Papa Bears and Panda Bears: Bill O'Reilly on the Daily Show
Jon Stewart engaged in a little "dialogue with a demagogue" when he interviewed Bill O'Reilly last week on The Daily Show. Worth watching.
A great example of just how good Jon Stewart is: here he is verbally sparring with Bill O'Reilly on last Thursday's Daily Show. Demonstrates why it's important to let conservatives speak their minds: they give you such great openings to respond to.
Of special note: Stewart decimating O'Reilly's idea of what is "traditional" in this country, by noting that our traditions represent not a fictitious Ozzie and Harriet mythology but "a progression of individual freedom".
O'Reilly's final gaffe in the interview, not really political in nature: he referred to a little toy bear that Jon gave him (to assuage his fears about the dangers of an Obama presidency) as a "panda". Basically proving that Stewart's admonition was correct: he—and those like him—really do need to get out more.
