I think that the segments where Jon Stewart interviews people are real news. He is an excellent discussion-format host. The other parts of the show are entertainment. On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 1:23 PM, William Bowen wrote: > >> One is a fake news that many on this list think is real, the other is

Sam, The Daily Show does not promote itself as a news program. It is a Comedy Parody show. Jon Stewart always says so. the Colbert Report also does not promote itself as a news program, neither does Jay Leno,Conan O'Brien or Saturday Night Live. Your analogy is quite ridiculous. Unless you are

I'd say that's true for the clips they show, obviously, but not for the interviews. I remember, for instance, Mike Huckabee coming off as very likable and he had a very smooth, engaging interview with Stewart. And for all her protests to the contrary, he went very easy on Lynn Cheney. I haven't be

That is pretty much exactly how I expected those kinds of interviews went down.. Institutions that go on the Daily Show "just to get their message out there"...need to really think twice...because the Daily Show is the one that is going to be framing your message to whatever they want it to be.
