I love jon stewart… there is this snippet that was released on the internet of a cnn show called crossfire where jon stuart gives this very funny litany of what is wrong with their show. during the show there are choice words used by the individuals involved and even at one point, when it was pointed out that his show doesn’t do much better in referencing the problems with spinning and politics, he says, “if you want to compare your show to a comedy show then by all means go ahead but it isn’t my responsibility to ask the “hard questions” as it is your responsibility… later he said, ” the show that leads into my show are puppets doing crank phone calls… come on…” and even when he was told, “you should be in a journalism school”… stuart responded, “you apparently need to go to one”
the gist of the whole debacle was that jon stuart was angry that cnn was producing lies and rhetoric instead of the truth… and he says, “it hurts america…. stop hurting america” which was hillarious in and of itself.
i laughed… i cried… i can’t believe how good of a political motivator jon stuart is… its fucking hillarious…. comedy central has more of my respect then cnn right now…
I’m astounded by this… i’ll see if i can make copies for the relevant parties involved… i don’t think anyone should miss this… its hillarious…
