I still surprised that anyone actually took the Daily Show seriously as a source of reliable news or valid opinions. It was run on Comedy Central, and the fact that the muppets hosting it managed to con so many people in believing that they were legitimate sources of social and political commentary (as opposed to the satire it was meant to be) was mind-boggling.

I enjoyed The Daily Show back in the 90s/00s. They talked about more than just politics but when they did touch on politics, they generally did so by taking the piss out of everyone.

But then they gradually developed some weird egotistical political imperative and it was all downhill from there. It's a shame.
