I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.

Well, okay, they’re more knowledgeable about the election than those who don’t watch…
Young people who watched The Daily Show scored 48% correct on the campaign knowledge test while young people who did not watch any late-night comedy scored 39% correct. Meanwhile, young people who watched four of more days of network news scored 40% correct, equally frequent cable news viewers 48% correct and newspaper readers 46% correct.
I’m a news junkie- I could watch CNN/Fox/MSLMNOP all day and not see stuff Jon Stewart covers on The Daily Show. The bottom line is catching someone lying is compelling television, and there is a wealth of material coming out of this administration daily.
Will the mainstream media ever catch on? Stewart has the balls to call bullshit. That’s what regular reporters are supposed to do, but somehow (I suppose because 9/11 changed everything) it seems it can only be done on a comedy show.
