Actually in the last few years the research shows that getting news from comedy central makes you more informed than watching any other news channel. I know this because I am into politics.

Top Gear is entertaining and I wouldn't buy a car because they say it's good or bad, but they do get better cars than anybody else and have interesting tips that you might not have been aware of. If they tested a 370Z and said the oil was overheating and I hadn't bought the Z already, I would not have bought it after that. I would be driving SLK350.
