Post-Sanity Rally Media Musings
Keith Olbermann suspends “Worst Person” feature in wake of Jon Stewart’s call for a more civil debate on cable TV. (Baby steps.)
David Carr feels Stewart let Congress off the hook by implying that the media is mostly responsible for political polarization. (Agreed.)
Raw Story reviews crowd estimates and Metro sets a record for Saturday ridership. (I attended Restore Honor, One Nation, and Sanity rallies, and Stewart’s felt, by far, the biggest. None of these events, however, came even remotely close the number of people who attended Barack Obama’s inauguration, which I also attended.)
The Post has more on the topic of rally crowd estimates and a picture gallery.
