John Stewart mocked the mainstream media’s habit of picking up every ridiculous anti-Obama non-story distortion and treating it like something newsworthy.

I can’t help but notice the frequency of FOX News and CNN clips in that piece. Considering the ubiquity of those news outlets, it’s no wonder people are as desensitized and jaded with political coverage.

As an aside, I am aware of the irony that I’m perpetuating this vicious cycle insofar as that I’m making a story out of the media making a story out of non-stories. In order to maintain Karmic balance, I’ll compose a piece on Afghanistan and on the immigration issue later today.
