Its terrible when you can learn more from comedy news than real news. I think thats why Jon Stewart is so angry. His famous CNN Crossfire appearance where he told them to "stop hurting america" cut like a knife. Thank goodness that turd of a show was cancelled. Only 1000 more stupid news shows to go.

If by consumed you mean engulfed by the fires of hell–which can accurately portray marriage of a sort.

"This loveless marriage [between reporters and politicians] has to be unconsummated."

Oh Jon, don't you know that it does count as consummation if they give it to you anally?

Our roles in life do not define us it's what we do with those roles. I for one am thankful for Jon Stewart for the following reasons. He has the exposure and the backing to be able to be there and say what he wants to say. He has the balls to say what he feels is right from his perspective and he has the opportunity to shame, albeit briefly, those who purport to gather and despense the truth. I am so tired of newstainment and not because I watch it (I don't) but because I can't have an intelligent conversation with most people because they be(lie)ve everything they see on the 42" screen and try to make me believe it too. I gave up TV 11 years ago and try not to get to caught up in what is being spindoctered this week but from time to time I do read the news online so I can at least have some clue as to what the rest of the world is buzzing about. I say two thumbs up for Jon Stewart and I hope more will follow.

How can FOX fairly and accurately report or opine on this breakfast by lambasting Jon anonymously?

"'A Fox News spokesman, who was authorized to give the network's response to Stewart's comments but declined to be named, replied that "Jon's clearly out of touch," citing a Pew Research Center study showing the network has the most balanced audience in cable news, 39 percent Republicans and 33 percent Democrats. "But being out of touch with mainstream America is nothing new to Jon, as evidenced by the crash-and-burn ratings of this year's Oscars telecast.'" — Kurtz (The Horror).

A major media outlet makes ad-hominem and illogical attacks on Jon as its' sole rebuttal to legitimate questions he raises as to modern coverage of politics. Behind a veil of anonymity? This only buttresses his point — FOX insults people with any modicum of intelligence and discourages rational discourse. Granted, Jon used more colorful language to describe FOX, but I would think a journalist with any integrity representing them would have the courage to sign his or her name to the statement.

Superior reporting would require one to actually stand up and be counted at the breakfast instead of engaging in the very same hit and run tactics they were accused of. Perhaps do some of that digging Jon spoke of instead of cowering away from the heart of the issue and attempting to force feed others an unwanted morning-after pill. FOX cannot always abort the truth.

Then again, truth, rational discourse, courage, superior reporting, and FOX go together like toothpaste and orange juice.

Jerry… Jon has never wanted or claimed to be the voice of reason in the media, others have appointed him that role. He's never has taken himself seriously, it's not his fault others do. The MSM could easily police their content themselves but for some reason they resort to relying on a dude from Comedy Central.

Jerry: you're right; technically, he's not a comedian. He's a satirist. Which means that serious critique of the world via humor is part of his job. I don't know if I'd put him up there with the likes of Juvenal, Jonathon Swift, and Mark Twain, but he's following in their footsteps by his commitment to shine a serious light on the world through a non-serious forum.

For further reading on the lack of any true news coverage by any of the main media-outlets, check out the Uncensored Project out of UC Santa Barbara, and their many books uncovering the news out there that Big Media doesn't want you to know. Go Jon Stewart!

i agree, if anyone has any video, it would be great to see the looks on everyone's faces.

meanwhile, I think my audience would like to see a naked woman smoking crack… but you've got to draw the line" ranks up there with "You’re on CNN! The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls! What is wrong with you?" among great Jon Stewart critiques of the media.

Sad that in today's world only a comedian seems to remember what the news is actually for.
