Jon Stewart asks his "depressing riddle" about newspapers

"What's black and white and completely over?" Jon Stewart asked last night on the "Daily Show."

We knew the answer before he said it.

Here's the video.

It smarts.  But good satire is that way.

Is it me, or is the whole idea of a newspaper just a big joke to everyone but journalists and a dwindling number of readers from yesterday? Stewart's show always seemed targeted at a progressive, educated 18 to 30-something audience. If this is what they think of us, we need to realize what such jokes say about our audiences' news consuming habits. The future of printed news is bleak, oh so very bleak.
