Sir, I may not agree with your opium use, but I'll defend to the death your right to view pink elephants and little leprechauns and little Stewarts criticising others for being partisan hacks...oh wait, that last one's real.

I agree that if you just watch the Daily Show, you're not going to become very informed. The show really acts as a comedic supplement to the normal, straight news that you might get on a CNN or NY Times. I doubt that many Daily Show viewers only get their news from that single source, because if they did that they probably wouldn't understand half the jokes.

I think irate put it much more eloquently than I could have hoped to.
