Mr. Garofoli basically throws out some choice, angry quotes from comedian (not journalist) Jon Stewart and provides no evidence on either side of the issue raised. The issue: The show-anything, irresponsible, 24-hour cable networks sets the nation's political agenda. Stewart claims the major news media should stop letting the non-news dominate, but doesn't stop himself; Obama inspires the young to get serious and seriously involved, while Stewart's mockery and satire encourages them to laugh at a safe, uninvolved distance. . Stewart makes his living off satirizing many of the non-news stories he criticizes others for airing seriously, but Stewart, who is a for many young the main source of their national and international news, doesn't see (because of his ratings, paycheck and ego?) that he is part of the very problem he rages against.
