Another Atta Boy, Jon Stewart

Chalk up another round of kudos for Jon Stewart. In an online poll conducted by the "I Want Media" Web site, the authentic comedian/fake anchor of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" was named 2004's Media Person of the Year.

According to "I Want Media," the comments from Stewart acolytes generally followed along the lines of that posed by The Nation media columnist Eric Alterman. "Literally no one upheld the honor better of what remains of the media than did this 'fake news' comedian," Alterman writes. "He is our leader. How pathetic is that?"

Pathetic, yes, but not so pathetic. Cutting to the Chase hereby nominates Jon Stewart for Media Person of the Decade.
