John McCain and his adoring echo Lindsey Graham, it's a relief to know we can turn to programs like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report to get some unbiased information. We no longer have Edward R. Murrows, Huntleys and Brinkleys, or Walter Cronkites to help us sort through the complex world of news. Now we have attractive network anchors who seem to be willing to report any story, any rumor and any attack that comes across their glass-topped desks. So if you want the truth about the world's disasters and tragedies, then the sanest place you can turn to are the comedy shows.
