Potatoes with mouths. Indeed.
And you know what? Fuck mainstream news. Fuck ALL of them. Look – I love the Daily Show – but it takes a fucking ‘comedy’ program to drive home a potentially important conflict if interest that’s present in a major news network?!
This isn’t the first time Fox’s co-owner has been brought into the limelight, but in the wake of their islamophobic rantings, it’s delightfully entertaining to – hopefully – watch them squirm in the seats as the irony drips from their sweaty brows.
Mainstream news is just one big circle jerk. Shame on them all for suffering journalism a slow and painful demise.
All we have left is Wikileaks and the fucking Daily Show. Sometimes MSNBC.
And.. the internet. Thank you internet.
* You know what? If you don’t want people to upload your fucking video content to YouTube, at least making your embed code halfway useable. Who’s responsible?! WordPress? Comedy fucking central?
