Daily Show's Jason Jones on the state of the newspaper business
As old print newspaper reporters, Jason Jones' cutting satire of life inside The New York Times is both painful and funny to watch.

Jones -- who makes fun of a reporters for using landline phones and says his grandma would like a printed newspaper -- ends the piece with a tough joke for executive editor Bill Keller: "What's black and white and red all over?...Your balance sheets."
