Jon Stewart recently went did an interview with Bill O’Reilly. There was the usual Bill making fun of Jon’s stoned viewers and such, but there were some good points.

Jon is good at giving reasonable answers to questions and also pointing out just how silly a question like “How is Obama doing?” can be. To Bill’s credit, he’s okay taking on a light tone with Jon. But when Jon starts talking about the problem (which Jon calls genius) with Fox, Bill uses two examples of people that won’t go on his show as total vindication.

It looks like they couldn’t fit the entire interview into the show, but it’s still worth watching.

The part where O’Reilly compares Fox to a newspaper, which also has opinion, cracks me up. Is the opinion on the front page of a newspaper and does it take up nearly the entire newspaper? MSNBC is also guilty of this. It makes you wonder whether or not they should just be called 24-hour opinion channels.

Enjoy doppelganger week (mine has been John Belushi).
