NEW -- by Joe Carter

Confess that you rarely read blogs, listen to talk radio or watch reality television, and most people will make no general assumptions about your intelligence. But admit that you never watch television news, rarely listen to radio news broadcasts and only read newspapers on Sundays (and then only the comics page), and the reaction will be markedly different. You will automatically be pegged as a being ill-informed, out-of-touch, and possibly even anti-intellectual.

But what is it about daily news that is worthy of such veneration?
