106. When the official news itself is a mockery of the truth

Wed Feb 11, 2015, 05:06 PM

Feb 2015

Then the mockery of those networks is nothing but the truth.

Fox News and Murdoch must be ecstatic. Comedy is the only weapon the left has against the right wing lies. They just buy out or ridicule or create a faux scandal to squeeze out any "serious" journalism, from Donahue to Olbermann. Cons lose the comedy part of the brain early on. Unless you find Victoria Jackson or Dennis Miller funny. And Stewart is a one of a kind. He really is unreplaceable. I hope they find someone who can do even half as good a job at eviscerating the MSM, especially FAUX News. I wish John Oliver was available.
