I don’t. But I do find them more aligned with my interests elsewhere. Much more so than Google, Facebook, Samsung, or the other monsters out there. Pick your poison.

You don't have to pick a team.

(... and the story is flagged.) In case anyone missed his Colbert appearance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSfejgwbDQ8&t=171s

That's not the money clip, this is:

Jon Stewart has never been a journalist, he's always been an entertainer. The Daily Show was not news, it was entertainment. His current iteration is worse because he now he pretends to do real news where before he was self aware of being entertainment, it was part of the joke. But he isn't different from Tucker or Maddow. He's now just cranking the Rage Machine to get his nut. The outrage on your part is just as false as the outrage he spews. He's entertainment. His entertainment should be controlled and owned by the people paying for it. There's no editorial independence to protect because it's not journalism.

You think this is outrage? I think you're missing the forest for the trees.
