If you forced me to choose which one to watch, I pick the Colbert Report, because it makes me laugh every single time. But if you only let me keep one on the air, I would keep The Daily Show.
In the recent flap with CNBC, The Daily Show shows why it is primary source for analysis of the way the media covers the news. After single-handedly shutting the doors on the original political shoutfest, CNN's Crossfire, Jon Stewart and company have set their sights on CNBC after Rick Santelli's now-famous rant on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, where he complains about the government bailing out the "loser's mortgages."
TDS and Stewart responded in their signature style: with CNBC's own words.
