Quote of the Day
On Friday's "Crossfire," Jon Stewart said what many viewers feel helpless to correct: that news programs have become echo chambers for political attacks.

Mr. Carlson (of "Crossfire") took the offense, charging that Mr. Stewart had no right to complain since he had asked Senator John Kerry softball questions on "The Daily Show," Mr. Stewart looked genuinely appalled. "I didn't realize - and maybe this explains quite a bit - that the news organizations look to Comedy Central for their cues on integrity." When Mr. Carlson continued to argue, Mr. Stewart shut him down hard. "You are on CNN," he said. "The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls."
