My suggestion... do more with less


I just watched an episode of the week-daily show and it's clear that what they need to do is delve further into fewer stories. Each of their segments came to an awkward end without feeling like it came to a full "well here is all the info we gained... you decide" ending. Overall it was rather unfulfilling and it took a lot of low swipes at the more conservative point-of-view (of which I am fully not a part of at this point) without presenting anything really compelling. I think they should take a note out of John Oliver's notebook and just use fewer stories per show and explore them more fully.

I had the same feeling as well. If they just covered one topic per episode instead of two, they would have more time to present not only a more balanced view but also the time to delve into a topic that takes more than 15 minutes to really cover. When they did the special 'Cold War 2.0', it was thoroughly engrossing because they spent the entire segment on just that piece. I wasn't left feeling like I had more questions than answers.
