wow arnie, what a freaking retard.

I learned more from that super small segment then from anything else I've seen on the mainstream news. Sometimes it seems like him and colbert are the only ones on tv calling the main news stations out for the sick fucks they are (like showing nothing but fire-raging-hell snap-footage. Thank god for context and a "news anchor" that doesn't make me want to puke.

Wow, this is the funniest one I've seen in some time. The "apples to dragons" bit was especially great.

Hey antimatter: you know what scares the shit out of me. More people get their news from Pundits on both sides of the political spectrum, than anywhere else. It's a sad day when we rely on news from comedians.

The sad thing is we can't rely on regular newscasts to give us news straight and therefore must rely on comedians (and their team of writers). To be fair there is skewing of news in any sort of newscast, but for the most part these comedians show us things that other newscasts wouldn't dare to.

It's a sad day when we rely on news from comedians.

I don't know anybody who actually relies on these guys for the news themselves. Rather, they exploit the constant opportunities for comedy created by the news programs through clever satire.

It is actually a very funny day when we rely on news from comedians. No sadness at all here. Very funny.

Too bad "... and Cheney sleeps through California wildfire briefing" didn't also fit into the title.

arg!! I could watch this yesterday, but today none of the Comedy Central embeds are working for me, looks like they have made the embeds un-available to Canadian's and possibly other countries as well...

dead for me in iceland

if its only available for the US I just cant see why comedy central should be allowed as a video host on videosift anymore

dead for me in the Netherlands

same problem in italy

For relatively sane news, I use the BBC. http://news.bbc.co.uk/

I don't know anybody who actually relies on these guys for the news themselves. Rather, they exploit the constant opportunities for comedy created by the news programs through clever satire.

Thousands of people were polled as to their knowledge about current political events in America, and they also listed their primary news sources. Newspapers were of course #1, but they were followed very closely by, believe it or not, Stewart/Colbert. Then there is a sizable dropoff, followed by public broadcasting, then local broadcasting, and then finally all of the standard national news networks, with Fox firmly at the bottom, of course.

Can't find the poll though . . . it irks me that I can't find anything because of these recent moves.

Wow, I wasn't aware of that. While it's great that these shows are so successful, the idea of using them as the main source for news is almost inconceivable to me.

dead in norway too, does anyone know why? (i feel left out )

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I believe it's because ComedyCentral has blocked anyone not coming from the US. This is sure to drive lots of people to Bit Torrent. Great strategy CC.

I think this should lead to discussion on the Sift over whether or not these clips should be posted if a sizable group of sifters can't see them.

When animals get along, all is well.

George Bush doesn't care about Rich People!

what a load of crap - Canadians can't access Comedy Central's website anymore!

Hey, it works for me now

Doesn't work from here either, tried various

Anyone know a workaround?

And it's gone again, weird....
