That's the depressing thing about that macro. Jon Stewart knows it, and bangs his head over that fact on a regular basis.

This is also why I still miss Tim Russert SFM.

Sorry but... aestas July 24 2009, 16:58:39 UTC

Yet another reason why I would hit it so hard.

ITA. Good looking, smart and has integrity. Deadly!

WORD.

They forgot to mention his owning of Jim Cramer. Dear God, that was epic... even more epic than the crossfire thing.

Not to mention his debates with Mike Huckabee and conversations with Barney Frank.

Oh lord! the Jim Cramer smackdown, Huckabee and Barney Frank segments were glorious.

Same, between here and BBC News, I'm all set.

I love Jon Stewart and think he's done a lot of great interviews but it is pretty odd he's considered the most trusted.

ubiquitous_a July 24 2009, 17:29:57 UTC

I don't think it's odd, based on how often the show calls not only politicians, but members of the media out on their inconsistencies, hypocrasy and general fuckwittery.

ceilidh_ann July 24 2009, 17:32:36 UTC

True (I do love watching him tear into people, few do it as well as he does) but I think even he would see it as a bit baffling that a comedian is more trusted than most journalists. To be fair, I trust him a lot myself. He's sort of like a funny, less bastard-ish Paxman.
