Mainstream Media Gets it Right for Once (or twice)

“American is Back!” by Stephen Colbert, and USA Today’s MotoGP report

Okay, so it’s somewhat difficult to call Comedy Central’s Colbert Report mainstream media, but it’s hard to beat for quality infotainment. This video Colbert shot on his iPhone of a guy wheelying in the Lincoln Tunnel is priceless, though. He says “America is back,” but we’d argue America never left. Colbert just finally got to see how badass motorcycles are, firsthand. Glad we could cheer him up.

Add to this USA Today’s big story about MotoGP, with its particular focus on our Americans in the series: Nicky Hayden, Ben Spies and Colin Edwards. Just another reason to be proud.

As for the Colbert video, the only remaining question we have is: Where was Cernicky yesterday?
