Last night at the Waldorf-Astoria, Dan Rather picked up "broadcast journalism's most prestigious honor," a Peabody. Jon Stewart also picked up "broadcast journalism's most prestigious honor," a Peabody. Dan won for Abu Ghraib reporting; Jon for "Indecision 2004." (Meanwhile, the entire cast of Sesame Street was honored for their in-depth expose of Oscar the Grouch's heroin habit.)

It's official: funny fake news and un-funny fake news are truly the New News. Makes reporting so much easier, really. -KEW
