Doesn't Jon Stewart already fit the bill? Intelligent, comprehensive, and entertaining. And, more news value (pound for pound) than just about any other news

  It's really sad that a comedy show is the best news show. If I was a billionaire I would hire Jon Stewart to produce a cable news channel. I wonder if he would do it if funded sufficiently.

  For some reason, I don't think basing selection of news stories on whatever is the funniest to crack jokes about is the "goal" we should aim for with reporting. Not trying to knock Jon Stewart, but just because sometimes he is more informative than some news shows doesn't mean we should be looking toward him to set the standard.
