Is This News? Dilbert ‘s Scott Adams is Still One Smart Guy![/caption]

Scott Adams is one of the funniest guys in the world. At least I think so.

Is repackaging of news news? You might be tempted to say no, but when The Daily Show does it, many of Jon Stewart’s fans are getting their only news of the day. Sad to say, MSNBC and FoxNews are guilty, too; they spend tons “reporting”, but then their editorial spin is where all the real attention goes. Not “Fair and Balanced” in any of the above cases, especially in the televised versions.

So the value-add becomes the news. It’s what differentiates one version from the next.

Are you adding value?
