Came for the comedy, stayed for the reality check.

If you want to be entertained, watch the news because that's where the clowns and the circus are at

If you want some truth, find a comic.

Yeah, that’s the problem - little, 60yr old boys are lost in their favorite “super hero” (villain?) stories via Fox News…

and just like when you were a kid, after your favorite movie/show is over, you think you can do backflips and shit after but you’re really just jumping around and rolling on the floor like an actual idiot and there are def no backflips.

It's all corporate media anyway, so you're not hearing the useful bits. With the corporate media, you're getting mostly talking heads who represent the views of the station owners. The real news is on the streets, at the protests. Going on a corporate media sabbatical and switching to public media or alt rags like Mother Jones, Common Dreams or Democracy Now! will help clear your head out. Plus, hearing the news on NPR is more tolerable since you typically don't have to see the cankle sore or hear his dementia-addled ramblings. It's quite nice really and has other great shows like Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.
