Jon Stewart Spoofs Keith Olbermann

Jon Stewart of The Daily Show mocks Keith Olbermann’s visceral attack of Massachusetts Senator-elect and Republican extraordinaire Scott Brown. While the right would have you believe this is a shredding, a destroying, or a smack down by Jon Stewart, it is anything but. We’ve seen him tear into someone and it’s not pretty. This is The Daily Show’s way of telling the popular liberal host of Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC to tone down the hyperbolic rhetoric a bit and return to his roots, firm no holds bar journalism in the tradition of the great Edward R. Morrow that we all found so refreshing yet lacking during the dismal years of the Bush administration.
