Random News of the Day: Cat in a Rabbit Mask. WTF?

Yeah, that's newsworthy. CNN.

I remember a few years back when Jon Stewart successfully got CNN to cancel Cross-fire.

here's a blurb from his interview
Quote:
STEWART: It's not honest. What you do is not honest. What you do is partisan hackery. And I will tell you why I know it.

CARLSON: You had John Kerry on your show and you sniff his throne and you're accusing us of partisan hackery?

STEWART: Absolutely.

CARLSON: You've got to be kidding me. He comes on and you...

(CROSSTALK)

STEWART: You're on CNN. The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls.

(LAUGHTER)

STEWART: What is wrong with you?

CARLSON: Well, I'm just saying, there's no reason for you -- when you have this marvelous opportunity not to be the guy's butt boy, to go ahead and be his butt boy. Come on. It's embarrassing.

STEWART: I was absolutely his butt boy. I was so far -- you would not believe what he ate two weeks ago.

(LAUGHTER)

(CROSSTALK)

STEWART: You know, the interesting thing I have is, you have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably.

CARLSON: You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think.

STEWART: You need to go to one. The thing that I want to say is, when you have people on for just knee-jerk, reactionary talk...

CARLSON: Wait. I thought you were going to be funny. Come on. Be funny.

STEWART: No. No. I'm not going to be your monkey.

Stewart has perfected the art of being a clown enough of the time that when he does come at you with something serious and correct, it's got a real zing to it. Nobody does this better than him.

I was never a fan until I actually watched him a few times.

Changed my mind

I'm surprised CNN's ratings aren't lacking with this kind of reporting.

facts: more people get their news from The Daily Show than from any "real" news show and a recent poll showed that Jon is the most trusted news man on TV.
