Satire pervades the web, seeping into mailboxes and mainstream news like a spilled cup of coffee. It stains and it won't go away.

Speaking of that interview...

...apparently the results hold up over time. In an interview with Danna Young of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, we discovered something about the smarts of people watching the likes of The Daily Show. (Actually, we discovered many things, and for that I suggest you check out the interview.)

Now, we hear from the Pew Research Center (via Greg Mitchell at HuffPo) that news satire show viewers did better on a current events test than did so called "real news" show viewers. Kinda makes you think, don't it?

That was a good interview, sir. It would be really interesting to hear Ms. Young's take on the new numbers.
