A journalism think tank studying "The Daily Show" doesn't believe many people get their news from Jon Stewart -- because otherwise they wouldn't get the jokes.

If no one understood sarcasm, then the art of sarcasm and satire are unbelievable aberrations that have been fictitiously implanted into human beings for some dark malevolent purpose. Sometimes comedy is comedy and having to watch O'lielly is not a requirement.

The Daily Show with John Steward is basically a show that yes focus's on events mostly (political satire and sarcasm). But I've seen many good interviews he has given. My husband and I love John Steward. He has so much to pick on when it come to are current administration. If we cant laugh a little, most of us would be depressed about are world.

Jon Stewart does try to get some information into his five minutes with notables who sit for interviews on his show.

Chris, I wouldn't recommend watching O'Reilly to even my worst enemy. However, to get the joke (especially in the case of the Colbert Report), Papa Bear's show should be viewed at least once...
