N.Y. Times Defends Comparison of Jon Stewart to Murrow
New York Times writer Brian Stelter tries to convince a skeptical Don Lemon why Jon Stewart deserved to compared to Edward R. Murrow.

First of all Jon Stewart isn’t a journalist and doesn’t deserve the comparison to Murrow or any other journalist. Second as AIM’s Cliff Kincaid recently pointed out the Republicans only held up the bill until the cost issue was addressed and then gladly supported it.
There was no great feat of reporting on Stewart’s part but Stelter almost made his role seem Pulitzer Prize worthy as he fawned over the comedian during the interview.
Maybe that guy in Florida who called 911 to have them arrest the news should call in and have Stelter charged with journalistic malfeasance.

Mr. Irvine:
Thank you for sifting through the muck that is CNN to bring us this precious nugget. New York Times writer Brian Stelter: a “glittering jewel of colossal ignorance”. Also I would like to send out a big – That a Boy – to Pinch and Bill who sure can pick-um. Good luck with the future of the New York Times Company. I bet Punch is proud.
You don’t actually think anyone on FOX is a journalist do you? If so you need to have your head examined. Seriously, Stewart is more accurate than anyone on FOX not NEWS.
FOX has nearly single handedly destroyed true investigative journalism over the last 15 years or so. They have been able to imply a false equivalency between what they do and what all the other media outlets do.
If you know anything about Murrow and if you actually understand the comparison you would see the connection but that would require critical thinking skills…..something that most conservatives simply do not posses.
And the NEW YORK SLIMES continues to lose readers at a extrodary rate becuase their parrots dont want it in their cages anymore
