Jon Stewart has some fun with the CNN and a little with Fox over there hesitation to define the conflict between Israel and Lebanon as a war. They spent most of Thursday of last week making heavy use of the word "War?", to avoid coverage fatigue. You want to word, but why commit to anything if can save it for the next day right?
Jon Stewart: Welcome back to the program! Returning to the Middle East because, if we don't, really who will? The crisis began Thursday morning. I learned about it from the TV. As the bombs began to rain on Israel and Lebanon, at 4PM Thursday CNN asked the question, "Brink of war?" Huh? CNN's not sure. Is it war? The brink of war? The brink of brink of war? A precipice leading to a slope ending on a brink with war?
