Is Jon Stewart Responsible For Distrust Of The Media, And Politics?

That's what this article seems to be claiming.



To me, in recent weeks especially, it seems obvious that what's leading kids to distrust the media is that they lie like a rug.



They distrust politicians because the pols on both sides of the aisle are manifestly out to screw us all, and get us chivvied into either a fascist police state (conservatives) or communist "people's republic" (liberals,) as though either of those goals had worked out well in the past.



As far as the downfall of Western Civilization? I think the politicoes and the media are handling that just fine so far, thanks. The kids are getting skeptical because THEY SHOULD. You're not being paranoid if someone really is out to get you.
