I enjoyed Jon Stewart's the Daily Show as much as the next person, but this article makes me really appreciate how much I dislike all of its successors. The whole "Progressives Yell At the Camera About Things They Read on Twitter" genre is thoroughly saturated at this point. And criminally unfun. Even Jon Stewart's new show I have found to be unnecessarily doomful - not only does it host it's own fair share of misleading stories, crackpots, and pitchfork sharpening - it's just not fun.

I think the thing all of these shows are forgetting is the Daily Show was FUN. In spite of "Stewart taking things personally."

The Daily Show was literally a parody of the pearl-clutching, panic-driven serious news shows on cable at the time. They brought levity and lowered the stakes.

Instead these shows have become the "serious" shows.
