This song ain't about you

For those of you not in the U.S., let me provide some context. Back in 2004, there was this show called Crossfire on CNN that was supposed to provide some fair and balanced view on policies. It so happens that the format was in effect producing an illusion of balance by giving voice to opposite views of the political spectrum without providing any feedback as to whether any of these views (on both sides) were grounded in truth.





Then they invited Jon Stewart of The Daily Show, a comic show on the Comedy Channel, and this is what this video is about. It is safe to say that the Crossfire show did not survive much longer after his appearance.





Did we see a repeat of that last night for Business/Financial Cable Channels ? You may want to check that out in the full version of the interview by Jon Stewart of Jim Cramer, a famous show host on one of these Business/Financial Cable Channels: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 ( the title of this entry is excerpted from part 3).
