Personally, I don't think Stewart qualifies as news at all. Covering her is incestuous and a gross waste of valuable time and newsprint that should be going to examine 1) the various crooked things this administration keeps trying to foist on the public, 2) important scientific and ecological issues that are currently only debated by soundbite, and 3) corporate malfeasance that's strangling democracy and abusing both Earth and people.
