The Daily Show with John Stewart is as good as “real” News, study finds.

My grandma and I love John. And it's true. He is a hero and focuses on the things mainstream media side-steps. So what if it is with humor? It's humor that the media and news is so cautious and focus on only the negative, rarely about the positive.

Thanks John for being real while making us laugh and feel good about ourselves and our country! (You too Colbert!)

IMNSHO, this man is a patriot and American Hero, and is the best journalist on the air today.

Which would you think has more substantive news coverage — traditional broadcast network newscasts or The Daily Show with Jon Stewart?

Would you believe the answer is neither?

Julia R. Fox, assistant professor of telecommunications at Indiana University isn’t joking when she says the popular “fake news” program, which last week featured Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf as a guest, is just as substantive as network coverage.

While much has been written in the media about The Daily Show’s impact, Fox’s study is the first scholarly effort to systematically examine how the comedy program compares to traditional television news as sources of political information.

The fact that a comedian is the best journalist in America is a sad testament to the quality of our news.
