Obama gives most impressive convention speech ever

Sen. Barack Obama dominated history last Thursday when he presented the most powerful convention speech to ever grace the United States. He addressed his critics, answered specifics, and told everyone the election of Sen. McCain would mean 4 more years of war and a weak economy.

Jon Stewart to Journalists: "Why do I take this more seriously than you?"

Jon Stewart, host of Comedy Central's late-night fake-news show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, invited journalists from print and TV to a breakfast gathering in a conference room at the University of Denver to tell that they are doing their jobs poorly.

He rails against the 24-hour news cycle, which, he says, creates "that false sense of urgency they create, the sense that everything is breaking news... The 24-hour networks are now driving the narratives and everyone else is playing catch-up."

Note that Jon Stewart is a comedian who hosts a show that used to come on after a show about puppets making crank phone calls.
