ONE love, blood, life
One of the top 5 or 6 shows on TV, period, let alone political satirical programs.
It's kind of sad that a show mocking typical media coverage of world events gives the most honest depiction of the news on television. However, that only means it's proving its point.
Stewart is completely perfect for the job too. I think he has an uncanny perspective how far he can push things before crossing the line, on what can mock and what he can't mock. Not to mention he's hilarious. The other anchors on the show...Stephen Cobare(sp?) and Rob whatshisname, are both great too. I get the feeling a lot of people don't appreciate the talent it takes to keep a stone straight face while totally mocking the hell out of whatever the subject is, or that that talent is percisely what adds the pinch, the edginess to the show.
And when Lewis Black, one of the great topical standups of the day, makes an appearance, that's just a bonus.
All hail the Daily Show.
