The Daily
Show-a fake comedy newscast shown on The Comedy Channel-has a higher
percentage of news viewers than any of the traditional nightly news
broadcasts, especially among youth. People expect to be entertained by
the news, not informed by it, and the news will deliver, leading to a
proliferation of Daily Shows and the death of real news. And without SW
radio, we'll have to accept infotainment as fact, since we'll have no
alternative.
The Court Jester was the one guy who could get away with criticising
the King. The Daily Show rules. That and the BBC World Service (on
XM and Sirius 24/7) keep me reasonably sane. If all 6 of those
satellites fall down, I still have a house full of shortwaves.

Perhaps we should all have 40 Channel CBs, just in case.
