Corn Embraces 'Indecision'

摘要

In the current political arena, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart continually balances being an established member of the media, while also lampooning the absurdity of the 24/7 hyperbolic TV news industry. The show's Indecision 08 political coverage brazenly boasts "The Best F~* & #ing News Team Ever!"-a send-up of CNN's claim to having "The Best Political Team on Television." The program is both funny and well-respected. The John McCain presidential ad likening Barack Obama to Moses, and featuring a clip of Charlton Heston part-ing the Red Sea, is suspiciously similar to a riff that appeared on The Daily Show last month. The similarity did not go unnoticed at the show.
