As most of you know, I've got my head buried in entertainment news all day and so — I'm not going to lie — sometimes when I turn on Comedy Central at night at watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report I'm definitely looking to learn about the news of the day from comedians.
I felt a little less guilty about this when I read a recent New York Times profile of Jon Stewart that calls his show "a genuine cultural and political force," and notes that in a study about the most admired journalists in America, Jon Stewart came in fourth place.

Stephen Colbert Is Running for President
And I'm not even kidding!
