QuoteMany young people don't watch 'The Daily Show' just to laugh — they watch the show to get their news.

:lmfao:

Could be worse - they could watch Fox to get their news.

OMG NOT THAT

Fox News is what old people watch.

I wonder who actually watches the news or reads a newspaper these days.

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

The UK seems to be all about newspapers.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

That is at least some comfort.

I read the physical New York Times twice a week.   :smarty:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I've seen this guy's stand up. He is quite funny. Though has the potential be a bit of a one trick pony with jokes about being mixed race.

I still read newspapers, but truth be said I haven't watched TV news in ages. It's just completely insubstantial.

I watch the local news a couple of times a week. Can't remember last time I've read a newspaper.


In other news, who is this Noah dude?

A South African who makes unfunny jokes about race and hates America. Oh and he is taking over for John Stewart.
