Despite my issues with Jon Stewart's derrogatory comments about people of color on his Today show interview with Katie Couric, the Daily Show host should be commended on his recent
(Oct. 15, 2004) confrontation with the hosts of CNN's Crossfire.
It's not often that someone gets the window of opportunity to challenge corporate right-wing media's adgenda on the air. Stewart was able to achieve what most free thinking American's dream of doing--unobstructed by manipulative media moguls who, for the most part, spoon feed or 'spin' world news and politics for unsuspecting individuals.
Fueling wars by supporting our current war-mongering, imperialist administration is just one of the many physically and psychological damages that pollute our globe.

Let's hope that gave Crossfire's loyal cattle a better sense of what a real debate and opposing viewpoints are really like.
