The Daily Show

The Daily Show was never intended to be taken as a serious news show. They've always touted themselves as 'Fake News'. The basis for their stories are true, however their take on them is anything but the truth.

When Jon Stewart first took over, it was pretty good. They focused more on the comedy, and less on the political fiasco. Now since they've won a couple emmys, they've focused more on the political aspects, and less on the comedy.

That's why I skip The Daily Show, and go to The Colbert Report. That show is totally focused on the comedy, with a political background. The way it should be if you're going to stick it on Comedy Central.

The only reason that The Daily Show is still on the air, is because they have a dedicated fanbase that has been watching it since the Kilborn days, and it still wins the show emmys. Colin Quinn has had two shows focused on Politics after the Daily Show, and they've disappeared faster than his stint on Saturday Night Live. Steven Colbert has his Daily Show stint to back him up, as well as his focus on comedy rather than politics.

So IMO, skip The Daily Show, and wait for The Colbert Report. Although it comes on the same time as Family Guy on Cartoon Network, so I wait for the 1:30 replay. ;)

The one thing that really pisses me off, is that they show these shows over and over and over again. Can't they find anything else to fill their lineups?

I'm not sure that it's necessarily right-wing, but I look to The Wall Street Journal to balance out the leftist excesses of The Post, the NYT, and NPR.

Yeah, especially the Saturday WSJ :bigass:
 
I like Jon Stewart, He's funny as hell but I, of course, do not like The Daily Show.

I don't think that TDS is worse than any show of the same format in the UK, it's just different. American humor is just well, better, in my opinion. However, I'll give you Eddie Izzard, every time I watch his in drag stand up show I laugh my ass off. That guy has a real gift.

Yes, they need to dust off old Viva Variety episodes!
 
I take it you're a leftist. Because you've just listed two incredibly biased sources of news.

Well if you're looking for right-wing news parody, we have FOX news. I personally like the Daily Show and Stewart goes after the Dems too. Unlike the UK, with numerous political parties with varying degrees of control, in the US you only have two and the one with the most political power will be the one that get's the focus. Yes Stewart is liberal but if you had a Dem in the White House, he'd being going after that Dem with equal glee.
 
Hey Mentalist! You ass mechanic. I thought you were leaving. Don't let the door in you in the arse on the way out. Go hide in your mom's basement but please don't pretend to be a troll. You are clearly out of your league as are most of the felchers here.

You thought I was leaving? Well you didn't "thought" very well did you. I said January 1st, can you not read?
 
In 18000 posts I would say you've probably left several times and almost meant it every time.
 
Fuck off Jack. I'll pull your chain when I want you to perform.
