and they broadcast that to millions of people.
well, I am not going to comment any more on what is in your video. I can't view it because it is blocked. I'm not going to mess around with trying to find a proxy and figure out how to use it just so i can view it.

Here is what I can say: The Daily Show uses fair use in the way it was meant to be used. That means they take small clips/pics and build original content around it. For example they might have a 7 minute long bit during which they use 45 seconds of other people's content and the other 6:45 is their own stuff that they added to it. In short, they are adding 6:45 of commentary. Just saying, "this is the best dance routine I have ever seen," and posting the full clip is a far cry from what they do.
