You too 111! 49, yeah but the true libertarian answer to the “problem” was watered down when compared to the book. The editors apparently thought it’d be too much, plus the media hides anything libertarian (the party the govt. doesn’t want you to know about). The book’s better. 50 it’s comedy sure but its IMPORTANT satire. 68 and 70 got it right. Some genius figured out that the 5 major companies that own 95% of the media (Orwellrollsinhisgrave.com) won’t allow the truth out about any major news event (such as 2 Presidential candidates being arrested on the eve of the 04’ elections: http://www.e-thepeople.org/article/35752/) and created a couple of brilliant satire shows that actually tell us the real truths about how we should read most of today’s news (with a slight left-wing bent). The REAL NEWS is on these 2 shows and that’s why they are so popular, because people know it! People know most of the media lies and (aside from Democracy Now on LINK TV) there is no other media I trust as much as these two beyond maybe the BBC. Pathetic little Jerry Rivers is part of the propaganda machine, pity him; he’s a “has-been” (or maybe a “never-was”). Since Colbert and the Daily show emphasize what's really going on in the world (as opposed to all the propaganda/lies that are the daily media we all watch on TV everyday) has anyone thought that most of the jerks on Digg who are anti-Colbert Report, like I Hate-this or I Hate-that (appropriately named) might well be either govt operatives or just clueless Conservatives? So why should we care what they say? Screw 'em! Colbert and Stewart ROCK and pronounce in the only HONEST media form (satire) the corporate owned media will allow, the TRUTH about what is going on in our world! The truth is not something the govt. wants getting out on the airwaves. That's why professional propagandists like Hanty, Combs and O’Lielly types say they should be removed from the air because they are a "danger" to the youth of America; WOW just like terrorists! I guess Congress will have the Patriot Act declare satire as terrorism soon! Reminds me of when Bill Maher got removed from cable for being honest.
