Honestly, can you get any funnier than Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert? And they're not just funny, they bring up serious issues that are pretty much ignored by our "news" media. Of course, they do it in a very funny way.
Remember all that ACORN stuff, jumped on by right-wing politicians everywhere? Here's Stephen Colbert with the rest of the story:

... or if you'd prefer, here's the same thing on Hulu:

But how many people will ever know that those "incriminating" videos had been edited so much they were worthless (except for right-wing propaganda)? Certainly Fox News will stay quiet about it. Hey, I don't doubt that certain ACORN offices had bad staffing, but I'm equally certain you can find that everywhere.
Oh, well, at least we can still laugh about it.
PS. Thanks to James Scott Taylor for the tip.
