No Joke

This story is a few days old (and probably not terribly surprising), but I just wanted to mention Indiana University professor Julia R. Fox's study that concludes that The Daily Show is just as substantive as nightly network news. The article is set to appear this summer in the Journal of Broadcast and Electronic Media (via Jim Emerson's Scanners, where an interesting discussion of TDS and Colbert takes place).
