"Well, that's the last time I try to be a good sport", Keller said. "Among the people who would miss us most would be the wise-guy pundits and scriptwriters for satirical TV shows, because they riff on the news we produce."

Well thats funny. I thought the point of the Daily Show was to show just how full of crap the media is. They got played just like the rest of the MSM and they think they are something special.

Plane crash victims:
Mel Carnahan, D-MO, Oct. 16, 2000 (popular governor of MO in his first run for the Senate.)
Paul Wellstone, D-MN Oct. 25, 2002 (popular 2-termer, running for his third term)

..both within a couple of weeks of their senate elections.

"It was partly the insatiable desire for scoops people in the Administration were feeding about the potential threat in Iraq," Keller responded.

What's a bigger scoop than "The administration is lying about Iraq"? I call BS.
