Jon Stewart's Daily Show gives you the news that the news media miss

The Carpetbagger makes a very good point. Every major news organization mischaracterized Michael O’Hanlon and Ken Pollack as war critics.

The only place in the major media that pushed back was the fake news show -- the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Here’s the exchange between Bill Kristol and Jon Stewart on The Daily Show:

Stewart: Can you see how someone who is skeptical, basically we’re hearing from people like yourself, people like the president, ‘Trust us to undo the terrible thing we did.” Don’t you, you see where it’s tough.
