Freedom of the Press


Just to add my .000000000002 cent's worth to the commentary re: Jon Stewart's vivisection of Jim Cramer--it took me a second, because it's been so long since I've seen it, if I ever actually did see it, but Stewart's manner was that of a genuine journalist. Sure, he claims to be just a comedian--and yes, The Daily Show is comedy/satire, not news--but still.

The shame is that it takes a comedian to demonstrate to actual journalists how they should do their jobs.

    A thousand "Amens" to that.

  2. Olbermann is similar...sure, at this point he makes no secret of being liberal, however, absent the commentary/editorializing, he's simply practicing good journalism...which wingers call "bias."
