Daily Show's Viewers Best O'Reilly's In Political Quiz
tjg89 writes "CNN.com has an interesting article about some deragatory comments made about Daily Show viewers by Bill O'Reilly and how Comedy Central reacted. They not only proved that the Daily Show viewers are better informed than viewers of his show, but they are also more informed than viewers of Jay Leno and David Lettermen. Are more slashdot readers Daily Show people or O'Reilly people?" Update: 09/29 16:55 GMT by T : The Daily Show's audience actually topped viewers of "The Tonight Show,""The Late Show" and "The O'Reilly Factor"; CNN just carried the story. (Thanks to reader Robert Nevitt for the correction.)
" Stewart is funnier, but I haven't watched his program since, oddly enough, I was in college. I started watching O'Reilly about 2 years ago and got hooked.
If I get flamed by people accusing him of lying and slanting, please back it up with some facts...plenty of people have taken him on, the most famous probably being Al Franken, and they've come up with nothing except a misspeak on Bill's part. You can hate him for being a blowhard, but don't insinuate he outright lies on his show without proof."
What is trollish about that post? Whoever modded that, read the damn guidelines. The poster attacked no one, didn't deride anyone, simply stated an honest, thoughtful opinion. Whoever modded the poster troll, I hope you get pounded in metamoderation, because what you're doing is modding down because you don't like his opinion: that's it. That's wrong, totally against the spirit of the moderation process.
