Again, Jon Stewart NAILED the media, this time CNN, on their non-coverage and specifically their non-questions getting non-answers during the debate.

He showed the "Twitter board" that had three really good questions submitted by ordinary people that were completely ignored.

If you think Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" only picks on Republicans, you're dead wrong. I think he has a special place in his heart for skewering the media. I would guess that he got more emotional about it when it was discovered that people were turning to HIS *satirical* show to get news that they couldn't get from CNN/MSNBC/Fox, etc. (The most notable case lately being his raising the issue about the health benefits bill for 9/11 first responders - noting that no network covered it AT ALL except for 30 seconds ONCE on MSNBC - and yet *AL JAZEERA* devoted a 20-minute, rather sympathetic, segment to it!)
