After watching this, I agree with the author of the article then raises some concerns about modern television journalism. I mean its not everyday that a serious political talk show like PBS's Inside Washington to cite a "fake news" late night show like The Daily Show and be conclusive about an issue because of it.

It really goes both ways, on one hand it shows that fake news has become so reliable that not only is it the number news source for young people or whomever, but this source is slowly becoming more legitimate to even regular news TV programs. On the other hand it is an evidence to the deterioration at an all new low for TV journalism to cite its sources from something that airs on Comedy Central.
