Set your VCR.

The Daily Show's coverage of the Democratic National Convention tied MSNBC overall for the time slot, and beat all of the cable news networks for the 18-34 demographic. Want to know why Jon Stewart is pulling in viewers at such a staggering clip? Watch him call bullshit on Texas Congressman Henry Bonilla. This is what the "real" news anchors should be doing every interview, but almost never do. How sad of a statement is it that a comedian on a fake news show exhibits higher journalistic standards than nearly all of the serious news media?

By the way, Bill Clinton will be on the show Monday night.
