That people are turning to The Daily Show as a source of news shows the horrible state of journalism in America. Heck, the horrible state of media in general.
Over the years, there has been an ever growing void in mainstream media as the race to the lowest common denomenator is run. I've watched in dismay as The Learning Channel drifted from such insightful programs as 'Connections' to showing 'Date Patrol' and 'What Not To Wear'. News has drifted from 'the people's right to know' to 'info-tainment'. It's despicable.
It's high time someone cried out, 'The Emperor has no clothes.' Bravo Jon Stewart.
