I-ra-ndecision 2009: The Daily Show Chooses to Treat News from Iran as Though It Were Actual News
Earlier this morning, Andrew Sullivan shared this comment from a reader…
"Over the weekend, attempting to get the latest news on the Iran elections aftermath, I tuned into 'The Situation Room' on CNN. Wolf Blitzer began the program with the latest on the David Letterman/Sarah Palin uproar.
"Meanwhile, last night the Daily Show led off with the story of the Iran elections. They've even had a correspondent actually in Iran the last couple weeks."
To be fair, I suspect that CNN was told that they were supposed to treat this like it was something that actually mattered…
The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm / 10c.
More actual coverage of news after the jump…
