I was watching an old ze frank video and found his insight as to why we like The Daily Show and Colbert Report so much. (he made it with respect to Al Franken)
Paraphrased ze frank explained it like this:
What qualities do we want in a politician?
- Ability to grasp and process a wide variety of issues
- Ability to remain calm and articulate under pressure
- Ability to take large and complex issues and convey them in a way that’s simple and human.
