It Took Jon Stewart to Gun Down Crossfire

[UCLA Dem]

Love ya Jon!!

<snip>
Last Friday afternoon, when comedian Jon Stewart called CNN Crossfire co-host Tucker Carlson a body part exclusive to men, maybe half a million viewers finally saw an honest moment on this program.

Too bad. While it was not the first time ever on TV that the American media punditocracy was ripped for its failures, it was probably the most satisfying.

That's because it was live, and Stewart confronted the enemy head-on, instead of mocking it from his Daily Show perch where he anchors his celebrated "fake news" program.

No wonder more than a million people have downloaded video of the exchange. (Try onegoodmove.org or mediamatters.org.) In fact, due to traffic, some websites crashed.

2. Jon Stewart and the Daily Show are the very antithesis of the media.

The Daily Show cloaks the truth in a facade of lies, whereas the media (and the partisans that are on it) cloak a lie in a facade of truth.

It is interesting how they have become the most credible program while at the same time proclaiming their lack of credibility.
