In praise of Jon Stewart
Pseudo-Adrienne at Alas, a blog quotes GLAAD:
‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart’ Uses Humor to Skewer Homophobes -April 26, 2005
In its “fake news” coverage, ‘The Daily Show’ uses its incisive wit to bring to light the bigotry and prejudice of those who oppose full civil rights for gay and lesbian people. Stewart’s comments on the Texas measure to bar gay men and lesbians from becoming foster parents are particularly on-target.
Since I cancelled cable, I’ve had to depend on Crooks and Liars (and BitTorrent) to keep up with Jon’s genius. Here’s a round-up of this week’s fun:
• Gas prices, oil, CNN, and Saudi Love
• Judges V Jesus 05’
• Microsoft gets the Daily Show Treatment with Follow up
Bonus video from last week:
• Town Hall Meetings with the Samantha Bee Effect
• From Jimmy Kimmel, Bush on corn (for Earth Day)
