re: #63 Cog

In his defense, Jon Stewart is a comedian first, doing a comedy show, on a channel called Comedy Central. If the truth gets in the way of a good punchline, ehhh, he’ll go for the punchline. That’s what comedians are known to do.

The “rage” against Stewart may be because he was declared the “Most Trusted Name in News”. It’s an outrageous claim, but wasn’t done by him or his staff; it came from an online Times Magazine poll (which, goes without saying, is at best unreliable). Even Stewart, during one interview, said he felt like the “None of the above” selection in the poll.
