O ReiLY?

I can't wait to watch the Daily Show tomorrow to hear what John Stewart was saying when fox cut awkwardly from one frame to another. That interview looked like it was edited by a drunk one-eyed six year old with a meat cleaver.

I watch fox occasionally... you know for educational purposes. See how the other half thinks. Why is everyone on that network so angry? I saw 4 people interviewed on "the no spin zone", 3 of which are conservative and the fourth being liberal John Stewart. The first 3 men are 1.) frowning 2.) yelling and 3.) using negative language. And the fourth man was too, after being on fox for longer than 5 minutes. The only things I hear on that network are hate and fear... and that the only viewers of The Daily Show are stoned losers. Which is why the host of said show is important enough to be on your big important news show! The largest majority of people who watch The Daily Show are college students, the 18-25 crowd that is taking over this country in the next generation. We're here to pick the meat from your bones, and usher in the future as we see it old man. And there will be gays in the military, and social programs, and modern infrastructure.

I'm very open minded, I try to watch multiple news channels... but ultimately I prefer to watch news anchors that exhibit the same characteristics I like in teachers. Even-spoken, even-tempered, kind-faced, offering clear & rational explanations. So that I may understand. So that I may learn. Why do we watch the news?


PS.. I watched the post-script where a body-language expert analyzed the John Stewart v O'Reilly interview. O'Reilly was like (ahem, loosely transcribed) "Yeah, so he was scared cuz you told me I was a big strong man with powerful pointy gestures, real good!" And the body-expert pointed out that Stewart was in control the entire time even though he was out of his element and being confronted. He was really on top of the interview the entire time.
