John Stewart Versus Real News

I watched the clip where John Stewart makes fun of CNN. Personally, I do not understand how the Daily Show with John Stewart is considered news. John Stewart is not reporting on anything. He is simply taking coverage from other actual news sources and making fun of them. Not once does he cover his own story. He makes the news seem less important than it really is. Stewart finds a way to bring down events that most people consider to be extremely important. In this clip, all Stewart did was find numerous ways to bash CNN. His point of view was not even relevant. Sometimes he does not even comment on the news itself, just on the people reporting it. He speaks about how news sources like CNN need to check their facts when he is the one being nonfactual about everything else. His jokes are not even funny. News is suppose to be serious with opinions that help define a situation rather than bring a situation down. When I watch the real news, I see a purpose behind most stories. When I watch John Stewart, I see no reason for watching the show in the first place. Stewart can only have the right to bash other news networks if he decides to create and report on his own stories instead of making "news" by making fun of people reporting for CNN. I would never consider John Stewart a real journalist or a real reporter. He is just a bad comedian looking for laughs made from other people's work. I just cannot see why people would replace actual news for the non-humorous statements of John Stewart.
