The Daily Show and Colbert Report might be the most effective media watchdogs around right now. Night after night, they manage to satirize both the politicians and the media organizations who cover them with an acid tongue. As you may remember, Glenn Beck, one of their favorite targets (and my least favorite human beings), held a rally at the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of MLK's "I Have a Dream Speech" a few weeks ago.
Not to be outdone, last night, Stewart and Colbert
announced a rally more or less in response to Beck's. Below, peep their announcements on their respective shows last night. Pretty funny stuff and from everything I've read, this thing is actually happening, though I think that their biggest challenge will be convincing people it's not a joke. Here's to hoping they get a solid turnout.
