Time Magazine conducted a poll. “Now that Walter Cronkite has passed away,” they asked, “who is America’s most trusted newscaster?” The results will undoubtedly depress the broadcast networks’ anchors:
7% Katie Couric
19% Charlie Gibson
29% Brian Williams
44% Jon Stewart
For god’s sake, man, even Jon Stewart wouldn’t call himself a “newscaster.” He’s a comedian, damn it. Based on that, the poll is flawed for not including Carrot Top and Andy Dick.
Katie Couric must have been suicidal after learning that 6 times as many Americans trust a comedian with the news than trust her.
Time provides a dandy little map across which you can scroll your cursor to see state-by-state results of the poll.
Hang in there, Katie. You got 65% of the vote in Iowa.

This stewart idiot (may be I shouldn't call him an idiot because that's an insult to the other regular idiots) thinks that he is the big thing today. But then again I'm not surprised that he is the #1 because all the other liberal newscasters are comedians anyway and this one just happens to be a better comedian.
He's not funnier then Olbermann, but what sad about that is that Jonathan Leibowitz IS TRYING to be funny, Olby is funny by accident.
that really tells you something about todays media, when a comedian gets voted best most reliable newscaster. Im fired up, what about oreilly or rush or how about some hannity, or best yet that stephen colbert guy. He is as liberal as they come, ive only seen clips of his show but he lets those liberals have it. He is the next best thing to bill oreilly but bill is my man.
