There is a little clip in this that talks about the riots in Egypt and how social media hand an impact on the situation. I know they are kind of poking fun at the situation but like we talked in class, The Daily Show and shows like it are some of the ways that people of this generation get the news.

    Matt, I'm so glad you posted this, because when I watched this show I was thinking, "Oh, I hope my class is watching this 'cause it's so related to what we were talking about in class." Jon Stewart does a great job highlighting important issues even in his satirical style, doesn't he?

    I agree Dr. Wilson. For some people, this is the only way they get their news.
