NYT on Stewart
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
This was in the New York Times yesterday:
"Many younger voters are turning to the "The Daily Show" for their news analysis, and are better served there than on much of what purports to be real news on cable."
I know that the first part is true, but this is the first time I've heard anyone (expecially anyone in the mainstream media) say what I think may be true; which is that The Daily Show provides better analysis than many real news shows. Stewart denies this at every opportunity he gets. What do you think?

I don’t think Jon Stewart asserts or denies that they provide better analysis than other shows. He has, as in his amazing Crossfire appearance, stated that it’s ridiculous for the serious media to criticize his comedy show for not asking sufficiently challenging questions.
