A sad testimony of the media-centric world in which we now live, isn't it.

The primary news source for males under 35 is "The Daily Show", an admittedly fake, and biased news show. As Goebbell's knew, he who control's the message, controls the narrative.

I wonder why the article didn't compare how The Daily Show stacks up to CNN and PMSNBC, only Fox News?

I think they need to look at their numbers again.

Jon Stewart is lead clown of the Paparazzi Press.

Big.

Deal.

This comparing apples to oranges. His show is a comedy show on Comedy Central. His ratings should be compared to those of Saturday Night Live.

"...while the Fox News prime time and day time line up averaged 1.85 million viewers."

Sort of bogus results comparing an average of many shows to one show.

>> Fox News prime time and day time line up average

They had to average prime time and day time? Most Fox News viewers are at WORK during the day. We’re earning the money so the Daily Show viewers can steal/tax it from us.

I’ve written on other ratings thread like this that FOX should put RedEye head-to-head with these late night talk/fake news channel line ups

I’d rather watch RedEye than Leno, Letterman or Stewart - for them to stick it at 3am is stupid - IMHO

RedEye can wrestle with the big boy network channels

The primary news source for males under 35 is "The Daily Show", an admittedly fake, and biased news show.

All is not lost. First, these younger men are indeed watching political commentary/entertainment. When they compare a source of political commentary to others, eventually, they will have a stark contrast. Second, it is academic from this point as to how many of these men will turn away from the Daily Show.

What a crock.

But I hope Fox is figuring out they are losing viewers due to their caving to the lefties accusations. They were flying high until they joined the leftist media culture.

As far as Stewart. Dummies like Dumb shows. It feeds their stupidity.

I rarely watch FNC any more, and hardly ever even stop on Stewart.

As a general rule, their commentators have their heads where the
Sun don't shine, and I really gave up on them when they
interrupted a discussion of a breaking story to have a
newsbreak alert to say that the story they interrupted had occurred.

Don't need it any more, even as background noise.

And Stewart's a smarmy, holier than thou lib. His comedy doesn't
appeal to me. He could be a talking head on FNC, for all I care.

This is good news. The popularity will go straight to Stewart's head and he'll self-destruct. He has no talent and he knows it. I've never laughed at anything I've heard from this no-talent bum.

Jon Stewart’s Ratings Are Now Higher Than All Of Fox News

Good news for him. For America it's indicative that no one wants to take any news of the obama regime seriously, it's too depressing.

"According to the May Nielson ratings"

Yeah, but it's the MAY ratings, the election was back in NOVEMBER, and even the hard-core political junkies have lawns to mow, gardens to plant and baseball games to watch. Politics ia an AUTUMN sport!

Meanwhile, Stewart has been blessed by a Member of Congress tweeting photos of his member all over the internet.

Of course his numbers are higher!

This comparison is screwy and the source is suspect. How do you compare an “average” of many shows to one particular show? Most of Fox’s daytime line up is non-descript anyway.

I don’t think the Nielson ratings had anything to do with this bull****. Comedy Central has taken Nielson’s numbers and manipulated the numbers to come up with this crap. This article is commie lib bogus.
