DO NOT BUY ANDERSON'S BOOK!
DO watch the (God bless what's left of America) Jon Stewart goof him on this video clip. The audience gets Jon's read before Anderson does!
HUFFPO
Also on Jon: JON STEWART, ENEMY OF DEMOCRACY?
This is not funny: Jon Stewart and his hit Comedy Central cable show may be poisoning democracy.
Two political scientists found that young people who watch Stewart's faux news program, "The Daily Show," develop cynical views about politics and politicians that could lead them to just say no to voting.
Comedian and fake-news anchorman Jon Stewart makes the already cynical viewers of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" even more cynical -- and possibly less likely to vote, two political scientists at East Carolina University say.
That's particularly dismaying news because the show is hugely popular among college students, many of whom already don't bother to cast ballots.
WHOLE ARTICLE: WASHPO
BUNNY NOTE: DUH, MAYBE ANYONE WITH A BRAIN IS ALREADY CYNICAL AND PERHAPS IT'S THE ACTIONS OF THE POLITICIANS WHICH IS CREATING THEIR CYNICISM, NOT A TALENTED COMEDIAN WHO SIMPLY CHRONICLES THEIR EXPLOITS, CATCHES THEM IN IDIOTIC LIES AND HOLDS THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE? JON MUST REALLY HAVE "THE MAN" WORRIED FOR AN ARTICLE LIKE THIS TO APPEAR SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COMMIE PINKO WASHPO!

Let's hope "The Man" stays worried! They should have started a long time ago, but they've been too busy thumping their Alpha Male chests and dancing over our corpses for the last two years...
And the "non-voting" issue was a problem long before the "Daily Show" ever started...remember the MTV Madonna "Vote-Or-I'll-Give-You-A-Spanky" ads? Even 15 years ago, voter turnout was an issue.
Is this Carolina university ACCREDITED? Are we sure it's not Bob Jones in a mustache disguise...? :-)
I just wonder if by chance either of those two scientists is named Jeff Gannon.
