Just a quick shout out to my man Jon Stewart, for calling out the moderators of CNN's Crossfire as the partisan hacks they are.
It took some real guts from this TV funnyman to turn his serious guns on Paul Begala, Tucker Carlson, and their hot-headed television pundit ilk. He confronted
them essentially as corporate sellouts, playing into partisan strategies that willfully stifle meaningful discussion and debate in the mass media.
And ya know what? He's was right.
Sure, Stewart may be drawing fire from both sides now, but at least he managed to remind viewers that perhaps it's more important to talk about serious issues than to distract the public with lame arguments over whether or not it's okay to call Cheney's daughter a lesbian.
It's rather telling, and quite sad, when these supposed elite media personalities feel threatened by a fake news man, and completely fold under the scrutiny of a latenight comedian.
