Jon Stewart Gets Serious - Again


Last time, Jon took the media to task over holding politicians feet to the fire by begging for an honest public debate.

He's done it again and I think everyone should see it. (NSFW! F-word alert!)

Part 1:


Part 2:


Part 3:


Jim Cramer seems to me a financial expert desperately trying to bring financial knowledge to the masses. I Tivo'd his show for a while but the non-stop gags eventually drove me away. I agree with Stewart when he points out it is unfair to make Cramer the face of the mess we're in. But I also believe the points about most professional financial media and reporters falling down on the job are very, very valid.

Would someone please explain to me how a copyright treaty can be "classified in the interest of national security pursuant to Executive Order 12958"? when requested by someone utilizing the FOIA? It's a copyright treaty for crying out loud-- or is it?

I wonder if computer/phone/personal device time has similar consequences? I expect they do.

If that's true then we need to ensure our schools are ready to get folks trained for industries that are or soon will be growing and hiring.
