Re:Science coverage on /. is crappy
What, like when those emails of Florida Republican Foley came out, Fox reported it with a slight twist... they listed him as a democrat?
See 2:26 mins into this clip!
Fox. Biggest propaganda machine ever! -
Re:Who really cares what the NYT has to say?
Most of the "newsy" articles come from AP and Reuters. That's one of the reasons I love to watch Jon Stewart's show, he does these montages of the cable news morons where he shows off just how silly and repetitive they are. I just laugh, how can anyone take cable news seriously after that? They've got one up right now about Clinton's concession speech and Obama's VP choice.

Re:Even the Post Title
Okay, I admit, that was a cheap shot at WV and I apologize to everyone in WV to didn't vote against Barack Obama because of his race. But in my defense, John Stewart took the first cheap shot.

Re:I predicted the demise of Tesla in 3 yearsThe US is FAR from bankrupt. China's only where they are in the world because we're allowing them to grossly distort the currency exchange, because we want them to work for peanuts. Push comes to shove, we can just sue in the WTO and slap a Tarrif on investments and production from China. The US is not at all far from being bankrupt. We are borrowing over $1 billion a day, and most of that money comes from China. If our government tries to pull any funny business, China can dump the dollar and crash our currency in a matter of weeks or days. Now, they probably won't because it would cause a fair amount of global economic chaos, which isn't in the interest of any major nation. If you believe that we can stay financially afloat with such massive incurrence of debt, such devaluation of our currency by printing money whenever we feel like it? 3: The dollar is rapidly losing ground against every single currency in the world. The only reason that the dollar buys what it does is because people believe in it... and people are not anymore. Odd. I still get paid in dollars, and they purchase enough goods for me to go back to work tomorrow. And that doesn't strike you at all as short-sighted? Have you seriously failed to notice the slow creep of inflation over the past $number_of_years_since_you_started_buying_stuff years? Have you failed to notice how that rate is increasing? The dollar has already lost 96% of its purchasing power since 1913. Hyperinflation is a very real possibility. The USSR did not have a free market, and was unable to feed people who did everything right. And here we come to a key part of the problem. The United States of America does not have a free market either. A free market is a market in which prices of goods and services are arranged completely by the mutual consent of sellers and buyers. Here in the US this is mostly true except that we have one buyer, (the Federal Reserve, that artificially, temporarily lowers prices by creating money out of thin air, something that cannot happen in a free market and something that devalues every dollar already in circulation. In case you believe I am going over the top, here is a video of Alan Greenspan stating quite clearly that we do not have a free market, along with some hand-waving about how we can't have one because of human nature.
The fact is, we're in pretty deep shit, and nobody's talking about it because nobody in the government or the media is talking about it, and we really need to talk about it if we're going to do anything to improve the situation. -
I'm pretty sure there aren't any copies

Re:Daily Show "Archive"
Go here: http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml. Slide the slider to a date to get the Episode Number that aired on that date. Type that Episode Number in the Search box. The episode will be there in clips. For example, I went there: http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml, slid the slider to March 20, 2008. The first clip in the results showed it was Episode 13039. I then typed "13039" (no quotes) in the Search box. Voila! 5 clips were displayed. I added up all of the running times, and it was 18 minutes, 59 seconds, which seems to me to be about right for a 30-minute show (shy of commercials and non-informational transitions).
It's not the 1/2-hour unbroken stream you want, but it's there. -

Daily Show "Archive"In this regard South Park joins fellow Comedy Central notable The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, whose archive was made freely available online late last year. As far as I can tell, the Daily Show just put a bunch of 5 minute clips online. Where do I find the real show? You know, like the whole thing.

Re:Cue the 3AM jokes...
In case you don't know, you can watch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report online. They may not be of highest video quality, but it doesn't really bother me. And I am a happy non-owner of TV and cable, believe it or not

It's off the air.
That's what's wrong with it. The writers' strike has taken my daily dose of not quite fake news off the air. Fortunately the wait will be over next Monday.

Re:Not every candidate
Kucinich gets my support simply because of the FLILF factor.

Re:Did they consult their customers?
How can you possibly have never heard of The Daily Show? It's the most trustworthy newscast in the USA.

Re:Is was not?
The Dailt Show explains all about this.

The only link *I* wanted

Re:They will never learn!
Are you suggesting that Ten Steven's series of tubes isn't going to be mocked for all eternity?
Make sure you watch the next video, too... the Play button at the end of the video plays the next video. -
Re:You won't make LIGHT of the problem?D'oh, I didn't even realize the pun.
Hey lookit me, I'm a comedian and didn't even know it. Do you hear that Jon Stewart? I'm coming after your job!
