According to the newly released Senate healthcare bill, Democrats want to pay for reform by taxing so-called "Cadillac insurance plans." Which sounds good, until you remember GM filed for bankruptcy this year. "Cadillac" doesn't exactly mean what it used to. In fact, I'm pretty sure this means they're paying for healthcare reform by taxing Medicaid. Either way, Stephen Colbert has a fool-proof plan to protect his money from the socialist taxocrats.

Of course we think The Daily Show is the only trustworthy news-source in America, but we work for Comedy Central, so we're hardly objective. We also think South Park should have won the Nobel Prize for Economics, and Just Shoot Me reruns cure rickets. But it turns out we're not the only ones singing the praises of Jon Stewart and the Best Fucking News Team Ever.

At the recent Bloomberg Washington Summit, President Obama's outgoing Communications Director Anita Dunn continued the ridicules of Fox News that marked her time with the administration:

She criticized Fox for using edited footage of a rally to make it appear that opposition to the president’s health-care plan was bigger than it was.

“The people who exposed this: Jon Stewart of the Daily Show on Comedy Central… That’s where you are getting fact-checking and investigative journalism these days.”

To see what real fact-checking and investigative journalism looks like, you can watch the segment in question below, followed by Jon Stewart's response to Sean Hannity's apology.

Yesterday we told you that Sean Hannity had apologized to Jon Stewart and The Daily Show for misappropriating footage on his Fox News program. Now, we reported on it, but we didn't actually watch the show. That would be like sticking our head in a beehive for an hour because we wanted some honey. Well, Jon Stewart, yeoman that he is, stuck his head in that beehive, and lived to tell the tale. Barely.

On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart pointed out that Sean Hannity has been passing off footage from Glenn Beck's 9/12 rally as footage of a recent health care reform protest. It's certainly troubling. I don't know what to believe about Sean Hannity now. For all we know, his never-ending manipulative, bigoted, nationalistic, disingenuous, opportunistic rabble-rousing was stolen from someone else.

On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart did a lengthy segment about the Obama Administration's so-called "war on Fox News," and the network's assertion that they only broadcast actual news nine hours per day. It's sort of like how Cat Fancy magazine is really only 35% about cats, and the rest is paranoid fear-mongering. Or how when you go to Yankee Candle Company, nine of the shelves have candles and the other 15 have t-shirts with Obama wearing a Hitler mustache. It's called diversifying.

Is there anyone in this world more oppressed and downtrodden than Glenn Beck? The people of Darfur have a saying when things get especially tough: "At least we're not Glenn Beck." No one else knows his pain. No one knows his struggle. No one knows exactly which meds it is he keeps forgetting to take. No one except, of course, Stephen Colbert.
