Three Cheers for Jon Stewart

A syndication deal has just been struck to allow Jon Stewart’s ‘The Daily Show’ to be shown in Britain (story here) and I wanted to use a brief amount of space to send a rousing round of applause to Mr. Stewart for this newest accomplishment. Though, I must say, if the show keeps progressing in the same fashion it has over the past couple of years, it stands in jeopardy of losing the ‘fake news’ title. The news stories they air may be presented with irony and a touch of sardonic commentary, but I’ll be damned if they aren’t putting out a more realistic perception of what’s going on in this country than all of the other ‘real’ news stations combined. Again, big cheers for Mr. Stewart and all involved in the show’s creation…keep fighting the good fight!... Jage
