>>you do know that viewers of The Daily Show are far more informed on current issues then their counterparts that watch Faux News?
So what? And I'm still waiting for someone to tell me why this thread is now about Faux News. What happened to O'Reilly?
TDS may contain many undisputed facts, but their _conclusions_ based on those facts are dubious, to say the least. Not to mention context is almost never considered. And, as I said, this fact is easily ignored because it's only supposed to be funny, not true. How many of these supposedly educated people realize they are being profoundly manipulated through comedy? Evidently, none. kj.
