Fox News Channel to try "Daily Show" type show

This isn't about politics. If it's funny, it will succeed, if not it will bomb, like every other show. No one watches Stewart for his politics, his talent gives him a soap box not afforded to the rest of us that allows him to poison influence young minds who get their news from him. If someone equally talented (not so easy to find) and equally slanted in the other direction got a similar platform, they be able to do the same.

True dat.
Which is why the host has to be an unknown, so he/she can create the character from scratch.

Since Miller's gone 'way downhill since he sold out, corporate, years ago . . . lotsa luck.

Stone and Parker would go libertarian.

Guarantee it would be twenty times funnier than Miller, who's nothing more than a corporate wart, now.
