Kevin Anderson, blogs editor for the UK's Guardian, writes about the rising praise the Daily Show is receiving for doing journalism that's exposing and challenging the hype put out by other "real" news networks.
I was pleased to see that he included an excerpt from my piece last week that examined whether The Daily Show is now our most trustworthy source of journalism:
Tech consultant Stewart Mader asked if The Daily Show was now one of the most trustworthy names in journalism, and he wrote on his blog:
This video of Jon Stewart taking CNBC to task over the faux populist rantings of one of its reporters is an example of the quality of journalism we should see from all news outlets, but rarely do.
And he went on to say something that should be a wake-up call for traditional journalists. "Research matters. Facts matter. Access to power doesn't matter when you squander it."
