Daily Show….gate
Once again, Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show provides the Alka-Seltzer to the bilious outpourings of pols and pundits. Stewart asks Senior Scandal Historian Stephen Colbert whether the press could break a story like Watergate today:
COLBERT: “it just no longer has the credibility.” STEWART: “the media?” COLBERT: “No. The truth.” (video via Crooks & Liars) from Evan at PEEK/Alternet
I swear, Stephen and Jon, that what I’m about to tell you about the priorities of today’s journalism will be the truth, so help me, help me … help me …

industry publications. You can find the job application on Country Music Television’s Web site.

This sounds very similar to my prediction
that companies would sign bloggers to endorsement deals. It’s a clever
PR stunt. The key question I have at this stage with this and any such
program that compensates a blogger is: where is the transparency?
