Will look for it when I do. And from reading many of the posts over the years on this site, I'm guessing there are not a lot of Jon Stewart fans on here. More the Bill O'Reilly types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart and Colbert are funny, but if you think they are deep thinkers because they're witty and cute, well... You're probably still in college. Incidentally, "infotainers" like O'Reilly and Hannity are only a smidgen better. Pick up the Wall Street Journal or New York Times. Read a columnist. There's actually some political analysis going on there. EDIT: Don't mean to suggest you can't or shouldn't enjoy all of these folks. I do.

Pick up the Wall Street Journal or New York Times. Read a columnist. There's actually some political analysis going on there. Aren't columnists basically the same as the Hannitys, Maddows, etc, just using a different media? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge fan of The Economist and BBC. To keep things on topic, someone had to have photoshopped that picture, I don't recall us ever having played K-State in football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just that I don't know many conservatives that watch Jon Stewart for their laughs or liberals that watch O'Reilly. I find both entertaining but don't record O'Reilly's show and only catch it occasionally. But I have read a couple of his books and enjoyed them.
