Jon Stewart Gets It
And unlike anyone else in the US media, has the integrity to show it.
The absolute silliness of the US media and US politicians in talking about the massacre Israel is carrying out in Gaza is wonderfully satirized by John Stewart and The Daily Show. Well, the politicians at least.

Mayor Bloomberg is priceless. He actually got on a plane and traveled to Israel to show support for the Jewish state in this time of desperation and need. It’s not easy carrying out a massacre of a civilian population while being supported by the world’s only superpower and cheered on by that superpower’s vast media network.
But Mr. Bloomberg was welcomed home by shoe throwing New Yorkers as he should be.
Later in the show his guest was David Gregory, the new host of NBC’s Meet The Press. David was let out of John’s little satire but he is clearly vying to be the new face of Israeli propaganda in the US. But I think George Stephanopolous has him beat.
Let’s compare Sunday’s shows to see.
