I was amazed by Jon Stewarts appearance on Crossfire. He had the balls to tell the commentators that just spouting talking points and calling that debate was doing a disservice to America by denigrating the notion of idea exchange. That's great, but I figured it was just effort in vain. Turns out, CNN was listening, and they recently dumped both of their talking head opinion shows, and even cited Jon Stewart as they did it. Someone there obviously has a strong sense of journalistic integrity and the ability to distinguish between news and opinion.
Wouldn't it be great if Fox would do the same. Of course, with Fox the pundits are only half the problem. The talking heads who present the news are just as biased as the news they present. Fox, the new American Pravda.
