Jon Stewart on CNN's style of journalism
 
Funny and pathetically sad at the same time:

Yes, it's comedy but I can't be the only one who is desperately looking for some truly reliable news.

It's a shame what the journalist profession as a whole is transforming into.

Thanks for posting that link Leslie Anne! I think you hit the nail on the head with "funny and pathetically sad at the same time..."

I just watched the rerun of that on Comedy Central. I found it to be funny. I dont agree with Stewert on a lot of things, but I found this to be both accurate and funny (however, I think most news networks are guilty of the "We'll have to leave it there" syndrome).

I tried to re-visit that link so I could send it to someone, and this time I got an error message. Is it just me or did it move already?

Thanks, ThetaDancer. They did move it.

"CNN Leaves it There"

Jon Stewart bothers me, particularly in how he wants to have it both ways (i.e. tries to be a voice of reason, then is sensitive about criticism because he's on Comedy Central).

That said, this was pretty funny. He's a smart guy and makes some good points.
