Pew Study: Most Viewers Say TV News Lacks Credibility

We see from a recent Pew study that TV news lacks credibility. Get out of the city with that nonsense cousin.

C’mon, this can’t be a surprise. When we get meta-edu-news-a-gossip spoon fed every day we can’t really trust “the news.” (If we were having a face to face conversation, you know real time, I’d make annoying finger quotations every time I say “the news.” So, as you try to hide in shame behind the latte, I’m little bunny fru-fruing it. It’d be so fun.)

What network will Katie Couric be joining? Is Star Jones still a lawyer and when are they going to rehydrate her? What is the best way to serve eggs during a summer concert series where the lipsynching teen is teaching your kids to do a reacharound while smoking crack? Does Tucker really tie that tie? America needs to know.

At times, it seems like we’re getting closer to the clock striking thirteen. But in a postmodern saving twist… Lady in the Lake? Signs? No, I’m talking about the news and communication in democratic societies. The postmodern twist is in truthiness - the real news is not credible and the fake news becomes more “truthy” everyday.

Remember when Jon Stewart euthanized the lame beast formerly known as Crossfire? Well, his partner in crime and truthiness did a similar thing last week. Colbert crushed those morning network news fucktards, as he and his writers handed Matt “they’re not hair plugs” Lauer, et al their asses. Thankfully, Katie left her coloncam at NBC so we get to see what this ass-handing looks like. Check it out.

But Matt really pressed Tom Cruise about…SHUT UP!! It’s not news and it’s Tom Cruise and his fake baby. Who cares?!?!

“I like cheese.” Yeah, just don’t move it, unless you have a killer recipe for quesadillas or breakfast burritos -- they make me feel so sassy.

What? Lance Bass is gay and Reichen is too demanding. Sorry, I gotta check this out 'cause that's neewwws.
