    How political satire got so flabby. - Slate Magazine

    Whoa, I didn't realize that CNN had made a foray into comedy news shows. Um, isn't the whole point of the Daily Show that it's on Comedy Central, not a 24-hour news network like CNN? I bet Jon Stewart has a field day with this.

    Quoted: Not Just Another Cable News Show marks the ultimate VH1-ification of American politics, with a gallery of telegenic wiseasses brought on to snark about current events. At least VH1's fluff-summarizing Best Week Ever had the advantage of being current; the CNN show contented itself, last weekend, with scrolling through "the most memorable political blunders" of recent decades.
