An Observation of Something that Rings Very True..

A while back, I came across an article that contained a line that resonates so well in our current state, it's almost unreal.

"And the fact that most of our elders call us "the worst generation" for relying on a comedy program for our news, while we call them "the insanest generation" for creating an environment in which a comedy program is one of the more reliable sources of news, seems like one of the more interesting conflicts of the decade." Quoted by Michael Swaim, in an article on Cracked.com circa December 2009.

Hmm. Very true. For those who don't put much weight in the words of an article from Cracked, give it some thought.

Personally, I love The Daily Show (And Cracked). While I regard it as the satirical news show it is, the fact that a show on the comedy network is held in higher esteem in the eyes of much of my generation than MSNBC, or FOX, is utterly backwards.

It just goes to show how, both influential and dismissed mainstream media can become in the eyes of a population. As my pet project, I'll be discussing the state of (many) nations in my own little online journal.
