I don’t watch the news, or read the news paper.  I get all my news from the Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

I know it seems silly and sort of sad because by doing this I’m learning more about the US and what happening there then I am about my own country.  Well, I would watch The Rick Mercer Report more, but it doesn’t go all year like Stewart or Colbert.  It really should.  I’m sure it could pick up an audience.

Anyway,  I’ve said before that I don’t watch too much TV anymore, but I love my Daily Show.  I record it during the week and watch it usually on the weekend.  Heck, I even watch it during work on the Comedy Network’s web site.  So awesome!  I can watch whole episodes whilst I animate ^_^

I’ve heard that Colbert can’t measure up to Stewart, and vise versa but I like both shows equally.  They both have writers and set up as far as I’m concerned.

I even went and bought a book after watching the Daily Show one day.  I’ve never done anything like that before.  I must say that the book was great as well.

What was the book? A Long Way Gone: memoirs of a boy soldier by Ishmael Beah.

I highly recommend it.
