The Daily Show wins [Ninth] consecutive Emmy!
Wisdom Quarterly (COMMENTARY)
Why is this news? The "news" presented to the American public is a joke -- a propaganda-laden PR campaign controlled by an impersonal process: Those corporate executives, executive editors, and in-the-know writers advance. There is governmental (regulation-wise) and extra-governmental (clandestine) help to those who promote a consensus reality that serves the military-industrial complex. Money is made (extracted from taxpayers and resources stolen from countries) through war, oil, and fear, installing "friendly" dictators and brutal regimes that are friendliest to the West. But when the joke is turned on the status quo and viewers are let in on what's really going on -- as with similar shows spawned by The Daily Show -- thanks to subversive comedy. It now comes regularly via the Colbert Report, a dwindling number of Saturday Night Live skits, Bill Maher, Dennis Miller, and others -- that's news. More Americans now get the news from shows pretending to be news as a joke. The others get our news from cynical joke shows pretending to be news, like FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN (CIA), and largely subservient local stations (with precious few exceptions that show signs of independence to small markets).
How the Emmy award got its name

Incredible beaches nowhere near an ocean

Surrounded by red-rock cliffs, Lake Powell has more shoreline than the West Coast. See a 5-acre indoor pool

The shocking new cost of retirement

With less help, young Americans will need to save more than their parents ever did. Figure may surprise you

Curious cows take a liking to the band

What begins as one musician playing to an audience grazing erupts into a lively jam session. What the herd heard

The 10 most hated jobs in America

A survey says employees can't stand these lines of work, but it's not because of the pay. Surprising results
