Great read...a brief article about The Daily Show, and why it's so great. http://www.salon.com/ent/tv/feature/2003/04/08/stewart/index.html Something occurred to me while reading this. I've seen posters here say Jon Stewart and the show are liberal. I've never gotten that, because I've always considered it a satire on TV news and not politics. But then a thought occurred to me...a show that makes fun of TV news, and is perceived as having a left slant, could that mean that TV news has a right slant?
Honestly, I preferred the pre 9/11 Daily Show when it was entertainment and he didn't have so many political guests on.
