I've generally considered The Daily Show to be as much "fake news" as Fox News is "fair and balanced". In the end, however much cynical comedy gold The Daily Show produces, it is no more fake than any other cable news resource - it offers, like every other news program, a unique perspective on an issue.
That it effectively debunked the National Journal talking point should not detract from the comedy of watching Jon Stewart walk all over the Republican talking head he had on his show at the time.
