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.

ReplyDeleteA thousand "Amens" to that.
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."
