The Hollywood Reporter

The Daily Show host spent eight minutes last night examining how TV's police portrayals have influenced Americans. "Believe it or not, watching cop shows makes a lot of people see the police as infallible," Noah said. "And honestly, I don't blame any of these people. I'll admit a lot of my perceptions about reality has been shaped by TV, as well." He added: "TV is a powerful tool that shapes how the public sees the police," the late-night host said. (It) shapes how the public sees the police's role in society and how accountable they should be."
