On the second video, Catholic, Pacifist, Anarcho-Capitalist, Austrian Economist with a Ph.D. in Economics from NYU, and all around Cool Dude Bob Murphy writes, in a post titled, "The Mosque Controversy: I Am in Awe of Jon Stewart,"
Wow, look at what Jon Stewart and his writers did with this piece. Besides blowing up Fox News (and oh man the first clip is embarrassing), he actually admits his own participation in political tribalism in the past.

Oh this is rich. The
Oh this is rich. The demagoguery of Glenn Beck knows no bounds.
Jon Stewart admits he was
Jon Stewart admits he was wrong, years after the fact and after any damage was done, because it is rhetorically convenient to do so. This earns respect?
Meanwhile, Beck excoriated
Meanwhile, Beck excoriated hourly on MSNBC for supposed insensitivity for having his rally at the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of MLK's speech. Stewart of course know this but doesn't likewise defend Beck.
Not that I would defend Beck's reasoning on the Mosque, the clip is perfectly fair in that respect. Some days he can't think his way out of a paper bag. But perfectly congruent current fallacies are of no interest to Stewart.

Yeah, he's saying Stewart
Yeah, he's saying Stewart gets respect for changing his mind when facts change. It's silly because not even Stewart claims any facts changed.
Stewart recognized he was
Stewart recognized he was wrong in the past. That self-observation is itself a fact, though maybe not an empirical fact measurable by outsiders without direct access to Stewart's internal mental states.
Now I need to go re-read Dennett on Consciousness, dammit.
That's tortured: Stewart gets
That's tortured: Stewart gets credit for changing his mind because the facts changed. What facts changed? The fact that he changed his mind.
Full marks.
Yeah, it was a stretch. My
Yeah, it was a stretch. My excuse: I was just trying to use one of my favorite Keynes quotes in conversation.
