The Daily Show Takes on Objectivity

Mallary Jean Tenore at Poynter Online interview The Daily Show’s writers and producers. No surprise to us, they’re a very serious bunch. Serious about fearlessly critiquing media.

Tenore writes:

When both sides are represented, writer Elliott Kalan said, there needs to be more fact-checking and deeper questioning: “A senator or governor will be on the news and will say something completely biased, and newscasters won’t call them on it. They should be checking these people. Instead they don’t want to alienate them and they let them say whatever they want.”
