Apropos to Journalism

And also to my post yesterday about the study about The Daily Show/Colbert Report.

One of my main arguments for saying that they are journalists is the interview portion of the show. Stewart asked prepared, well-informed, and intelligent questions, with clear logic and a desire for an actual answer behind it.

Last night, he had on Douglas Feith, who was Undersecretary of Defense under Donald Rumsfeld. Feith has released a book about the administration 's internal and external discussions in the run-up to the Iraq war. Believe me, i watch the news (because i'm a bit of a junkie), and you don't usually see interviews like this. In fact, you rarely if ever do.

Watch HERE. And learn.
