Last week, The Daily Show host Jon Stewart took Fox News Channel to task for their apparent fixation with food stamp recipients being able to purchase sea food with their benefits. The Five co-host Eric Bolling shot back at “dummy” Stewart for those remarks and criticized him for minimizing the problem of welfare fraud. On Thursday night, the feud continued as Stewart responded to Bolling’s “schooling.”

7. Can we, the DU, nominate that segment of the Daily Show for a pulitzer prize?

Here are some categories where that clip might fit.

Public Service – for a distinguished example of meritorious public service by a newspaper or news site through the use of its journalistic resources which, as well as reporting, may include editorials, cartoons, photographs, graphics, videos, databases, multimedia or interactive presentations or other visual material, presented in print or online or both. Often thought of as the grand prize, and mentioned first in listings of the journalism prizes, the Public Service award is given to the newspaper, not to individuals, though individuals are often mentioned for their contributions. Alone among the Pulitzer Prizes, it is awarded in the form of the Joseph Pulitzer Gold Medal.
Explanatory Reporting – for a distinguished example of explanatory newspaper reporting that illuminates a significant and complex subject, demonstrating mastery of the subject, lucid writing, and clear presentation.
Feature Writing – for a distinguished example of newspaper feature writing giving prime consideration to high literary quality and originality.
Commentary – for distinguished commentary.
Criticism – for distinguished criticism.
Editorial Writing – for distinguished editorial writing, the test of excellence being clarity of style, moral purpose, sound reasoning, and power to influence public opinion in what the writer perceives to be the right direction.

As best as I can find out in four minutes, anyone can submit a nominee and the cost is fifty dollars. We can submit to two.

Comment?

11. I would second that suggestion.

[Half-Century Man]

13. It is deserved.

A nomination at least. I also like the Idea that the DU do something like this. To act as a group and move our voice out of the electronic realm at times. Unless we already do and then..oppps.

Also good.

6. "FACT: Every $1 in SNAP benefits generates $1.73 in economic activity, according to Moody's"

"FACT: Every $1 in SNAP benefits generates $1.73 in economic activity, according to Moody's economist Mark Zandi. SNAP not only helps low-income people buy groceries, it frees up cash for other expenses, such as medical care, clothing, home repairs and childcare. That benefits local businesses and their employees, which boosts the economy as a whole."
