  • The Daily Show In The Era Of Obama

    TV Buzz The media is all revved up to see how The Daily Show (and political comedy in general) will thrive in the era of Obama, a president who, unlike Bush, is shaping up to not be an a-hole and single-handedly destroy the country. If all were right in the world, Dubya would get his own segment on The Daily Show, letting us see how funny the guy can be when not, you know, controlling the fate of the free world.

  • Chocolate News

    TV Buzz In the age of Obama, Comedy Central is [finally] trying to capture an African-American audience in this sketch show disguised as a newsmagzine set to air before The Daily Show and The Colbert Report (not bad). Rumor has it that Tyler Perry had to be “forcibly removed” from the set when he learned that his name wasn’t attached to the project. Thank goodness too, because we’ll take Grier’s Maya Angelou over towering nightmare Madea any day. (Also, I made up that rumor.)

  • Lara Logan

    Politics Buzz The Chief Foreign Correspondent for CBS News who has lived in Baghdad since the beginning of the Iraq War criticizes the media’s lack of coverage on the Daily Show. Oh, and by the way, she’s kind of stunning, and has a South African accent. Meet my new girlcrush, everyone!

  • Baracknophobia

    Politics Buzz Coined by Jon Stewart, “Baracknophobia” is the media’s willingness to peddle insane rumors about Barack Obama — and their tendency to blame the rumor-mongering on internet sites. Merriam-Webster, take note: will Baracknophobia be this year’s truthiness?
