hmmmm, so I guess corporate mainstream media sucks. What an insightful and scathing observation.

whatever, my little ray of sunshine...it's no new view point that big media sucks...but I will submit to you that getting to use big media's air time and breadth exposure only to trash them (to their face) while promoting your book and further solidifying your fan base in 13 minutes or less is gangster++

The site I originally dowloaded this clip from (I can't strean ATM) has recently surpassed the Terabyte bandwidth mark (in three days), the iFilm link was tracking @ about 512K individual downloads (iFilm has since removed the count from the website, but still hosts the file)...it's probably a safe assumption that the number of ppl who have viewed this clip it's greater than the actual viewing audience that day....which isn't that shocking but sort of interesting.

Yes, my dearest sycophant, it was a masterful piece of self-promotion and somewhat of a jab at the mass media but worthy of jaw dropping? Stewart stated that Crossfire sucked. This is hardly an astute observation and one that is invalidated entirely when he admits to watching the show everyday. What about not watching at all?

Now if you want real gangster, homeboy, you should go back to the site and keep watching. After the Stewart clip there is a new, i think, Snoop vid and it is fresh

1) At least he's not preaching to the choir like most. Michael Moore is currently touring the country giving lectures; who do you think is attending these lectures? The devout anti-republicans, of course. To go on somebody else's show to publicly denounce the way they do business is not something that happens every day. If Snoop had been told that MTV was coming to his crib to do a "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" show, and then as he's showing them his Krystal jacuzzi the host of the show started relentlessly attacking him saying things like, "you've got solid gold faucets on the spigots you wash your dog's feet in, yet in your ancestral homeland of africa millions are starving and diseased and exploited by many of the American corporations that make up your enormous stock portfolio," and so on, well...I'd find that to be entertaining TV as well. But certainly no new information to you and me.

2) Why does Stewart watch Crossfire everyday? Um, it's kinda his job. It's research for his show. I'm sure Jon writes his monthly TiVo bill off his taxes as a business expense. The same way I write the cost of every album I buy off mine.
