"Garry Trudeau is the premier American social and political satirist of his time." -Newsweek Doonesbury has managed to be articulate, abrasive, political, compassionate, misunderstood, misprinted, and outrageous - but one thing it's never been is complacent. Garry Trudeau's creation has chronicled American history and culture in a parallel universe. And through it all, Doonesbury has always been honest, entertaining, and thought-provoking.

Too true to be funny.

Gawd, Trudeau nailed it, the audio sounds just like Brian Williams.

Nancy Sculco, you are soo right. Of course, the nation can no longer afford to pay for PBS because it has nothing to do with guns. Not like the money the military spends on Nascar, or army bands, or …
Does anyone remember Don Adams? He did a bit fifty years ago on one of his comedy records: he hosts a ‘World News Roundup’ in which correspondents from around the world introduce themselves and by the time they get back to the anchor man in New York, there is no time left for the news and they have to rush through the roster so each correspondent can ‘sign off’.
Which is what I’ll do now.

The only justification for TV news is the income stream it provides for the hair spray and blow dryer industries.

This is 100% Spot on Correct! I know, as I watch NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, and these are indeed his exact words and the way and oder in which he says them. Today also tells us to tune into NBC Nightly News blah blah blah

CBS? Let’s see, the “C” stands for “commitment…” which brings us to the BS…
As for PBS, it appears they get only a small fraction of their funding from the government these days. Most comes from viewer contributions, and a big chunk (about a third, I think) comes from “foundations and grants,” which is PBS-speak for “corporations.” Which leads to the odd situation of a “NOVA” episode about climate change being funded by David H. Koch. Yes, that Koch.

I stopped listening to news months ago because (1) Just blah, blah, blah as said in previous comments, and (2) I can’t afford to pay over $40.00 a month to stuff I barely watch, (3) I cannot stand those commercials about every physical alilment that can afflict you that run endlessly during the news hours, and (4) I cannot afford to support PBS AND pay $40.00 or more every month. Yep, I see the way of the telly fading off into the horizon before long!

Did someone say commercials? I wonder how the residuals are distributed. Do the comedians who write them or the idiots who star in them get the money? The guys in the Geico commercials (except the blimey lizard) must get rich if they are paid for each presentation on the 24 hour cycle. Would you live under a rock? How can you save 15% on your car insurance when it costs more than that for the commercials. My USAA insurance runs more than 15% less than Geico and the actors in the commercials are in uniform.

Except for PBS I don’t watch news on tv, but I take it Doonesbury is mocking the claims of the big networks to be “exclusive.” And evidently they do manage to exclude from their coverage any news that lies outside the anchor’s personal experience or the interest of their sponsor.
