I thought this was brilliant. I thought it was very honest too. Comedy is sometimes the clearest of truths. Regardless of the fact that the Daily Show bills itself as fake news, it does not mean that what is said on the show is absolute shit. I believe that if you hold the standards of such a show rigidly to the guidelines of it's genre, you are flat out lying to yourself. As if every point made by this piece is now null and void simply because of the medium it was presented in. PLEASE.
I'm waiting for a bush-backer to come out and say, "Yes, he did say all of that. No, none of the important points were taken out of context." C'mon... it's ok to admit you're wrong sometimes.
