Jon Stewart in print

A profile/interview/deconstruction of Jon Stewart and The Daily Show, courtesy of The Guardian.
If the parties and the media serve the country so badly, why do Americans put up with it? "Because for the majority of Americans life is pretty tolerable," says Stewart. "It's very hard to organise reasonable people with moderate views. Reasonable people with moderate views don't usually light their torches and head out to town with pitchforks shouting, 'Be reasonable.' Shit has to get really bad before people stand up and take notice."
If you aren't already addicted to this show, get your VCR in gear! I mean!!
