I love Jon Stewart!

I really REALLY feel that way if I watch Fox. No kidding, but a bit more animated rather than subdued. I just keep jumping up and hollering at Hannity as if he can hear me, desperate to give some sort of voice to the silent truth they so cheezily circumnavigate.

My wife blocked it from our TV sets. Which I learned really puts a knot in their neilsen nickers.

My blood pressure has dropped dramatically since the Fox blackout.

Now I let Media Matters watch for me. I hope they aren't suffering the same aging process that Stewart's staffer succumbed to.

Clearly, you have to be brain-addled and half-awake to watch Fox regularly in the first place, it only makes sense that any wide awake, intelligent observer would eventually be lulled into the same dull despondency.

wait wait wait wait wait. WAIT! So, John Stewart's response to Hannity's apology is a joke about how bad his show is? Come ON! The guy apologized for making a mistake. No mistake was made here. This was deliberate! Why can't John do the right thing and demand Sean apologize for what he actually did? He had him in checkmate! Ugh, funny shows. Go figure.

Can someone please pick up the ball Stewart dropped?

Stewart makes a serious point here. Why the heck is Hannity apologizing to Jon Stewart? Jon Stewart was probably thankful for the material. Jon Stewart is in the business of satire, and Hannity made his day by faking the news. It is all of his viewers that Sean Hannity needs to apologize to. Sean Hannity needs to stand up and say, "Sorry America, we misled you. We are trying to make it look as though there is a giant conservative movement taking place, but in fact we are re-using footage of an earlier demonstration to try to prove that the crowds keep coming. So please do not believe that there are many thousands of protesters marching on Washington against this health care bill. In fact, there are not. In fact, most people seem to support health care reform. In fact, there were a lot more protesters marching for gay rights than there were marching against health care reform. We are sorry, and we will try to stop fomenting hate and conflict where not very much of it actually exists." That is the apology that Sean Hannity needs to make.
