I concur. Stewart has a great take on the current media in the interview he did with Chappelle. I've posted it here, it didn't get much traction. I thought the Colbert Report was one of the most clever, funny and original shows ever made. When the GOP rep from Texas, (whose name escapes me, he was huge and got caught up in ethics issues forcing him to resign) cited Colbert as a "conservative pundit" I lost it. Sadly, Colbert is now a parody of his former self.

Agreed 100%. It's not really a tangent either, as this entire thread is about a story that is a case study in modern "journalism".
