Reuters tells us:

As Jon Stewart winds down his 19-year stint as host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, he and Stephen Colbert sit at the peak of American punditry despite their left-leaning view of life, the universe and everything.

In an era of diffused voices and divided politics, they are well known, widely admired, and speak to Americans in ways that no one else does, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll.

This poll tracks 10 different pundits. Split evenly between conservative and liberal. It is also worth noting that four of the five on the liberal side are comedians, while none of the conservative pundits are trained to tell jokes.

    https://soylentnews.org/search.pl?start=15 [soylentnews.org] Looks pretty tech/science to me, but like /. with the odd celeb/politic article to inflame commenters because that's what gets clicks.

      *Sigh*

      I guess I shouldn't get too frustrated, you obviously came from the site that invented the term RTFA.
