Jon Stewart Interviews Kathleen Sibelius (Supposedly A Disastrous Interview For Sibelius)


Alan: This interview is considered a disaster for Sibelius because media outlets are manned by such polarized spokespeople -- whether right-wing or left -- that partisans are fuddled when anyone (Stewart in this instance) asks challenging questions.

I do not see this interview as a disaster for Stewart.
I see it as a triumph for journalism "the way it's supposed to be"
rather than the way it never, ever is on the right side of the aisle.
