That's not what I saw. I saw commentators weighing different theories as to who might be responsible, not pointing fingers.

That is why so many liberals were misinformed for so long.

Default Jon Stewart nails one

Let me be the first to admit that I dont often like Jon Stewart, not because of him, but because people actually repeat what he says as "news"...

but this one was too funny to not pass along..
Hysterical: Daily Show's Jon Stewart Absolutely Rips Apart CNN's Boston Coverage | Independent Journal Review

Funniest part is near the end, but its all pretty good.

They are useful idiots at the press office. Funny how if they don't have a script they can't work impromptu. Who else does this remind you of...............

Jon Stewert is able to bring light to many situations through his clever use of satire. Many people often put up a mental block for facts they just don't want to accept. Jon is able to get past that block through humor (he passes this block through the back door, sort-of-speak). Anyone who is annoyed or angry by his show probably does not want to know the truth about the topic at hand.

I watch his show almost every night - I agree some content, disagree with other content. Just like any other human being, he's not always right, and from his position of hind-sight satire, of course he can tear just about anyone apart.

He's obviously a liberal who's dedicated his show to bashing conservatism, which is fine. But don't pretend he's some sort of comedic voice-of-truth, because, again, it's all from a convenient position.

It's an old story, discussed previously on this forum.

The sad thing about Jon Stewart is that he wouldn't even need to be a good comedian for his show to be good. The clips he shows always sell themselves as funny because they reek of so much in irony. And the fact that he can get this kind of material daily says a lot about politics and the media. It's actually pretty depressing.

And if it seems like he likes to bash conservatives, it may be because they reek of irony waaaay too much.

I didn't realize that CNN is considered a conservative news outlet.
