Reply #9: He'd have to arm wrestle with Olbermann for that one, but [View All]

he is one stellar patriot. I used to think he was boilerplate comedian who will take it where he can get it until I saw him on Crossfire or was it Hardball, anyway, he took the hosts to task and they were trying to get him to do his funny schtick and he told them they were killing us, killing democracy. I realized then, that while he is a great comedian, that is dwarfed by his genuine patriotism. For that reason alone, I will follow that man to the ends of the earth. He is very good people.

It's sad that we don't have "real" newscasters anymore, but in his joking way, Jon Stewart is doing some of the best journalism around and he deserves whatever accolades he gets for his journalistic integrity. He's as real as Edward R. Murrow, except he has funnier writers.
