Sadly enough, in recent months the most dependable and unbiased names in news are none other than Emmy-awarded comedy shows The Colbert Report and The Daily Show. The two hosts, Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert, going along with their brow-raising bravado in the pictures above, have become crusaders in the name of fair and (mostly) unbiased news.
The worst offender is none other than Fox News. It has been known for some time that this news station is right-wing biased, often inflates topics way out of proportion, and sometimes shushes up important topics if they show Republicans in an unfavorable light.
For example, check out this little gem.
Fox has also recently come under fire for their lack of publicity on the Georgia-Russia conflict, attempting to maintain that everything was under control instead of sufficiently covering the events.
In response to these biased and offensive news sources, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report have become a preferred alternative. Each show manages to sufficiently and hilariously cover the main topics of the day in 30 minutes while keeping their facts straight (Obviously with the exception of intentionally silly material).
So check it out- its a laugh, and it gives you a chance to hear both sides of the story.
