Fox News and MSNBC have been just as guilty of it for just as long, but the difference is they're supposed to be serious journalists.
If you consider The Daily Show your news source, than that's your problem. It's a comedy show, and it's funny. That's all that should matter. God forbid these Stewart and Colbert guys have the nerve to poke fun at the ever so pompous world of politics.
Political satire has always existed, but now overly self serious douchebags are acting like it's total blasphemy.
It's ridiculous.
Stewart and Colbert don't try to be real journalists, but they at least invite intelligent guests onto their programs every now and then, that's more than I can say for anyone else. Like this Mark Levin idiot whom FoxNews are pretty much in love with at the moment.
