You're aware the Daily Show has described itself as a fake news programme since before Stewart was even running it, right? John Stewart has for years described himself as the most trusted name in fake news?

Show me a transcript of a quote where he claims to be a journalist.

Johnny Carson never tipped his hand, he'd make fun of anyone and everyone, but he never put his personal politics out there and lead with that.

Dick Cavett is an unabashed lefty, I don't mind the guy but he wasn't NEWS.


Jon Stewart says "fake news" but and I'm sorry to have to correct you Kirkland as I know you have such a delicate constitution about being corrected but millennials get their news from these "fake news" shows

For some, the satiric ‘Colbert Report’ is a trusted source of political news | Pew Research Center

...."fake" to Stewart, but "real" to the millennials hence my issues with The Daily Show and Jon Stewart.




But dear heart I sure hope you don't get too upset by my correcting you
