Pundit School

Screw Al Qaeda, TV Political Punditry has been one of the largest threats to the fabric of American democracy over the past 20 years. It is a cess pool of misinformation that values soundbite entertainment over substantive policy discussion.

The loudest and most obnoxious are usually awarded with shows and appearances. The format allows both sides to "debate" a topic, even though most of the time one side is full of crap or lacks any contextual knowledge of the item but somehow is still given equal time to spew drivel. Their arguments and the whole TV conversation just makes you dumb.

For for your average Fox News viewer, these shows provide you short talking points to memorize and regurgitate so you do not have to do the heavy lifting of actually thinking for yourself. Fox has conveniently helped you out!


The Daily Show's Jason Jones investigated the political pundit world in this segment.

Where is the "Real and Pro America?"

Being a District of Columbia resident and yuppy elitist with no vehicle, I avoid the Virginia and Maryland burbs at all costs. I had no idea how truly un American these population enclaves were until John McCain's brother labeled Arlington and Alexandria part of the communist country and McCain's top adviser called all parts of the state, excluding Northern Virginia(NOVA), the real Virginia.

I momentarily felt relief of a possible red scare in NOVA until I read that Sarah Palin said the only pro-America places were in small towns so it looks like my Northwest DC pad is anti-American. Man this sucks and I need Daily Show's Jason Jones to find out where I need to live in order to be a full fledged, real and pro American.
