Study shows The Daily Show is as substantive as CBS Evening News

No, I'm not kidding.

From a study done by an assistant professor at Indiana University:

"The Daily Show is much funnier than traditional newscasts, but a new study from Indiana University says it has the same amount of meat on its bones when it comes to coverage of the news. The brand of news coverage Jon Stewart and the rest of The Daily Show's staff brings to the airwaves is just as substantive as traditional news programs like World News Tonight and the CBS Evening News, according to the study conducted by IU assistant professor of telecommunications Julia R. Fox and a couple of graduate students."

"The news automatically becomes the real world for the TV user and is not a substitute for reality, but is itself an immediate reality." - Marshall McLuhan, 1978

The Daily Show shatters the facade, exposes the wizard of oz and reveals the emperor with no clothes. Stewart/Colbert '08! (a bipartisan ticket, of course)
