C-SPAN recently ran an interview with Jon Stewart and just like his appearance on Crossfire, he continues to roast the conventional television media for participating in the farce that is “popular journalism”.

I’ll undoubtably rant about this some more in my podcast, but here is an idea for thought: Fox News made a deliberate choice to advocate the conservative agenda in America, and has become a commercial success on that basis. Here’s the question: why can’t a news network be similarly focussed, not on the “liberal” viewpoint, or the “left” viewpoint, but the viewpoint of integrity? Why not make the news network that really is Fair and Balanced and News You Can Trust?

More in the audio podcast soon. Download and listen to his interview, it’s great.
