Jon Stewart Versus Cable News on Rush Slut Kerfuffle

Rush Limbaugh has apologized for calling Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" but the whole dustup made it very clear what the difference between cable news and comedy is: almost nothing. Jon Stewart's take on The Daily Show was as hilarious as Karl Rove's on Fox News. For entirely different reasons.

Cable "news" is a jungle. Entertaining, tacky, loud, opinionated, silly? Yep. Journalism? No way. Especially in prime time the hosts of these shows are clowns whose only job is to get like-minded viewers to lap up what's put in front of them. Cable Kooks skewers this faux-news whether it's on Fox, MSNBC, CNN or even Current. We watch cable news so you don't have to. To quote John Hodgman, "you're welcome."
