The Daily Show won for its election coverage. 60 Minutes II won for their story on Abu Ghraib, produced by Mary Mapes and reported by Dan Rather.

Hee-hee.

Bill O'Reilly never won a Peabody...but the pot smoking slacker show did...hmmmmm

Damn it all. :P

about his two Peabody Awards that he never actually won while simultaneously declaring them irrelevant and liberally-biased, and his head STILL won't explode from the dissonance.

congrats to mary mapes & jon stewart

:toast:

I'm glad she won the Peabody.

won also.
