Then WHY do you even own a TV?

The Daily Show is a mock-comedy news program. It's objective is to be funny. That you don't get the joke and complain about how "serious" people take it, well, that only underscores that they've hit their objective right on the nose.

You might want to shop around for a startup who can give you a sense of humor.
