Matthew Felling, who is Brian "Nonstopoli" Montopoli's new co-editor at CBS News' ombudsman blog Public Eye, has a bone to pick with the "Daily Show": It's not real news. While very important studies show that increasing numbers of 18-29 year olds are getting their information from the Comedy Central chat show, other equally important studies also show that those who do are less informed than their old-timey news-watching counterparts. "[T]he truth," says Felling, "is that the "Daily Show" is actually just a nice dessert or digestif, after a meal of Real News Roughage." He's probably right. If you want solid, hard-hitting journalism, it's best to stick with the pros. Really, shouldn't they be busy ghost-plagiarizing for Katie Couric's blog or something?
