Things You Learn from the Daily Show

Chris Wallace (Fox News) was the guest tonight. They had some pretty funny exchanges, but he did announce something that was pretty interesting. He said that Hillary had accepted a debate on Fox News. Confirmed here.

Wow. That's so stupid it's hard to imagine. One of the few really good things that the Democrats have actually done this primary season is just avoid Fox News. It doesn't reduce the number of debates (jebus there's been a ton of them). It's a really effective way to make the point that Fox News is what everyone knows it is, Republican propaganda. At the same time they've been handing their competitors huge ratings wins. CNN had the most watched political debate ever on Cable TV.

And what was the other thing that Chris Wallace announced on the Daily Show? Oh, that Karl Rove would be joining the Fox News team! Huh, so you have a Fox anchor go on a show and give two big announcements at the same time: Karl Rove now a part of Fox News, and Hillary Clinton wants to debate on Fox News. That pretty much says it all.

I'm so glad I voted for Barak.
