What Jon Stewart Can Teach The Mainstream Media

Take a look at the video below. I know it's a partisan attack, but the concept is non-partisan. Why doesn't network news remember what people said earlier? Why is this fundamental journalistic charge left to Comedy Central?

Jon Stewart is doing something the mainstream media doesn't do--but should. Wouldn't the viewing public be interested in seeing inconsistency from all sides? No one is better equipped to do this than the cable networks and heaven knows, they've got plenty of time to fill.

Right now lying works marvellously.

Hilarious! What I love about Jon Stewart is that he really is non-partisan-- he does lean left but he will call anyone out!

I wish John would run for pres. I know I would vote for him considering the other options.

On a different note. I was laughing tonight when you said "It's gonna be just NASTY on Saturday". Right when you said that I was digging some rope out of the shacks' closet trying to figure out how to tie down the aluminum tomorrow. I was figuring you were thinking the same thing, hihi.

Hopefully, we don't get banged over the head this weekend.
