Crossfire Hacks Attack Stewart





I was taping CNN's Crossfire, hoping it was a repeat of Friday's show with Jon Stewart, when I saw the tail end of a new episode where James Carville and Robert Novak read viewer mail reacting to Stewart's Friday appearance. It seems as though they couldn't find an American viewer who disagreed with Stewart, as the naysayer was Canadian. The other viewer was from Texas and applauded the show for allowing Stewart's viewpoint to be heard.



Carville repeatedly claimed that Jon Stewart attacked Ted Koppel on his Crossfire appearance, but I don't recall him doing this. [UPDATE: I think this is what he was referring to, though it's fairly benign. Here it is.] Carville, defending his livelihood, also claimed that he is "kinda proud of being a hack," while Novak repeatedly denounced Jon Stewart as "uninformed and unfunny." Can you feel the warmth?
