Many people may have already seen this... it's an episode of "Crossfire", the now extinct "political debate show" from CNN, that featured opposing polemic diatribes, from the both the right and the left...
On this episode though, they have Jon Stewart as sole guest, who not only doesn't play their game, he takes them (and in the larger sense, much of media's political commentary) to task, and, in a rare episode of candor on television, just says what he thinks. Some people believe that this exchange was the reason for Crossfire's cancellation not too much later.
Watch here at:

Completely disagree..... I grew up with Crossfire..... Crossfire lost its way when it traded in Pat Buchanan, Robert Novak, John Sununu and Micheal Kinsley, for Tucker Carlson, Bob Beckels, Geraldine Ferraro and Paul Begala.
