Opinion Journalism

Perhaps opinion journalism is not real journalism, perhaps that is indeed sad that many in our age group get their news from Jon Stewart, but you have to admit, he is funny. And I appreciate that he at least admits that his show is written from a certain perspective. What bothers me is when news channels (cough, fox news, cough) state that the coverage they provide is impartial, when it clearly is not. This is a fairly hilarious clip of the Daily Show wherein Jon Stewart rips some Palin supporters to shreds. Yes, the clips are taken out of context, yes it is from a decidedly liberal perspective, but also yes: it is funny as hell.
