Trusted!

Time Magazine's online poll suggests Jon Stewart is the most trusted "newsman" in America. That isn't saying much. The mainstream media is getting pounded by online new sources that aren't controlled by corporations or the overclass. More and more Americans simply won't eat shovelful after shovelful of partially hydrogenated frozen concentrated bullshit like they used to.

The players themselves are responsible for their less than genuine or cogent behavior. Katie Couric blew it with her "Katie's Journal" fiasco, so honest and so from the heart Ms. Couric. Charlie Gibson and his step son George Stephanopolous made debate history last summer with fifty two minutes of talking point inspired, conventional wisdom infused, metaphorical grabass that was called a debate. So much for objectivity and basic journalistic convention. Brian Williams' epic, nightly, ever confounding efforts to manufacture consent and opinion are so numerous we will just say this. Tool.

Jon Stewart says what he wants. I hate to use the word truth, because most Americans can't handle the truth, but his truth is so refreshing, so unusual, so needed, he makes the so called "pros" look like Elvis impersonators caught in their dressing rooms adjusting their wigs. I'll throw a little Elvis in for fun.."why can't you see what your doing to me, when I can't believe a word your sayin'."

PWNT!

It says much that Stewart, who was named "most trusted newsman", is a COMEDIAN, as he repeatedly affirms.

Should the newspeople be graded on their comedic rather than journalistic abilities?
