A positive news trend I see is actually in comedy. I think Jon Stewart holds people in power to a higher level of accountability than many political correspondents do. He asks tough questions, and I think his show was the first to juxtapose politicians current statements with archival clips of them saying just the opposite–illustrating their hypocrisy. Now Rachel Maddow is using the same technique to excellent effect. She also does a great job covering stories that are largely being overlooked, like C Street. It’s opinion journalism but she does a lot of reporting with it. It’s based on fact. There’s a form of opinion journalism that’s not based on fact and I find that very troublesome. I suppose Glenn Beck and all of that.
