Daily Show Production Team Nets Creative Freedom

Posted by Zonk on from the stephen-colbert-deserves-a-hug dept.

gremlins writes "Jon Stewart, who recently celebrated his sixth anniversary with "The Daily Show" and was a rumored possible replacement to Dan Rathers, has signed a deal which allows his production team, Busboy Productions, to develop televison projects on their own. The deal also allows Busboy Productions to flirt with other networks when looking for a home for the projects. Comedy Central still gets the right of first refusal for any projects created."

    Considering the subject of his comment, I'd speculate that this AC is a fan of Stephen's, too.

    I wonder whether you think it is possible to report news critical of the democrats' policies without becoming "partisan." Or do you suppose that "the facts have an agenda"?
