Daily Show does probably the best non-intentional report demonstrating Neil Postman's theory on the entertainmentinzation (yes, that's a word) of the news industry. We'll leave it there? Starts at the 1:45 mark and it goes to you pee your pants with laughter.
There is so much to cover here I can't take it but I would say a news anchor questioning if she can "check the facts" has got to be as hilarious as it is soul-flattening.
