BIG "DAILY SHOW" RATINGS.
The fake newscast phenomenon shows no signs of abating. Comedy Central's "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" logged its most-watched month ever in February, even without benefit of a national election cycle to lampoon. New episodes of "The Daily Show" averaged 1.5 million viewers for the month, up 32 percent compared with the same period a year earlier, according to figures from Nielsen Media Research.
Stewart's news spoof had more than twice as many average viewers as CNN's February prime-time lineup (637,000) and nearly equaled Fox News' powerhouse 8-11 p.m. schedule (1.6 million).

Jolly Buddah came up with that line about Fake News beating Fake News lite.
But this is a lesson for CNN or MSNBC. Instead of fighting over Fox audience why dont they try to appeal to Daily News viewers by not being like FOX but instead be real journalist and report real NEWS not spun news from left and right.
