Fair Game

More rhetorical analysis from The Daily Show: Last night, Stewart summed up the (primarly Fox News) fervor over what's "fair game" to discuss, call into question, or criticize in a presidential election campaign. In addition to indecorously suggesting that news outlets spend their time determining the objective veracity of claims rather than pointlessly discussing a subjective determination of whether said claims are "fair game," Stewart points out that "referring to someone's prior business experience during a job interview" is actually EXACTLY how hiring decisions are made. He went on to compare Fox's non-value-added preoccupation with "fair game" to a "circle jerk." (...but then clarified that this would be a discredit to circle jerks since they at least have an actual, observable outcome.) Been pretty busy lately... it's good to be back. Luth Out
