Jon Stewart Reams CNBC (and Big Business, Too!)

I was going to post something about something today, I'm sure, but this Daily Show clip made me forget all about that. Pissed off because a CNBC personality canceled an appearance on the show, Stewart launched a critique of CNBC that shows how the business network screwed up its coverage of the worst economic crisis to hit the United States in decades. I don't think CNBC is solely guilty in this respect—so much of mainstream business reporting (especially on television) seems to be insanely bullish—and I wonder why we haven't seen even more of this kind of reality check, but I'll take it, share it, and hope that there's more to come.

Thanks to Gothamist for the lead.

Jon Stewart's Field Day with Fox Propaganda

Jon Stewart shows how Karl Rove, Bill O'Reilly, Dick Morris, McCain senior advisor Nancy Pfotenhauer, and Fox News in general engage in propagandizing on behalf of the Republican ticket. Oh—and Rove says he thinks Sarah Palin was mayor of the second-largest city in Alaska, but Wasilla is, at the most, the fourth-largest city. (It is almost twice as populous as Old Bethpage but a third of the size of Plainview.)

I have a theory: The more these people/entities bullshit, the less good there is to say about their "friends" and the less there is to criticize about their "enemies." It's too much to think Fox would change its ways, but I hope these people do not get media platforms elsewhere for this type of propaganda. Same goes for Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh and Mike Savage. The scoundrels!
