Not all social positions are equally defensible. Thus, a good journalist will call out injustice and bigotry, rather than simply nodding his or her head out of “respect” for all opinions that an interviewee cares to serve up. That’s the thought I was thinking as I watched Jon Stewart conducting this excellent interview of Mike Huckabee. I’m glad Stewart didn’t let Huckabee hide behind the Bible or hide behind social “tradition” when Huckabee argued that gays shouldn’t have the same rights to marriage as heterosexuals.
