Woodstock, please tell us more about this topic. There are a lot of members of this site who aren't American and a lot of Americans who don't have cable.

My husband did. He said Jon was great.

I love the Daily Show. They have the best election coverage.

I usually like Jon Stewart but, on Crossfire he seemed like a sanctimonious punk. He agreed to go on a show that has followed the same format for years. Then tells them your format is no good do what I want instead. The hosts should have pointed out that he was only there to promote his book.

Jon's book is #1 on the New York Time Best Seller list. Jon is trying to change America's news coverage. His method is to expose it's vapidity. He is wildly successful. The joke was that Carlson and Begala thought that Jon's comedy is spoofing politicians but it's media that are the joke. They didn't do their homework - like watching the Daily Show once.
The book is very funny and very scary.
