The Fake News beats the Real News™

If you missed it on Fark, then you might want to check it out in VIDEO or TRANSCRIPT.

Jon Stewart handed the hosts of Crossfire their arses on a platter. It really is best in video.

They expected some complacent celebrity guest hawking his book, and ended up regretting it. Jon presented a message that needed to be heard -- the media has shirked its responsibility to the People.

The heart is right here:

STEWART: You know, the interesting thing I have is, you have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably.

CARLSON: You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think.

STEWART: You need to go to one.

The thing that I want to say is, when you have people on for just knee-jerk, reactionary talk...

CARLSON: Wait. I thought you were going to be funny. Come on. Be funny.

STEWART: No. No. I'm not going to be your monkey.
