The only difference between the Daily Show and CNN or Fox is the image they portray. "Worldwide news leaders" and "Fair and Balanced" are funnier to me than "Goofy noises and sarcasm."
Other than who they say they are, they're all the same. Just trying to pander to their audience, support their narrative, and avoid doing anything long enough to become boring.
