Comedy is the perfect genre for reporting Republicans & their corporate masters & Stewart does it masterfully.

The revelation that Murdoch and Prince Alwaleed own an Arabic Television station that shows vicious anti Jewish and anti American content just shows me how bad people all over the world are being manipulated by these media manipulating pricks.

I do hope the MSM lifts the veil on these con men.......

He got an award for tv news one year during Dubya's administration and (I think it was) CBS's CEO was terribly offended. Ha! I wrote the guy a letter suggesting that if all the usual tv reporters were simply not stenographers taking down whatever Ari Fleischer et al. were saying, and started actually investigating Bush Admin statements, then they might be eligible for the award again themselves. Never heard back, of course.

Jon Stewart is brilliant at what he does.
