The truth is out there. But who would’ve expected to find it in a comedy show? While many Christian churches act as a supportive shill for America’s government, and peddle more propaganda about Israel than politicians, the truth exposing the absolute epitome of ignorance and intolerance enveloping America was revealed June 9, 2010 in an episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart , for which he deserves a Pulitzer Prize. Stewart skewered the White House Press Corps for its response to the untimely resignation of the venerable media matron Helen Thomas by roasting them over the flames of their own inadequacies. Brilliantly so. Using a comedic style that has catapulted his Comedy Central program to the forefront of the list of must-watch NEWS programs, Stewart capitalizes upon sad reflections of America’s failed Fourth Estate by merely holding up a mirror … then adding a punch line. King of News Comedy Stewart set up his hilarious dismantling of “mainstream” media with this intro: Still, the circumstances surrounding her sad resignation raises some serious issues: What’s the line between opinion and opinion journalism? When does America’s unwavering defense of Israel begin to compromise our unwavering defense of free speech? Does our media demonstrate a casual bias against the Arab world and the suffering of the Palestinians? These are hard questions reporters must be asking themselves in the wake of Thomas’ departure. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon – Thurs 11p / 10c
