THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion.

And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

But honestly, that gag is getting old. It's also easy to do when you have a large crowd on your side. Let's see Stewart go to pits in Chicago and try to embarrass them.
Next time though, guy, ditch the made-up acronyms.
By the way, which is longer -- Wikipedia's article on The Daily Show or the one on the battle of Gettysburg?
By about 200 words -- IDIOTS!!!!!
