I like his takes on the Mass Media. Everybody thinks the media is so "liberal," and yet they are are all run by some of the most conservative, capitalistic groups on the planet, and none of them ever truly challenge the status quo. Everything is framed in a simplistic good/bad, black/white, Republican/Democrat fashion and the bigger questions about the Big Picture go unanswered. Like the way our entire government is fricked up but we will never do anything about it because everything is Obama's fault or W's fault. The alternative is always found from within the broken system and nothing ever changes.

Jon Stewart pointed this out not too long ago. He showed clips of Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN talking heads asking every guest they interviewed, "Is this a good or bad thing?"
It was brilliant.
