After viewing both, The Daily Show and Fox News, I have noticed they are so much alike, but very different. I choose to watch the segments that were related to Meghan McCain. These two shorts shows were about Meghan McCain's new book that was just published; "Dirty Sexy Politics." Both, Fox News and The Daily Show advertised the new book, and talked about the different strategies that Meghan used in them. Fox News was more informative, and The Daily Show just joked around about the book.
I noticed that both of these show's gave out a lot of information regarding Meghan McCain's new book. Everything that was stated and remarked were true statements, and nothing false. Both of the head people of the show basically tried to help Meghan sell the book by advertising it on their show, and talk about what her beliefs are on the campaign and new book.
Watching The Daily Show, I noticed that the show was full of laughter. It made everything so much more interesting about news, and you wanted to hear more if it. As Jon Stewart and Meghan McCain chatted about her new book, Jon made some funny remarks about her book cover. Jon made Meghan laugh, smile, act silly, and just be herself. He wasn't mocking Meghan, he was just joking around. He had the crowd in the background, he had constant laughter throughout the show, and even provided the audience with political facts in between. There was just so much more going on. The viewers were gaining interest and learning something at the same time. I believe because of the way he runs the show with the laughter and smiles, that is how he wins over all the other news channels.
On the other hand, The Fox News was more of an informative show and trying to get straight to the point. They straight up stated facts one after another, and talked more then Meghan actually did. The show host talked so much Meghan barely got some words out of her mouth, and had a chance to even smile or laugh. There was obviously no crowd, music, or any excitement going on; unlike the daily show. Fox News was more calming and talking straight politics. They showed the viewers Meghan's new book on what it looked like, and what it was about. There was very little laughter and smiles. Where in The Daily Show just made jokes, but wasn't really telling is the core elements.
I have definitely formed opinions on both of the shows after just watching short little segments. I would prefer watching The Daily Show over Fox News, only because I'm a huge fan of comedy. So if I can watch a show that's funny and get some educational information out of it, then why not? This is why I believe The Daily Show is more well known, and more watched.
