congratulations. you get it. would you like a gold star to go along with that?

the question at hand is not whether or not YOU get the daily show but whether or not the general public does. is it actually fostering worthwhile public political discussion or dumbing it down?

to some people the fact that any sort of discourse is taking place is a victory and from that regard the shows are effective. for anyone with a clue about what's going on talking to someone who gets the entirety of their political views from the daily show is like trying to teach your dog abstract math.

like it or not i think it's safe to say the amount of people who DO chose to adhere to satirical views of politics has increased in line with the ratings for those shows.
