There's a reason that Stewart was just voted the most trusted newsperson in the country--even though he denies he is a newsman at all.
This insightful comedy news segment focuses on arguments made by protesters in town hall meetings across the US. Through humor, John Stewart provides an informative look at some very real issues, and makes a reasonable argument for a more tolerant, civil dialogue based on facts, rather than partisan fervor.
Today, we're comparing comedy news clips on NewsTrust, including this Daily Show segment, as well as pieces from Stephen Colbert and Dennis Miller (see links). I found John Stewart's segment to be the most insightful - but it was neck in neck with Colbert. Which did you find most insightful? http://newstrust.net/
A new one for News Trust - video satire. Maybe Jon Stewart is a journalist after all. He is certainly not afraid to call a lie by its true name, and use video for backup. He is great at pointing out the hypocracy of those on the right wing.
I like a real, unrestrained public option that CAN bargain for better pricing AND can implement the reforms suggested by George Halvorson in "Health Care Reform Now!"
