If you saw the Daily Show in mid-October, there was an interview with Bill O’Reilly, on the show to promote his book ‘The Factor’, for kids. Bill was very defensive and aggressive, more so then usual on his Fox box. The funniest moment occured when the audience began clapping when O’Reilly said he was thinking about retiring. O’Reilly proceeded to tell them to stop being French. Here is the video.
This comes after O’Reilly slammed Daily Show watchers as ‘pothead slackers. The interesting twist? The viewers of the Factor are stupider and poorer than viewers of the Daily Show. Oops.
Here is the data from Nielsen Media Research about the two shows:
* The median age of “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” 11:00 p.m. (premiere) airing is 35, while its median income is $67,000.

* Viewers of “The Daily Show” are 78% more likely than the average adult to have four or more years of college education.

Oh, and also, Bill O’Reilly likes coercive phone sex.
More and more I find validation in the theory that the Daily Show is the only good place on television to get news. Next time Stewart is on “The Factor” he should bring O’reilly a luffa and a manuel on appropriate workplace conduct.
Yah, it’s kind of ironic that a show based on the premise of fake news reporting is more honest than most ‘true’ news programs.

I guess many older people did not have the luxury of college in the past and that many of JS followers are children of the parents that brought up the kids to have college
The bonus army of WWII had all the opportunity we have had for less of the cost…don’t forget your history you fuck.
the hippie liberals of the 60s sent their kids to school, now they’re happier healthier and more educated than you republican cunts that still care about what gender someone humps. Go fuck yourselves while we save the world.
