Oh, JibJab, You Minstrels of Truth and Humor
I love JibJab. The bottom line is, JibJab’s funny, because there is truth in what it says.
For those unfamiliar with JibJab, it’s best described as a web site that serves up humor through a satirical look at the world.
It generally has a non-partisan political flavor to it and that’s another reason why it’s funny — it doesn’t limit itself to a political philosophy. Everything is fair game.
So what does this have to do with Turning News into Knowledge? Well, its latest and greatest Flash production has to do with the news, and it’s hilarious.
It’s called What We Call The News and it highlights in a funny and satirical way what I have blogged about and others such as David Mindich have been saying all along — you have to sift through a lot of garbage to get to the real news, and that isn’t good.
That said, here at MediaMiser, not only do we still have to sift, but we also have to somehow take into account the garbage that is considered news.
