It's about as much the news as the regular news is. Nah…The Daily Show just makes me laugh at how ridiculous people are. It’s about as much the news as the regular news is.

You're not really citing that as news are you? It's funny, for sure but hardly news. The Daily Show, seriously? You’re not really citing that as news are you? It’s funny, for sure but hardly news.

I also refuse to watch any news or newschannels since the VT tragedy. If I ever see Brian Williams or the people from the Today Show in person I would have to hold back from violence. I watch the Daily Show and read my news on the interweb...not that either of them aren't sugar-coated either, but I should stay slightly informed.

I was watching 'Family Guy' a few weeks ago and the reporter came on and said, "And now, the traffic report which really won't help you if you need it because you are in your car where there is no TV"...I thought it was hilarious and so true!! Finally, something we agree totally on! ;-)
