/ 29 January 2011

Once again I turn to a late night comedian to help dissect the rhetorical flourishes that pass for news these days:

Jon Stewart is dissecting the ways in which Fox News persistently uses language stating people "are Nazis" or that's "like the Nazis." Well, a coalition of Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist and even a few Orthodox rabbis has now asked Fox News to stop at least Glenn Beck from doing so. My hunch is that the DailyShow clip will be more effective in the long run, but I wonder where the Christian leaders are? We should be asking for the same thing!
