Until the Jon Stewart Journalism Deprogramming Center opens for business, all TV interviewers should ask themselves a simple question right before the camera goes on: What would Jon Stewart do?
Pure fantasy, but fun to think about. I have a few other fantasies about Arianna, but none of them involve Jon Stewart. In them I do my own comedy, thank you.
Update:
Go read The Rude One:
Cheney may as well have been talking to a John King puppet. More precisely, he may as well have been jacking off with a John King puppet on his hand. Because, apparently, challenges and follow-up questions are to John King what boric acid is to ants. He dare not even step near it.
John King's approach to Cheney was like a cat in heat's approach to an alley tom. He put up his haunches and let the ex-VP go to town. [...]
Taking one in the ass for the team seems to be the watchword these days for what used to be called 'journalism'.
