I didn't feel good about Jon Stewart's The Daily Show from the very beginning. Jamelle Bouie's postmortem sums up my feelings precisely. I particularly detested his "Rally to Restore Sanity." While I intended to watch it simply to keep up with others, I never got around to watching it by myself. Many people I respect greatly preferred Colbert--despite completely disagreeing with Colbert's stage character. I never got around to watching Colbert by myself either. I have hardly had time to keep up with the real news on Democracy Now!
Of course there isn't much else on corporate TV that does anything better than Stewart either. You just can't expect anything but disinformation from Oligarchy TV. Stewart added a bit of fact and irreverent humor to his fake news show, which made it better than most. But it was still disinformation.
