Study shows Daly Show is legitimate news

A University of Indiana study has concluded that Jon Stewart's Daily Show is as legitimate a news source as the mainstream networks.

In spite of Stewart's well-publicized claims to the contrary, an analysis conducted of the 2004 national political conventions and the first presidential debate by the networks and Stewart's program showed the Daily Show provided as much substance as the Nets, according to author, Assistant Professor, Julia Fox, who also stated:

"... the broadcast network news stories about the presidential election were significantly shorter, on average, than were The Daily Show with Jon Stewart stories..."

What do I think is the most interesting part of the study?

I can legitimately state that Fox thinks Jon Stewart has as much substance as anyone else.

Now if only some one could show Rick Mercer was as credible as the National Post...
