Senator Joe Biden on The Daily Show
Once again, The Daily Show's Convention coverage proved far superior to the other networks as Jon Stewart was both comical and interesting, both of which the other major broadcasts lacked this evening.
After last night's interview with Bill Richardson, Stewart topped himself with a stellar conversation with Joe Biden. Highlights included when Biden said he might have been President had it not been for the fact he accidentally lied about having a coal miner in his family (oops...) and when Biden said that the President doesn't read.
As I wrote in an earlier piece about Stewart, "he cuts through the BS that the mainstream media filters out and lays it down straight for his viewers." Additionally, I still stand by what I earlier wrote when I said that "I truly believe that textbooks and scholarly articles in media analysis journals in the future will devote whole chapters to the impact that The Daily Show has during this period of diluted, crappy television news. Viva la Daily Show!!!"
If you get a chance, check out tonight's show in a later iteration if you missed the first showing already.
