Still the best news on television

As I (and many others) have been yelling for years, the Daily Show is the best news on TV.

What's amazing is, it keeps snowballing. After Jon Stewart's Emmy, people have started doing some serious ratings comparisons. The results are astounding:

According to a new ratings report, "The Daily Show draws an average 640,000 views among 18-to-49-year olds. That beats Fox News Channel's 527,000, CNN's 286,000, MSNCB's 162,000 and CNBC's 72,000."

So, basically, Jon Stewart is the most watched "news" program of all the major cable networks.

Man, is that cool. It gives me hope that we have a discerning public that's really sick of bullshit and spin. Sure, Stewart may be much more liberal than me, but he never offends me, because he's an outraged, smart guy. He doesn't pander to sides, he tracks down everything false, foolish, and condescending to the thinking public, he drags it out in the open, and mocks it mericlessly until it's unveiled as the cheap and pathetic sham that it is.

I love that show. Stewart should send a xerox of his ass to CNN.
