Daily Show: Cable news created ‘festival of Wrights’
Senator Obama’s former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is “dominating cable news coverage like a missing white girl,” quips Jon Stewart.
The media has elected to binge, akin to Stewart’s on-camera ice cream indulgence, on remarks, jokes and sermons by the Reverend, in a veritable “Festival of Wrights.” Not even a stern, on-camera repudiation from the Senator himself can stop the spin machine.
