I was worried that he'd have nothing funny to say post-Bush, but it turns out there's still plenty of moronic stuff going on for him to jab at. Kudos.
But I still find myself watching CNN. Does a better news channel exist? Do we have real news anymore?

When the news is dense to the point of comedy, and the comedy is factual to the point of being news, we are in a steady decline.

Which is why I have no problem with CNN fact-checking SNL. Since so many people are getting their news through shows like SNL and TDS, it's important that someone separates news and comedy (though admittedly not AS important as some other things).
Our generation doesn't remember, but the idea of getting news from the television used to be ridiculous. It still is. You have to read newspapers (online of course) to have any idea of what's really going on in the world. Get an RSS feed from your favorite paper and peruse at your leisure.
With The Daily show they go into depth and their interviews are thought provoking and leave watchers thinking and they are not afraid to bust some balls like this. As long as they continue to be this deep and well made they will continue to win that Emmy while every single other late night show looses.
