I know this is a pretty short clip but i feel like it is definitely worth talking about. Apparently John Stewart called fox out for playing a false clip on television. I think this clip illustrates some good as well as bad things about the media. One good thing about having two sides that hate each other is that they keep a watchful eye on the other side to see if they screw up. I have spent most of my blogs bashing the two party system and its many flaws and haven't really pointed out any good aspects. This is clearly an example of how we can benefit from a two party system. I would also like to point out the cheap shot that Sean Hannity threw in at the end about thanking Stewart and his writers for watching the program. It almost seemed as though Hannity was about to swallow his pride for once and not have the last word, and then he made this comment. I used to listen to his radio program until i became discussed by the way he handled any opposition. He never lets anyone finish a thought and plays distorted segments of clips to back up his points (something he accuses the left of doing.) I would have really liked to see him simply apologize and then leave it at that but I guess that will just never happen.

thats certainly true, with as many problems as we have with our two party system at least we'll never have to worry about someone messing up and us not hearing about it
