Jon Stewart: an anarchist

Richard Morin writes:

This is not funny: Jon Stewart and his hit Comedy Central cable show may be poisoning democracy.

Two political scientists found that young people who watch Stewart's faux news program, "The Daily Show," develop cynical views about politics and politicians that could lead them to just say no to voting.
To which I say: great! Let's keep as many people as possible from voting. The public realizes how corrupt the ruling party is and the intellectual vacuity of its opposition. Another Constitutional Convention, I say!
