Why I like Chocolate News more than D.L. breaking the news
There are two TV shows currently skewering news from a black perspective -- David Alan Grier's Chocolate News on Comedy Central and D.L. Hughley Breaks the News on CNN. But only one seems to really nail its targets so far.
To kick off what I hope will be a fun weekend, here are clips from each -- decide for yourselves which works better. (WARNING: The Comedy Central show has some bleeped bad language!) *
