interesting article up... I wonder if its because people just absorb humor better, or because they recognize that our media has betrayed its purpose!

1. The Daily Show is more informative than most "real news" shows.
Have you watched cable news lately? Most of it is pure gossip trash and blowhard pundits giving all kinds of stupid predictions that will be proven wrong almost immediately.

The Daily Show may be humorous, but it does quite often do what real news is supposed to do, it calls out the people in power.

There are not too many shows that really gets people to think about the ridiculous claims that our government make better than the Daily Show does.
