Olbermann Rips Stewart
Politico reports:
MSNBC host Keith Olbermann says Jon Stewart jumped the shark during his rally over the weekend with his broad attacks on cable news.
Taking to Twitter on Saturday, Olbermann wrote: “It wasn't a big shark but Jon Stewart jumped one just now with the ‘everybody on Thr cable is the same’ naiveté.”
Stewart frequently trashed the tone on cable news during the rally in Washington, and on the “Daily Show,” he consistently attacks both Fox News and MSNBC.
"If we amplify everything, we hear nothing," Stewart said. "The press is our immune system. If it overreacts to everything, we eventually get sicker."
In defense of cable, Olbermann wrote: “The America before today's cable wasn't reasonable discussion. It was the 1-sided lockstep of Fox and people afraid of Fox. That got us Iraq.”
