I perfer the Daily show. Since it's not a parody its easier for them to be semi-equal in coverage.

Didn't seem that way with Bush as presdient... but i mean the guy is just an easy target... there are tv adds who make fun of him to sell products for gods sake.

Though to be fair they do seem to be shying away from it slightly, probably due to the fact that the obama jokes don't go over as well with the crowds.

I remember when they hit him for turning his back on public financing after making such a big deal about it... no one laughed which caused john stewart to say in a comical whisper "It's ok to laugh at him..."

Still both are hilarious and not serious 70% of the time, so it's nothing horrible like the O'Reily factor or Countdown or some crap.

 

One of the reasons I love Colbert is how he parodies shows such as O'Reilly or Countdown... he's so ridiculously (fakely) arrogant and biased that it's very fun to watch. He does a great job of pointing out how ridiculous they are.

I agree with whoever said the interviews need to go away though.
