The Influence of the Daily Show

Last week, as I noted here, the chief foreign correspondent for CBS News was the guest on the Daily Show.

So today there is a story that quotes heavily from that interview to discuss how the networks have radically scaled back their war coverage. (There's none of that "you should only log in" bullshit on the IHT's web page.)

If you want to know what is going on in the world, there has never been a better and easier time to do it. You can read coverage from news sources around the world and that's before you even get into the blogs. The networks may not be paying any attention to the Wars of the Quarter-Bright King, but that doesn't give you an excuse for not knowing about them.
