I'm down to Bill Maher, Samantha Bee, Seth Meyers, and Trevor Noah at this point.

Oh, and Vox's YouTube Channel.

You probably shouldn't get your news entirely from comedians, B

Vox isn't very funny.

The genius of the modern TV news outlets is that the information presented has to fit into that 7 or 8 minute window between commercials.

Only conventional ideology can be repeated, presented, in that window.

Its like Chomsky said, either repeat conventional ideology or say something true-and sound like you're from Neptune.


then you got the select few saying, blah yada fuckin whatever....as if 1 person is siting around deciding which stories to broadcast?

Well yeah, that individual was called an editor-producer today.

I just realized that I get most of my news from Twitter. It's just such an easy way to curate multiple views on trending topics. For conservatives I like David French and Ross Douthat, for libertarians I like Tyler Cowen and Russ Roberts, and for liberals I like Noah Smith.

Looks a bit old for an Afghan dancing boy. He did not get a very high bid.
