World of Class Warfare - The Poor’s Free Ride Is Over - The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - 08/18/11

This is simply The Daily Show at its best. Amazing. Dylan said, “The truth is just…a collage of pictures.” In the Daily Show’s case, The truth is just a collage of video…with commentary.

Cory Doctorow: “I swear, I don’t know why they air The Daily Show at night: I love it first thing in the morning, just the tonic to ginger up the blood.”

Exactly right. This is segment had me wanting to throw heavy objects at the TV while also wanting to hug Jon Stewart so much. The Daily Show is the best thing on TV.
