  1. So I finally watched the whole "Jon Stewart destroys Crossfire / Tucker Carlson" clip & tbh, I don't think he really got a chance to make the point he was trying to make... which I guess is itself his point: these shows are a bad format for point-making: youtube.com/watch?v=S6ID-BkMCEw

      Like, at the end, Begala was trying to tease out an inconsistency claiming "First you're saying we're too hard, now you're saying we're too easy, which is it?" and I wish Stewart had had a chance to respond with "It's neither: it's that you don't deal in matters of substance."

        Like, if your question isn't actually about anything that actually matters, it ultimately won't matter whether it was too hard or too easy to answer. But, of course due to time constraints and people liking to talk over one another, he didn't get a chance to make that point.
