Shh. Follow me to the depths, through the secret tunnels under the Mighty Corrente Building, where after a long and torturous journey you will either reach Underground Froomkin or, possibly, suffer devourage. Here's where St. Froom' tells you what he really thinks, before it gets watered down for the delicate ears of Post readers:
What is it about Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert that makes them so refreshing and attractive to a wide variety of viewers (including those so-important younger ones)? I would argue that, more than anything else, it is that they enthusiastically call bullshit.
Calling bullshit, of course, used to be central to journalism as well as to comedy. And we happen to be in a period in our history in which the substance in question is running particularly deep. The relentless spinning is enough to make anyone dizzy, and some of our most important political battles are about competing views of reality more than they are about policy choices. Calling bullshit has never been more vital to our democracy.
Tears of joy run down my withered face to read such words by a Professional Journalist. If this caught on, us bloggers would have to scrape by on our writing skills, physical beauty and scintillating personalities alone, and boy would we (well, except for ChiDy, who actually has all those things) be fucked.
