Hits & Misses
The Daily Show's fake news steals ratings from the real news, RadioShack cashes in on number portability, and more.
By Owen Thomas, Michael V. Copeland, April 2004 Issue


Fake and scathing 1, fair and balanced 0. CNN and MSNBC have gotten used to losing to Fox News. But during the Democratic primaries, an unexpected foe stole the ratings crown from all three. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart, a mock news program airing on Viacom's (VIA) Comedy Central, attracted more viewers at 11 p.m. than any of the cable news channels in the last two weeks of January, outdoing Fox by 20 percent even as the news network was running live campaign coverage. Stewart's fake news show has won ever-growing audiences with help from real politico guests like John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards.

4. He is my favorite.

National Journal repeats his monologue on their daily Hotline. If I miss it I can get some of it there,. I fall asleep a lot after 10:00pm. They also do Leno, Letterman and a couple of other guys. Mahar sometimes but not often enough.

5. You see, because "The Daily Show" is a comedy

it can tell the truth. What's funnier than that?

6. I count too "fake"s and a "mock" in just the short snippit above...

will somebody tell Mr. Thomas and Mr.Copeland to relax...we KNOW it isn't "real"...but you have to know what IS real in order to get the joke. They act as if it is TDS that is somehow misleading America, but that we should all trust Fox, because Fox isn't fake...but, but, Oh, nevermind...
