Bottom clip here. Some more info here.
So apparently telling the truth is making people feel a little cynical about how the country is run, about elections, and how choosing between two dumbasses means that our electoral system is flawed. And that is "anti-democracy" to the Snow Blower and the rest of the Fox News idiots.
Go-go Fox News, where they will be the good guys by not reporting about anything bad that discredits Duh-Duh-Duh-Dubya's reign. So there you have it, only those who report the wrongdoings are "anti-democracy" again, versus the actual events themselves.
"It seems like what this really comes down to is that Stewart is telling the truth...and by telling the truth, he's somehow ruining democracy for everyone. Way to go, Jon."
Events like Senator Inhofe being an absolute moron and spin-doctor by saying that global warming as reported by TIME was an absolute hoax (when a few HUGE glaciers that I knew of as a child, that were there for THOUSANDS of years...are now gone or nearly so), and a Nevada Senator actually cooking up "scientific evidence" that mercury isn't harmful at all when present in wild fish local to his constituency. His constituents in the mining industry.
To top it off, there's a SHITLOAD more important things Congress could be worried about, but it seems that the only three issues of concern of recent are: violent video games, homosexual marriage, and flag burning. Yet these assholes are paid this for working only about 92 days out of the year, with a pay raise of about $3k each/ year, with expenses covered, and they had turned down raising the minimum wage increase so that it is still at $5.15, as it has been at for the last eight years. In fact, some like those who volunteered their lives and health for their country, are looking at getting a pay cut as the veteran service organizations were often barred from attending Congress, which is usually the only thing keeping the VA chairman and the rest of the congress from being absolute idiots. (Only in person do they realize they're tampering with the welfare of many who were trained to kill.) Something about a shitload more vets not being taken care of in time by the VA, who sits on their ass for 6 months before they *have* to acknowledge giving benefits to the disabled.
And now, to end with a clip from the second article:
