Jon Stewart demonstrating why he is the best news team on TV. The extraordinary hypocrisy of so many in the news media and politics brought to you by the best news team on TV - The Daily Show. I would have said more, but the clip more than speaks for itself.
And the most emailed story on Yahoo News this morning was this one, exposing the number of fallacies in yesterday's GOP convention. Of course, a lie repeated often enough becomes part of people's consciousness, until people can't tell it apart from the truth.

Ah ... now its sexism
This is a really good interview with Carly Fiorina.
Apparently, Sarah Palin wasn't picked because she is a woman. She was picked because she was more qualified than Barack Obama. And, its sexism to say otherwise, despite the fact that Carly herself knows nothing else about her. Also, it seems not to matter that Sarah Palin has diametrically opposite views as McCain on key issues such as global warming, because "people don't vote on single issues". Apparently, this is about diversity and coming together, except that many of these issues may be issues she will have to deal with.
Apparently, 20 months as Governor of Alaska (which, I am told has fewer people than a neighbourhood in Bethesda, MD), and 8 years as mayor of a town of 5000 (with 54 people under her) is enough executive experience to be President, more so than years in the US Senate. As Colbert points out in the clip below, by that token, Palin actually has more experience than McCain. Isn't the ticket the wrong way around?
