The Daily Show audience are sheep
I gave this its own post because I'll be referring back to it.
Confirming what I already knew, but from an inside view. The sure fire way to spot a kneejerk liberal sheep is to ask them if they think The Daily Show is unbiased. A "yes" is as good as a "baaaaaaahhhhh". Confirmed:
"Revelation! 'Daily Show' Crowd Smug, Knee-Jerk"
"The Daily Show audience used to drive me fucking crazy, because they would just applaud at every reference to some right-wing guest being taken down. Or anything slightly to the left of center."
"It's a knee-jerk audience. It's so easy."
Yep.
Gawker:
Radar interviews former Daily Show correspondent Rob Corddry, and obtains an exclusive and shocking tidbit. That show's audience is composed of "college kids and NPR listeners" who "just applaud at every reference to some right-wing guest being taken down. Or anything slightly to the left of center." This surprises us, as our favorite thing about the show has always been the seemingly complete political and lifestyle homogeneity of its in-studio cacklers. But apparently the show's host, a guy named Jon Stewart, doesn't feel the same way we do, according to Corddry: "Jon absolutely hates it when people will just applaud at anything remotely liberal. It's a knee-jerk audience. It's so easy."
