John Stewart on Crossfire

I don't think so at all. I think he had every right (and I think he is right) to accuse both hosts of being political hacks.

That's fine and good, but don't pretend to be honest debate, or information. Did you see the moment when both of them pretended to be unfamilliar with the term 'spin alley'? They aren't journalists, they're political activists. They don't hold anyones feet to the fire they function as surrogates in a slap fest.

It's like FOX calling itself 'fair and balanced' or O'reilly saying his show is the 'no spin zone'. It shouldn't be alllowed to go unchallenged. Whats the matter, these 'tough question' guys can't cope with being questioned?

You can dress a turn in a prom gown, you can take it to the prom, but it isn't going to dance.
