I watched Daily show for 10 years. From Bush through to Obama, till the end
It gotten way worse during Obama era. Final straws for me were Sarkeesian episodes for TDS and Colbert. Simply because they came for the gamers - the most docile peope on planet - made me rethink the media
Like for many, Gamergate was the straw that broke the camels back and made people realise the bullshit MSM peddled
True. Good with Jon Stewart for a few years, but basically once it became a hyper partisan it started to suck. You leave a LOT of good material on the table when you only pick on one side.

The Daily Show acronym is quite amusing
First, they came for the gamers...
It sucked once Craig Kilborn (sp?) left.

Bush bashing was quite the intoxicant by 2003 or so.
It was always very partisan
the Kilborn version was mostly Clinton bashing as I recall. Also way less political in general
i enjoyed it. It was fun poking fun at conservatives who reminded me of my parents. but then they came for the gamers...
