The Daily Shows Coverage of the Media's coverage of this was hilarious.
Especially TDS' version of the "man on the street" interviews.
A political cartoon that many Americans aren't likely to "get" does not deserve the kind of coverage it is getting. Especially when one of our dumb downed news (The USA Today)sources polls it's readers and finds this:
Quote:
While a majority — 53% — identify Obama as a Christian, 16% of conservative Republicans, 16% of white evangelical Protestants and 19% of rural Americans believe the Illinois senator is Muslim.
About a third of Americans said they don't know what Obama's religious beliefs are, and 9% of that group said it's because they've heard different information about his faith.
Confusion over the candidate's religion crosses party lines.
Fourteen percent of all Republicans, 10% of Democrats and 8% of independents think he's Muslim, according to the survey.
Link Colbert, however, "thinks" it's great of course.
