Jon Stewart took on the role of a journalist covering “journalism” when he examined the exclusive White House story done by Brian Williams. Stewart is exactly right. Can you spell o-b-s-e-q-u-i-o-u-s?

I’m aware that I’m posting repeatedly to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. I will continue to do so as long as they make the obvious points that the corporate media is choking on.
