Jon Stewart gives the general public knowledge of current events, whereas the basic news channels and shows do not. Glenn Beck was merely reiterating generic republican views on how he should keep his estate. The CNN video with Michael Moore was just an argument. It was clear that no progress was being made and watching the video any further would result in a migraine. Speidi is just a sad representation of where Americans views of "news" are today. Stuck up on celebrities, we have fixed are brains to believe that this pop culture crap is vital to our everyday well-being.
The Daily Show, while being biased at times, is an excellent source of current events. They have discovered a way to deliver the news to the average American without it being too boring. In this case a clever title: Rape-Nuts, drew my attention. This video was no different than what is expected of the Daily Show. The Republican target this time was Senator Al Franken and his anti-rape bill. Jon Stewart uses tidbits of newscasts to broadcast the "true" elements of the story to his audience, and he adds his two sense in at the end of each clip. While his delivery method may be biased, it does its job in generating viewers.
