Interesting excerpt from latest Zogby poll: "Among the 7 percent of voters still undecided, Bush had a 34 percent positive job rating, versus a 66 percent negative rating. Only 18 percent of undecided respondents said the president deserved re-election, while 39 percent said it was time for someone new. In the latter group, 99 percent said they were likely to vote."

Thanks, Sioux Very interesting. He whacked them pretty well, I thought. I do agree with him that all this yelling and shouting and crap on cable news channels is ridiculous. Actually, it is a cheap way to fill time. It is much more expensive to pay news reporters to go dig up important information, than it is to take two loudmouths, sit them on a stage and broadcast their opinions. As the old saying goes, opinions are like "navels" everybody's got one . >>>GGGG

Good morning, Sioux. I read the transcript and how wonderful. But sad that it takes a comedy guy to go there and take them to task. I wish all the yelling-heads would read that, but it might not do any good. I agree with Stewart about the damage they are doing, and seemingly without care. Or perhaps it is the intention. One hope is that all the news channels will become more and more irrelevant if they continue on this path. Maybe Soros will start a new station? Now that would be cool. They could hire the lovely Ashley (can't remember her last name) who got shuffled to the shadows by MSNBC for questioning the coverage leading into Iraq. And all the other reporters who dared to speak up and got nailed for it. Kerry rocked in Ohio yesterday. Spirits up, friend! :)
