This is what Jon Stewart, host of the Jon Stewart Show on Comedy Central, said in a recently: “I have one source for news that I turn to more than any other: Twitter.”
I agree with Stewart on that point. Twitter and other social media networks have revolutionized how news and other information is distributed. But Stewart said something else I have to disagree with. “Cos I likes my news like I likes my ladies,” he said, “short and punchy and delivered second-hand by anonymous sociopaths.”
We’re not all sociopaths.
But my disagreement with Stewart was short-lived. Especially when he made the point to congratulate “old white men” in the Republican party for their role in ending racism. Stewart of course, was basing his remarks on a tweet made by the Republican National Committee earlier this week, in which they came to the conclusion that racism in America, was over.
“It’s OVER!” Stewart exclaimed, “It’s official! Stick a fork in racism, it’s done!”
But Stewart’s excitement was also short-lived. Moments after the Republicans declared that racism was over, they issued another tweet stating that their proclamation was in fact, incorrect. Stewart took note of that too.
“You declare an end to racism and then three hours later, you start it again?” Stewart then equate the GOP’s back and forth on whether or not racism had ended to being “an Indian giver.”
