I just have to wonder about the state of television news outlets. Not their reputation, Fox News shot that over a decade ago, but them being the source that newsmakers go to when they want to reach an audience. Jon Stewart had Anwar Sadat's wife on last night and will have the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tonight. Steven Colbert had H.R.M. Queen Noor last night and the editor at large at Hearst tonight. Damn good lines up, but this is COMEDY CENTRAL! This is the network that produces Reno 911, one of the dumbest shows on television, even if you include everything on VH1. News... you are screwed if this is where audiences are going for real discussions about issues. Just saying, it's pretty fucking sad when the guy with some of the highest journalistic principles, is the guy who hosted "You Wrote It, You Watch It" on MTV.
After this came to mind, I am seriously reconsidering my entire Masters degree. And I only wish that was a joke...
