[Tangerine LaBamba]

4. Do you remember

when the opening announcement for TDS not only stated the day and date, but it also included the line, "The most important news show in the world"?

They stopped it immediately after 9/11.

It's time for them to bring it back..................

8. It appears to be CNN's - from wikipedia...

The disclaimer displayed at the beginning of The Daily Show: Global Edition
The Daily Show airs on various networks worldwide; in addition, an edited version of the show called The Daily Show: Global Edition is produced specifically for overseas audiences. It has been airing outside of the U.S. on CNN International and other overseas networks since September, 2002.<90> This edition runs for half an hour and contains a selection of segments including one guest interview from the preceding week's shows, usually from the Monday and Tuesday episodes. Stewart provides an exclusive introductory monologue in front of an audience, usually about the week's prevalent international news story, and closing comments without an audience present.<91> When aired on CNN International, the broadcast is prefaced by the following announcement, which is also displayed in written form: "The show you are about to watch is a news parody. Its stories are not fact checked. Its reporters are not journalists. And its opinions are not fully thought through."
Between 2001 and 2006, Westwood One broadcast small, 90-second portions of the show to many radio stations across America.<92>

9. That describes CNN perfectly!

CNN is nothing more than right-wing, corporatist propaganda.

Fuck the media traitors! :grr:

11. Are you sure that's not for Fixed Noise?

[ColbertWatcher]

12. It could be something they have to do ...

... to cover their asses with different slander/libel laws.
