It should worry you that the most honest News show in the U.S. at the moment is a comedy show that bills itself as "fake news". <BR/><BR/>You may also try watching the Colbert Report on Comedy Central.<BR/> <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>// posted by<A><B> </B></A>USWestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-1135124779136836952005-12-20T16:26:00.000-08:002005-12-20T16:26:00.000-08:00Don't despair, Koala Boy. 11 months to go until t...Don't despair, Koala Boy. 11 months to go until the next congressional election. And Bush remains as unpopular as ever, with very low approval ratings. The teflon has been corroding for some time. Republicans are starting to join Democrats in opposing some of Bush's policies, and it only takes a few to thwart him (witness the bipartisan filibuster of the Patriot Act renewal.) <BR/><BR/>I think we've finally turned the corner on Bush.Dr. Strangelovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407042105777411150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-1135122438991889592005-12-20T15:47:00.000-08:002005-12-20T15:47:00.000-08:00What I am more worried about is that Bush et al ar...What I am more worried about is that Bush et al are completely teflon-coated, and none of the shite flying about will stick until November next year. And the press has lost all critical capability to the point that we're worried when a comedy program goes off the air.<BR/><BR/>Why should I worry? Apart from Bush's environmental policies that have more in common with rape and pillage? Let's face it, Australia is the 51st state under John Howard... <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>// posted by<A><B> </B></A>Koala BoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-1135084706036911882005-12-20T05:18:00.000-08:002005-12-20T05:18:00.000-08:00Oh, Koala Boy, the Daily Show is on their two week...Oh, Koala Boy, the Daily Show is on their two week "Jesus Break" right now.

I think The Daily Show works so well because of the personalities on the show. Maybe we haven't found someone with the right personality.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why <A HREF="http://www.cnnnn.com/" REL="nofollow">CNNNN</A>  didn't continue, beyond lack of funding and that it takes a lot of effort to do a complete spoof of CNN. They come out at every election at least. The Chaser was an attempt at the local version of the Onion. You also have to remember we only have five television stations: two government and three private. Cable never got laid down in any great quantity, and less than one in a hundred have cable of any form.<BR/><BR/>Oops, digression.
