Reality Comedy vs. Faux news.

Maybe MSNBC is checking my blog:
Joe Scarborough covers the controversy between Comedy Central and Fox News.

My opinion is that there is more news in the entertainment of Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert than either in whatever it is that Geraldo Rivera and Bill O'Reilly are going for. As for Joe Scarborough, he at least may have more balance of news and comedy even if his views are not balanced. Here he at least has two guests that are not "yes men" or women, even if he does not exactly get it.

[Reviewing my posts, the closest I came to what I recalled as a comment comparing the news of Comedy Central to the comedy of Fox news was a suggestion for a real news network with Jon Stewart as number one anchor. My campaign to tranfer duties of Comedy Central to news and Fox News to comedy, may have went out in an actual email to interested parties.]

Did I see it coming?

Humor and Reality are not "Fair and Balanced".

Most Trusted Anchors: Stewart and Colbert
I did not see this coming. Or did I? After the last post, I turned to something that had caught my eye earlier on some screen.

Second Hand Wisecracks

Even Letterman.
Thank You Scarborough Country and MSNBC.

And the Today Show.
Or Leno-Just Funny?

I hope to return to actually view the above links again or for the first time, as well as find where I suggested that Comedy Central and Fox News should switch categories or names: maybe News Central and Fox Comedy.

Arrow of Time

or Symmetry of Inheritance?
Thanks to Keith Olbermann and
FOX News for the
Trifecta of Bad Times.
An end to an error, and the flip-flop of freedom as not a force but a purpose that requires work. There will be no end to humor or force for humility, as it is no longer funny that Comedy Central has more News and more balance. With inspiration I acknowledge the difficulty in laying down the tools of sarcasm and satire, but I will try to remember more than just the hope in this day of transition.

And maybe Biden can even aspire with a nod to Sarah Palin
and even Dick Cheney, to work with congress.
As far as leadership, and OBAMA
the time has come for change.

[Approximate closing of this post: 10:20 BG (before google)]
[update: 10:45 no end to humor or force for humility (links added and seemingly proof of some sense or other)]
[Please note that I DID NOT find it funny that Chief Justice Roberts could not get the oath straight.]
[I originally misreported it as Trifecta of Bad News]

[Update 1-21-09] to be sure see above: There will be no end to humor or force for humility...links to video of original Obama oath and actual oath.
[Update 1-26-09: Colbert catches it.]

One of my readers

if there is more than one, is concerned about my communications.
Note Under Construction label. I agree, it is problematic at times and heavy in links to say the least.

Fair and Balanced News? is a link directing to The Daily Show.

That is called Ledership you can choose to follow.(The FOX NEWS motto versus Comedy Central as a news source.)

Debt is a Red Herring, is a statement and a link and spins from here:

Six Things Everybody Knows About Deficits ...
That Are Completely Untrue
Which I rephrase as truths:

1.) Current and future spending are not the problem with the defecit, except for paying for our history.
2.) Social Security is not a big deal to fix(separately), but could be impacted by the budget and other decisions.
3.) Austerity and investment are different stories, that both have an impact on the budget and winning the future as well as the now.
4.) Concessions should not be trickle down but incentives should be target up.
5.) Wall Street is not fixed enough to be that big or permanent a part of the solution.
6.) Social Security is not on the same budget table as Medicare and Medicaid and calling them "entitlements" is misleading, and means testing or tax changes could address their impact on our economy

The rest is context and more sources, which may merit more spin and unembedding here: segment,the club of association)

If you don't get it you maybe out foxed.

Nonetheless i will further comment on some of the above links.
Club: The Norman Goldman 4-Point Plan to Rescue America
Association Lawrence O'Donnell, Dennis Kucinich interview about Tea Party coordination.
More: Randi Rhodes interviews Ron Paul
Spin: It is hard to believe Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker could be outed by prank, as puppet of Tea Party Sugar Daddy David Koch.
And back to O'Reilly interview of Beck, it completes a circle. The democracy that means the so-called communists and fundamentalists Beck says will be at the table in Egypt will be practiced in some repects in America and there will be uprising against the crony capitalism of Governor (Mubarak)Walker.
