so. From now on Jon STEWART is going to be the filter for Rachel, Keith,

[UTUSN]

and me?!1 (As to what's APPROPRIATE and what-not.)

1. Not after his interview with Rachel. He showed me where his place is -- clearly

out of his element discussing what's wrong with tv news. When he defended Fixed News so simplistically as aiming to get high ratings, shaming Rachel's use of the word "teabag" as derrogatory, he dismissed himself as a shill who is looking for higher ratings himself. Perhaps he's aiming to widen his viewing audience by attracting rightwingers?

Jon's good in his own venue, with a script from his amazing writers.

As a filter for what I like to watch -- no way.

2. Who made that claim?

(Hint: I'll take "What is a strawman" for $500, Alex!)
