I'm amazed at all the comments in a matter of a day!

I want to address three things (1) where else can they get the news besides the New York Times (2) the fake left/right paradigm and (3) news analysis.
(1) Cent could, if he wanted, go to the Real News for other sources of information. In fact, if he wanted to give the other side of the economic debate with stimulus and what not, he could also check out: http://dailyreckoning.com/.
(2) Cent consistently talks about how the Democrats don't get it, how Obama doesn't get it. However, he's also stated that the democrats want to follow orders from special interests and blame the republicans for obstructionism. He sometimes states that both sides work for corporate America but than also falls back on republicans are evil and democrats don't get it. I wish Cent would stay consistent and call out the democrats for being corporatist every time they give into republicans.
(3) I love news analysis, it's a reason I'm a fan of the Daily Show. However, Cent has sent Ana out on the field before and had interviews with many different types of people. His show has done journalism. Regardless, even if we just said it was limited to analysis, their analysis it's as strong as it should be. Look at this analysis from Znet on The New York Times: http://www.zcommunications.
