The Daily Show

Brian Williams: Why Jon Stewart Is Good For News - In short, I agree. Jon does have an obvious point of view, none the less I agree that his show serves a purpose. I've seen Jon verbally eviscerate people holding diverse points of view. This show picks fun at lazy, misleading, and/or disingenuous reporters and public figures of all persuasions and that's a good thing. Reporters and public figures should worry about someone turning their words in to a joke. It makes reporting better. It makes "talking points" more accurate and honest. I wish there were more shows out there that clarified the news by simply pointing out absurdities. I wish we had coverage like it in North East Wisconsin.
