In an increasingly bizzaro World, Comedy Central boldly went where the network news media was unwilling to go last night. Despite a major story by the New York Times that the big three network news outlets of MSNBC, CNN and FOX News have hosted propagandists speaking on behalf of the Pentagon and military industry the story has been conveniently ignored by these very news outlets.
The Daily Show, however, made it a top story on last night's headlines. As usual Jon Stewart does a good job of presenting the story in an entertaining and informative way. But why on earth doesn't this story have any traction? Why do I need to rely on Jon Stewart and The New York Times to tell me what everyone in America should know about?
