"Jon Stewart Is Just a Comedian; Don't Listen to Him..."

"Just because someone who mocks authority says something doesn't make it so," Zucker said, describing the comedian's comments as "completely out of line."
The reason Stewart was mocking authority was because your dumb-ass business network didn't challenge authority. In fact, it became the mouthpiece of the very institution you claim to be "observing."
In fact, instead of schmoozing with the likes of CNBC and Fox Business News, Wall Street would be better off creating their own network (they haven't done that yet, right?). Than at least no one can dispute who they're rooting for. And we also won't get another round of "It Ain't My Fault: Rich People Edition."
I think we all can learn something from this ordeal; I know I have:
  1. Zucker doesn't know the difference between, "This is all your fault!" and "Because of the role you play, your actions/inactions make you complicit;" and
  2. This response is just one more example that our "news" is not meant to inform us as much as entertain us.

Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
