On the Campaign Trail

This year's Republican Primary season is in full swing.  For those like me who love to watch the the political intrigue unfold, being without 24 hour cable news is a difficult thing.  What did we ever do without CNN and Fox News?  My TV features tonight shine a more comedic light onto the news of the day, while my Movie features a comedic look at the entire primary election process.

Again, all the TV show streams will be available free on their networks website, and the movies will be available from Netflix streaming. I do not endorse or advocate illegal streams or downloads.

Television Spotlight

The Colbert Report - Comedy Central
The Daily Show - Comedy Central

Both of these shows take a satirical look at not only politics, but the news in general and how it is reported on the 24 hour news networks.  While most of what is said is purely for laughs, I find it quite interesting that the news that they do comment on is accurate and more interesting to watch than CNN, MSNBC, or Fox News.

The Daily Show Stream

Both of these shows have the last few weeks of episodes available.

Netflix Movie Spotlight

One of my all time favorite political movies, Primary Colors is an almost eerie veiled look into the Clinton Campaign of 1992 during...you guessed it...Primary season.  John Travolta does a superb job at making the part of Governor Jack Stanton seem surreal and yet down to earth at the same time.  This movie doesn't split hairs. It shows the good and the bad of the political process, showing the juxtaposition of who we all want our politicians to be with who they actually are when the cameras are turned off.

Netflix streaming services are only $7.99 per month and you receive so much programming between Movies and TV shows it's a great bang for your buck.  (It works out to .26 cents a day)  If you don't already subscribe you can sign up HERE
