In Praise of Jon Stewart

Hopefully, you saw Stewart emerge as a serious journalist on Thursday night's episode of THE DAILY SHOW. He aggressively pursued Jim Cramer of CNBC fame for not doing enough to draw attention to the financial crisis in this country, for not being alert enough to catch it before it erupted into a nonstop lava flow of loss.

Too many people don't take Stewart seriously because his show is on Comedy Central. It's a shame. Even though we laugh as he pokes fun of current events, he makes his audience aware that the world has dire problems we must be deal with.
