Dear Random Pixels:

Why doesn't someone come up with a conservative equivalent of the Daily Show on Comedy Central?

I don't think Jon Stewart is at all funny and he certainly doesn't represent the majority of Americans like myself, who are patriotic and God-fearing.

Dear Confused:

Where have you been for the past few years?

There is a conservative equivalent of Comedy Central.

As a matter of fact, there's an entire network that carries programming that's just as funny as anything on Comedy Central or the Daily Show.....and it's on 24 hours a day.

It's called the FOX News channel. It's hilarious.

Why just the other day, a morning anchor on FOX News named Gretchen Carlson, (above left) compared her job of being a vapid TV host to that of being President of the United States!
“This is what being president of the United States is all about. It’s these tough, huge monumental decisions. It’s not about how you run a campaign. It’s not about whether or not you’re popular. It’s not about whether or not you’re a celebrity, good looking, tall or short. It’s in the time of crisis making these executive decisions

"It’s just like our job– from a day-to-day basis, a lot of times where there’s big breaking news, we just sort of roll along. But what’s the role of an anchor during huge breaking news? Remember growing up? You tune to the television, and during that one moment during the year, they would have to carry a story all alone. It’s the same thing as being the President of the United States.”
Listen to her in the clip below starting at 2:15 and see if you don't agree that FOX News is as funny as Comedy Central!

FOX News is, quite simply, a bottomless reservoir of ideas for the writers of the Daily Show.

  1. Dear Confused,

    You and the rest of the extreme right don't represent a majority of Americans. You don't even represent enough Americans to get 20 minutes on Comedy Central.

    Learning how basic math works will help you avoid these embarrassing mistakes of fact in the future.
