libertarian-A person who advocates liberty, especially in regard to thought or conduct.
socialism-The belief that all property should be held by the state or in common. Since most libertarian socialists are anarchists they believe in property being held in common, meaning anyone can use what ever they want whenever they feel like it.
Basically, while libertarian capitalists believe all force and coercion is wrong unless used to defend one's person or property libertarian socialists believe all force and coercion is wrong unless used to defend one's person, but not one's property since all property was originally founded on theft and relies on state coercion. Without state coercion capitalists would have to create private organizations (basically, miniature states) to enforce property 'rights'. Libertarian capitalists ignore the fact that companies would monopolize land and exclude certain companies, eventually leading to vast tracts of private property that function like modern states do.

As epitomized by The Colbert Report and the Daily Show, a form of journalism designed specifically to appeal to popular cultural elements and entertain. The informative aspect is highly variable from cleverly satirical to nothing more than pulp journalism.
The News Hour is informative but a bit dry. I prefer libertainment like the Colbert Report that lampoons while presenting the major happenings around the nation.
