Wasn't it just wonderful.

I congratulate him on slamming real journalists over their reporting. It's pretty easy when your own style of reporting has no hazards, because you have maintained throughout your career that you are a comedian only and therefore not constrained by journalistic responsibility.

I like him, as a comedian. I consider the show to be a comedy show. Unfortunately many younger people consider it to be actual news.

The thing about that is that his show has repeatedly been shown to educate viewers on the actual facts of the 'news' far better than the "real journalists" you would put before him. He presents the news in comedy fashion, but still in a much clearer, often more in depth, and more honest way than nearly any "news organization" operating today.

So it IS actual news, and more so than most "news" shows. Incredibly more so than, lets say, Fox, which is worse than watching no news at all, proven time and time again.

No, a couple of polls have shown his viewers to be more knowledgeable about current events, not taking into account other possible sources of their information. Another poll showed the exact opposite regarding his coverage of the 2004 elections. The show's writers and Mr. Stewart himself both do not consider the program to be a source of actual news per their own statements.

The show covers news that it's creative talent wishes to satirize, which means if we are going to criticize Fox for skewing the outlook of it's viewers, we must point the same finger at TDS.

Ahhh. I have not seen that targeted 2004 election poll, only the other polls and studies about overall current events. What those polls showed was that those that watch his show are (on average) more informed than those who don't, and yes, that could be from other sources, but it was those other sources' viewers/readers his viewers were being compared to, so at least his viewers are more curious and better at filtering BS than those that don't watch him, if they aren't getting better information directly from him.

Yes, I do understand he does not purport or even try to be a news show, which makes it all the sadder to me that, in reality, he is apparently the best "news" show our country has to offer these days...and he does that while being a comedy show. That's TERRIBLE, I hope you agree, and is much more a statement about the sad state of "news" organizations rather than his investigatory prowess.

If he were trying to be a news show, you could point that finger. Because he simply creates the most informative (or at least the most curiosity provoking) show without being or claiming to be "news", he is totally immune from that pointing finger. Fox, conversely, does claim to be straight "news", and it's viewers have repeatedly been shown to be less informed than those that watch/listen/read no "news" at all, far less informed than those who watch Stewart. Make of that what you will.
