Random quotes, images, and thoughts from Ed Ireson.
What cable news needs, instead, is something more like what Stewart himself has been doing on “The Daily Show.” Instead of bringing in the strategists, consultants and professional outrage artists who predominate on other networks, he ushers conservative commentators into his studio for conversations that are lengthy, respectful and often riveting. Stewart’s series of debates on torture and interrogation policy, in particular — featuring John Yoo and Marc Thiessen, among others — have been more substantive than anything on Fox or MSNBC.
If a news network were to go to a proper debate format… where people had straight-forward, no bullshit, discussion with one another… America might actually have a chance. We want discussion, not politicking.
