dan: i think the internet will breed not 1000 jon stewarts but a lot of people doing what jon stewart did. to give you an idea of how influential it is, in the white house you get clips every day that run through the news, what was on the tv news. about three or four years ago, we started pulling all the late-night monologues and driving public opinion. if something happens and it is getting hammered every night by stewart or fallon, people start to know about it pretty quickly. we started to monitor that to see where public opinion was going. it is something the white house looks at everyday. how influential that has become as media disaggregated and people trusting the media less. dave: they have gotten less political. they are late-night shows. the monologues have become the least important component of the show. bill: i do think what the monologues do -- this is interesting -- they create the narratives. there is a narrative for what happens. all the comedians are going after that narrative, it reinforces it and the country starts to sink it in. the interesting thing about obama i

culturally a hugely enormous figure is jon stewart. really this taints him because more and more he's become an operative and this shows there was a link. he let himself be used by obama just as you said. he should have disclosed. and to get into fox and all of this stuff is just a dodge because he doesn't have an intellectually defensible defense for what he did. >> for jon stewart to say and others picked this up these weren't secret meetings because his name was among tens of thousands in the white house visitor log. nobody else knew about it. at the same time anchors on state of the union day and reporters go to off the record sessions did with president bush and president clinton, there's a debate about that but usually it's in groups. jon stewart says i'm just a comic. >> that's his big dodge. you should also disclose. if he wants to be treated -- remember how he mocked politico for getting the name of his executive director wrong, that doesn't stop the truth of what they wrote. if he wants to be seen as a press critic then behav

did you see jon stewart last night? when he went on the air in 1999 he was a skinnier less assured version of the guy who came to own the sutiric air waves except the program was never on the air. it was on cable which meant the daily show was more prone to risk less afraid of offense. >> yes we can, but should we? >> reporter: which made it perfect for an audience that was simultaneously giving up on network news and definitely not getting news from the printed page. >> boom! >> reporter: stewart and the daily show matured. the facts were never more available. like their grandparents and those around them wanted a person to bring it to them and stewart gleefully complied. >> let's see what great story we get. >> reporter: the show was biassed against hypocrisy and the usual crave of nonsense that is american policy. >> ownership over our current predicament. >> reporter: it was happiest when it was attempting to slay conservative dragons. >> i need me some donald. >> reporter: often its favorite target was fox. >> i wa
