"When Americans last year were asked to name the journalist they most admired, showing up at No. 4 on the list was a comedian. Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central and former master of ceremonies at Academy Award shows, tied in the rankings with anchormen Brian Williams, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather and cable host Anderson Cooper."

From the page: "On April 16, the evening of the shootings, Stewart began his broadcast by stating that the show was not going to focus on the incident because of the desire to keep things light and funny. Stewart began, "Obviously for anybody who has been tuned to the television today, a horrible, horrible day. I have absolutely nothing to add that is insightful or anything. I will just do what I always do when faced with something that is that powerfully damaging to the emotional core: I will begin to repress it, and I will swallow it. And I imagine that thirty years from now someone will spill juice and I will freak the f*** out. So to that end, let's move on as though the world is ok.""

Interesting take on The Daily Show. There is an implied criticism of an anti-administration bias, even though the writer admits that guest interviews are pretty well balanced.

Jon Stewart has said it himself, he is a comedian, a funny man. A comic.

A pretty good article comparing The Daily Show with the American news media. Impartial, thought out, and researched (with sources listed!). I have to disagree with the bit towards the end about sections covered though; I feel like the news media spends much more time covering celebrities and entertainment then Stewart or Colbert do.

An uncommonly impartial look at the Daily Show

Interesting analysis of a year's broadcast of the Daily Show. Slightly misguided in expecting news material, I would classify it as more of a 'news discussion' - on More4 in the UK it's broadcast straight after the ordinary news.

The Pew Research center has done a year-long analysis of the Daily Show and noted some interesting things.

from the page:Overall, "The Daily Show" news agenda is quite close to those of cable news talk shows." and at least we know the d.s. is working to be funny...the talk show are so ignorant of real news that they give me my laugh for the day while they attempt to be serious..... how can anyone be considered serious news casters when they do storties about the *impact* of mylie cyrus showing her back to the world? *serious journalism* is full of fifi's and fijo's
