Salon talks about how Grey’s Anatomy is “just elaborate, expensive porn for women“, which would explain why I couldn’t stand the 30 seconds that I watched once.

The Toronto Star asks whether Jon Stewart is helping or hurting.

But is his sarcasm turning those who watch him the most — young adults — into giant cynics with a diminishing trust in politicians and the institutions of democracy?

One new study, published this month in the journal American Politics Research, says yes. Reseachers have connected The Daily Show to lower opinions of politicians and greater cynicism toward the mainstream media and the electoral process itself.

My own opinion? It’s not Jon Stewart that’s making people cynical…governments and news media are doing that all on their own; Jon Stewart just calls bullshit. Maybe, though, he’s speeding things along…
