NewMexiKen: Incisive

Incisive

Video of John Stewart on Crossfire — he’s awesome.

To say that Crossfire is about debate — “that’s like saying pro-wrestling is a show about athletic competition.”

Thanks so much for posting this! I, too, was bummed that I missed recording this great exchange of views. (And will likely burn to DVD to pass around to friends
Jon Stewart Rocks!

Finally someone speaks honestly & to the point on Crossfire(and to their “partisan hackery”), and takes the “NewsBiz” to task for just repeating the talking points they are handed, without question.

Other than Dan Schorr on NPR, IS there anyone (other than the folks The Daily Show) that can/will do that? And they’re not even “journalists!”

So thanks again for YOUR Public Service in making this available!!; 5

Jon Stewart is so great. He obviously received an excellent college education.
Stupid Tucker Carlson was so flummoxed that his guest didn’t jump right into the box he “belonged” in. Complexity is so hard for partisan hacks to grasp.; 9

When are these news idiots going to stop retaliating
with insults to hard questions.
They don’t ask hard questions of their guests and when THEY are asked
hard questions, they respond with insults.
And baseless insults, no less.

Our whole society seems to be more interested in pro-wrestling than
honest conversation.
Guys screaming at the camera about how they are going to tear their
opponents limb-from-limb.
Instead of human beings sitting at a table trying to clarify and
understand their differences.
I guess that makes me a tree-hugging liberal. F**k yes! I am!
