I finally got a chance to watch the video of Jon Stewart on Crossfire telling Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson, with no real humor, that what they do is bad for the country. In brief, it's fantastic. I have to imagine that something like this wouldn't have happened in the not too distant past -- maybe a year or even six months ago. The media's failing as a 'fourth estate' is remarkably quickly becoming conventional wisdom -- to the point that Stewart was pretty safe to assume that folks watching wouldn't think "now just what in the heck is that young man talking about?" I for one find that yummy.
