Although I doubt that anything that I write will change your mind (does anyone's mind ever get changed by the arguments in this forum?), the Daily Show is most definitely satire and they have a good record of lampooning everyone in power regardless of party.
This thread evokes the whole "athlete/role model" thing, with one crucial difference. No kid dreaming of a career as a journalist is following in the footsteps of Jon Stewart...now, a potential comedian is another story.
