Jon Stewart and Lou Dobbs show how intelligent interviews are conducted
I was a bit disappointed he didn't take Dobbs to task for the whole 'birther' BS, but if Dobbs had stayed on this intellectual path and not gone off the deep end, he'd have been a real asset for CNN instead of the liability that he became.
In watching Jon Stewart work, you see why people who are tired of the angry blowhard rhetoric. They're tired of the politics of destruction long practice by right wing talk show hosts, or left wing nut bags, or wherever extremists ply their trade.
Maybe it's a product of the Baby Boomer generation attitude of, "If I don't get my way, I'm gonna have a temper tantrum." Here's hoping the succeeding X and Y generation maintains their current cynicism towards unmitigated partisan bovine excrement and has the sense to take the public dialogue in a more civilized direction.
