Jon Stewart: Enemy of Democracy?

A fellow named Richard Morin of the Washington Post recently wrote an article questioning whether Jon Stewart was "an enemy of democracy" because his show was too cynical.

Jon Stewart's show is the most informative outlet for "news" on television today. The fact is that television is entertainment even if the content is news. Jon Stewart at least admits that his show is inherently about entertainment and not about news and does a better job exploring issues in detail and cutting through the cable news crap than anyone else.

Now, as for those who are making young people cynical about politics....that is an entire different issue having nothing to do with Stewart.
