These clips from the Daily Show need little comment.
The first one is from June 3, the second two are from last night, June 8.
Videos one and two pertain to a certain very early morning talk show host whose news show has suddenly been sponsored entirely by Starbucks, complete with product placement so comically in-your-face that it skates up to parody, then plunges right off that edge.
Stewart had a few things to say about this Pay to Drink deal. When the talk show host struck back, Stewart blew the ball over the net again without breaking a sweat.
Clip three features Stewart’s comments about, among other things, CNN’s infatuation with Facebook and Twitter.
It is always refreshing when Stewart—or anybody for that matter—steps in and calls the idiocy that we are repeatedly being asked to accept as news— for what it is.

Stewart was wrong. The douchebag was right. Morning Joe IS a joke…
When will Stewart have something to say about a White House press corps the spends more time covering Presidential dates in Paris and New York than forcing answers about spins, such as on employment, from the White House?
Actually Woody, he had a lot to say one night about the press’s endless and rather bizarre coverage of Presidential dates rather than actual…like….news.
I must have missed that one, Celeste, and the one before that one and the one before that one and the one before…. Anyway, good for John Stewart, then.
Did you see this unbiased coverage of Obama?
Newsweek editor Evan Thomas brought adulation over President Obamas Cairo speech to a whole new level on Friday, declaring on MSNBC: “I mean, in a way, Obama’s standing above the country, above…above the world, he’s sort of God.” 6/5/09
Bow down and praise him.
I heard Limbaugh a while ago refer to the White House press as “the state media.” Pretty accurate.
