If he can convince one person not to watch the REAL hypocritical crossfire, he's done his job. Stewart is simply backing up what his show said.
Millions of impressionable people watch Lost and America's Top Model. Does that make them irresponsible for portraying islands as having monsters and being skinny as being beautiful? Please. Let's look at this realisticly. Clearly The Daily Show is a political comedy show. It does report on actual events, but it usualyl spinns them in ways that would make wolf blitzer cringe, and they are very conspicuous about it. Also, Jon Stwewrt is not the only writer on TDS. Crossfire is a serious 'debate' show on a news network. It is made to be taken seriously. If you think that a giant corperation controls TDS directly, you've never seen the show. I've seen them bash sponsers and their parent companies.
Kudos John Stwewrt, you owned them!
