* "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" news agenda is quite close to those of cable news talk shows and talk radio.
* US foreign affairs, Washington politics and government accounted for nearly half (47%) of the time spent on the program last year.
* In all, 8% of the time was made up of segments about the press and news media.
* The lineup of on-air guests was evenly balanced by political party, but Republicans faced harsher criticism during the interviews with Stewart. || Study results in PDF format.
