A justifiable self-engrandizing episode. With Jon Stewart playing a meek part.

I give you this. The day that Jon Stewart single-handedly killed CNN's Crossfire.

It is worth seeing this again. It was incredible what Stewart was able to do that day.

And Crossfire was deader than a Tyson chicken within weeks. Regretfully, like Frankenstein, the monster was ressurected. I have no idea whether it is still going. But I stand with Jon Stewart, that it is a very bad program.
