Let's face it: The Daily Show blows now, and not in a good way. Comedy Central's fake news has turned into The Capitol Steps for Baby Boomers and Gen Xers. It's the kind of programming progressives and over-educated ilk claim to find hilarious. That is to say, it's the kind of programming they all agreed en masse to find hilarious. And if you watch the show every night, you know that that's not a reactionary statement.

The Colbert Report, however, is all kinds of awesome. Stephen Colbert's Daily Show spin-off is one of the best shows on TV right now. Which is why we were thrilled to see former executive vice president and editor of the Chronicle, now editor-at-large, Phil Bronstein appear on the show last night.

He discussed (the death of) the media and journalism. Check it out. (Bronstein makes his appearance at 14:25.)
