DAILY SHOW STARS DISCUSS THE EVIL WORLD OF TRUMP, CLAIM SHOW IS THE ‘MOST FACTUALLY ACCURATE NEWS SOURCE:’
Desi Lydic is a field correspondent and Michele Wolf is a writer and on-screen contributor for the not-so-funny comedy show. Here are just a few comments made by the pair:
DESI LYDIC: How did you feel the day after the election?
MICHELLE WOLF: I was so sad. That’s when I cried on camera.
(…)
LYDIC: My husband and I, we looked at each other [On election night] and we were like, oh my god we just brought a child into this world. Maybe that’s dramatic, but it really felt like that.

WOLF: We’re clearly a liberal leaning show, but I would argue we are the most factually accurate news source. Like we have a fact checker, and he won’t let anything slide by that’s not accurate.
In a Bizarro World sort of way, she’s on to something there — given the postmodern media overculture in which the DNC-MSM consists of seemingly nothing but fake news these days, why accept poor substitutes when you can watch a show that’s premised on being fake news?
To paraphrase Nigel Tufnel, it’s like, how much more fake could the Daily Show be? and the answer is none. None more fake.
(To which CNN would reply, “hold my beer.”)
