What the Mainstream Media Can Learn From Jon Stewart
When Hub Brown's students first told him they loved "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and sometimes even relied on it for news, he was, as any responsible journalism professor would be, appalled.
Now he's a "Daily Show" convert.
"There are days when I watch 'The Daily Show,' and I kind of chuckle. There are days when I laugh out loud. There are days when I stand up and point to the TV and say, 'You're damn right!'" says Brown, chair of the communications department at Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and an associate professor of broadcast journalism.
Brown, who had dismissed the faux news show as silly riffing, got hooked during the early days of the war in Iraq, when he felt most of the mainstream media were swallowing the administration's spin rather than challenging it. Not "The Daily Show," which had no qualms about second-guessing the nation's leaders. "The stock-in-trade of 'The Daily Show' is hypocrisy, exposing hypocrisy. And nobody else has the guts to do it," Brown says. "They really know how to crystallize an issue on all sides, see the silliness everywhere."
Sometimes, comedy is the only way to convey the truth to a hysterical and fickle population.
funny, yes, but notice how, in the end, John Stewart was 'attacked' for being a WallStreeter and not Jewish, aka supporter of Zion? He isn't known for his comic attacks on Israel, is he? But he's allowed to attack everyone else... interesting... seems the same pattern in most Western society, with or without the exposition of hypocrisy.
