Stewart on O'Reilly

I was only able to watch a little of Bill O'Reilly's interview, if it can be called that, of Jon Stewart. I question the term "interview" as appropriate because O'Reilly is not a journalist. He's an opinionist. He's the guy who wants to be heard over having a conversation. O'Reilly isn't looking for answers or understanding, he wants ratings. And I can dig that. But O'Reilly should just say it. He called out Glenn Beck as a non-journalist, why does he think he's a notch above Beck? Oh, I know. Because Beck is younger and crazier and just as Dr. Laura said Stewart distanced himself from President Obama, O'Reilly distanced himself from Beck and the money-making fear machine that he is.

I'd love to see the president do a back and forth with the Republicans every month. Throw in the Democrats, too. Now that the country has a president who knows what his role is - as described by the Constitution - it's becoming painfully obvious that most of them don't know it's Congress's jobs to write the law. That's why those mofos are running around like the Keystone Cops. Actually, it's just the Dems running around. The Republicans and that asshole Lieberman just shout "No!" So while the Fox heads- and even CNN's - talk about Mr. Obama's tone or his tie, Stewart, unfortunately, will be probably be the one actually discussing whether his comments were accurate. I think it's unfortunate because Stewart is on COMEDY Central and O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity or on Fox NEWS.
