I dont know about the rest of you, but this 'fake news' show is becoming the most CREDIBLE news source around! Their news seems far less fake than Fox!

1. I came to this opinion about a year ago.

My favorite is the Bush vs. Bush debate:

9. What makes it more accurate IMO

...is not the way it treats the absurdities of the politicos and other subjects of the news, but the way it foregrounds the absurdities and heavy-handed, manipulative techniques of the news media themselves. The list is too long to even attempt here, but their mockery of HOW the other stations (esp. Faux) do their news, not just the content, is what makes TDS an absolute national treasure--camera technique, interview technique, the ridiculous rhetorical tricks that pass for "thoughtful commentary"--all the myriad ways in which the major media outlets relentlessly insult your intelligence. It is SO satisfying to see that stuff subjected to the scathing mockery it deserves.
