lorne, FOX has the largest viewing audience and gained market share during the election campaign. Liberal newspapers like the NYTimes are going bankrupt because Americans no longer believe their leftist propaganda. IMO, Obama's 6M vote margin were those lured by his promise to send a government check asap. Once they realize the check is not in the mail - and probably never will be - those same voters will angrily storm to the polls for the 2010 midterm elections. They'll vote for Repubs in order to get retribution for being hoodwinked by the snakeoil salesman Dem.

Snubbed Daily Show Fan On Rampage

Canadian Stewart-lover blogs her pain on HuffPo

By Elizabeth Bougerol, Wed, Nov 12, 2008

A Daily Show fan is mad about getting turned away from Stewart's Election Night Special.

Hell hath no fury like a Jon Stewart fan scorned. A Canadian Jon Stewart fan.

We read with sadness the tale of Sharilyn Johnson, a woman who has traveled from Toronto to New York City to attend Daily Show tapings so many times, she's on a first-name basis with "Teri" and "Jessica" from the audience department. Yet when she flew down last week for the Daily Show's Election Night Special, she waited in line and watched as seats filled with VIPs… and then the unthinkable happened: She was turned away at the door. (Only about 21 or so folks got in. Johnson was No. 40 out of about 250.)

How could this happen?! She reserved her tickets 7 months ago! And she's the biggest fan ever! And she took vacation days from her job, booked a hotel, and traveled FROM TORONTO (that's a 52-minute flight!)! Gawker excerpts Johnson's emotional HuffPo screed about the incident, and here are some context-free highlights: "I am owed," "robbed of an experience," "emotionally empty," and our favorite - sorry, favourite - "How do I stand outside under that awning again?"

Poor Sharilyn wound up watching the returns in a dive on 11th Ave. In classic Canadian fashion, she followed all the rules, and got screwed anyway.
