I remember when there was such a stir about "young people today" getting their news from untrustworthy sources like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and then later The Colbert Report. I watched one and then both of those shows and often did hear about news for the first time on those shows, but they always made me do more research on things that interested me. Things I would have otherwise not known anything about.
I no longer watch those shows (too much to watch, too little time) and it occurred to me that I have stooped to an even lower low. I now get my news from Chelsea Handler and the comic round table on Chelsea Lately. Compared to Stewart, it is a little light on front page news and a little heavy on page six, but sometimes it is still the first place I hear about the latest scuttlebutt. Really quite sad.
Chelsea Lately.
Educating me greatly.
On every breaking broadcast
Of incredible inconsequence.
