Youtube is a good example of delivering video well and the dailyshow website doesn't do it. EDITOR: I can see where you're coming from ... but on the other hand they offer a free archive of their show going back years which no one else does The daily show website is shite, the video delivery stuff doesn’t work properly if at all.

"Couldn't renew their contract"? What a load of baloney. Is anyone else in Australia picking it up? no. SBS are too busy shoveling ads down the throat of a dwindling audience to find the time to show insightful stuff like this. Fortunately we still have the net. EDITOR: yes it was too bad that SBS dumped the Daily Show again. Luckily people can <a href="http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/videos/most_recent/index.jhtml">watch clips via the comedy central website</a> and "other sources" Shame SBS dropped it. “Couldn’t renew their contract”?
