"I guess if you say things outloud they come true" - Jon Stewart

Now, I really must watch the whole clip.

You know, I never really watch the show...sure I would bump into it time to time, but really wasn't Crossfire just a cardboard debate? I mean if your agreeing on something that isn't really debating, is it?

Jon Stewart did his part by exposing crossfire what it really was/is.

The NYTimes had a good op/ed on this today...here is a link (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/09/opinion/9sun3.html?oref=login) and a snippet.

"Perhaps this trend has gone as far as it can go. Mr. Stewart's "Daily Show," which is especially popular with young people, is a reminder that television was supposed to be a "cool" medium, best suited to people whose jugular veins aren't throbbing. And last month, when the tsunami hit Asia, viewers got a chance to notice what they were in danger of losing to talk TV. CNN, with a comparatively large international army of journalists at its disposal, went out and covered the story. Fox News and MSNBC had to depend more on conversationalists in the studio, all of whom agreed that tidal waves were very, very bad."
