"[Twitter] It's a gimmick." Yes! Thanks, Larry! Finally a news-person admits it.

Jon Stewart and Cenk Uygur are my two favorite people in media today

@Mr9jack9 lol that's true, Stewart is thinking to himself. WTF?

[Mr9jack9]

Every once in a while, there's this look in Stewart's eyes, and he realizes that the questions Larry King is asking him are serious. and it's all he can do to keep from bursting out laughing.

@TheWtfffffffffffffff, Hell, even Tom Brokaw disagrees with you (I'd know, I'm reading his book "Boom" right now and literally just read a short chapter on this very issue). Walter Kronkite wouldn't have fit that bill. News has and always should biased, what it shouldn't be is unfair. You can have an opinion and still present the facts, you just don't replace facts with opinion and the delivery needs to be at least halfway decent.

@homer422 There isn't a forum for truth and bullshit. I don't care what side you're on, passing off crap that never happened for news should get your platform removed from all mediums outside the internet.

[homer422]

@TheWtfffffffffffffff Except everything Fox News reports as 'fact' doesn't pertain to reality. When talking about the ethical responsibility of an media organization, substance comes into play, which is why Fox is on an entirely different spectrum than the rest of the so called "liberal media" palette.

[TheWtfffffffffffffff]

@btaens Jon Stewart is telling CNN that it is not biased enough to the liberal side. When you are standing for the facts and can justify being biased to stuff you think is right, you are just falling towards the level of Fox news, just with a different set of opinions. Fox news justifies their bias by claiming that all media has bias, just towards different sides. If you think that is the right thing to do and you just get to pick the side you think is right, Fox news owned you.
