VIDEO: Jon Stewart blasts media for fanning race war flames
TV Newser: Stewart Targets Media's Play With Race Cards

Jon Stewart took MSNBC and the entire media to task last night on A Daily Show for their focus on, "America's favorite fight starter: Race!"

Stewart highlights the recent MSNBC Las Vegas debate, the media's search for a racial conflict after Sen. Hillary Clinton's MLK comment and the media's penchant for inserting race into the Democratic election.

1. As usual, Jon puts everything in perspective.
I also liked his take on the "crying" incident. "That's it?"

3. "Your mic is on!"
Sigh.

I despair for this country. Our media needs a brain transplant.
