Yeah, if the Daily Show had only introduced me to Lewis Black, I'd still be eternally grateful. But it's so much more than that. It's funny, but it's funny because they ask the questions that everybody else just dances around.
I read an interview with Stewart on the NPR site in which he said that real journalists often tell him they wish that they could do what the Daily Show does. In other words, a "fake news show" often gives a better picture of reality than the 'real' press are allowed to. That's a pretty sad, and pretty scary, statement.
