From the writers of the show...
The show's writers often repeat the fact that The Daily Show is a comedy program and
not a reliable news source by itself. The show does not follow normal rules of journalistic integrity, but much of the schtick of the program involves questioning whether establishment television news sources in the United States, notably the cable news channels CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News Channel, are holding themselves to high journalistic standards. Likewise the show is far more likely to point out acts of government ineptitude (such as a Senator doing a crossword puzzle during a relatively important hearing), hypocrisy and contradictory statements than most sources in the
legitimate media.
