The Star Gets It Right
Aug. 26th, 2004 07:57 amOnly the Jester Speaks the Truth by Vinay Menon for a Canadian newspaper, on the Daily Show. " Stewart was utterly disarming, framing serious issues with a smirking mix of deadpan journalese and mock sincerity. His greatest strength may be his ability to isolate and invert the talking points and pseudo-questions that burble forth in the mainstream media... If the American media actually did its job, that is, vigorously report and not regurgitate official lines, The Daily Show wouldn't be nearly as popular. There wouldn't be much to lampoon."
