A masterful segment from The Daily Show about the state of discourse in cable news (CNN specifically):
I don’t really have much to add, though I think the point about “balance” is especially important: instead of checking the facts of guests, many cable news shows often just have someone from “the other side”, that way journalists just become weak moderators, not arbiters of truth. One of the problems with this is that this leads to just listening to two sides of the same political consensus, and makes no attempt at representative intellectual diversity.

Why do we have to turn to Comedy Central for hard journalism? That’s kind of depressing.
