I can't think of anywhere else to post this but just to let you know I agree with you in a way. Unfortunately mine isn't as intelectually stimulating as yours but I tried.
There is still one major problem I'm seeing with this whole Stewart deal. I am pretty much to the right, but I still watch his show. Not to get news, just for a laugh. I get a kick out of the correspondents (the fedex guy and such).
The part I think I'm having the biggest problem with is seeing where the thrashing everyone else has seen but me has come in. He does a parody that makes fun of the media and how messed up it is. That's great for a funny relief from the norm. However, I have always believed in leading by example. The singlehanded largest way and I think the only meaningful way he could have come on that show and insult them was if he were to come on and point out how he has a competitive REAL news program that doesn't lean one way or the other (dreaming I know). Making fun of the media with your own show doesn't help the situation in any form to me. Granted I'm still going to watch his show, but I can't see this objectively as him "Tearing them a new one." He doesn't do any better of a job at news reporting then them. Sure it is a comedy show on comedy central, but then don't come onto another show and tell them how they are messing up at something you can't do yourself successfully. He tried before, it didn't work.
That's great, you have proven you can insult someone for expressing their views. Kudos to you my friend, you have achieved the highest goal in life of "I'm better then you."

Yeah but unfortunately then the journalists wouldn't be human...... wait, that's not necessarily an unfortunate patch to take.
