Over the last few years the daily show seems to have gotten a reputation
of being the only unbiased source of information during elections. All
other general broadcast companies are either too tightly bound to one
political party or too busy avoiding law suits and/or loss of audience
to have an political opinion. One of the reasons for the sharp divide in
the US is that most people only watch a certain number of channels.
Which shape their political points of view which in turn makes watching
a channel with a different opinion impossible. In a way some channels
are using politics to bind the audience.
