Phil Bronstein, the former San Francisco Chronicle editor who was attacked by a Komodo dragon while married to Sharon Stone, agrees with us: Jon Stewart coud use some new material. Says Phil: 'In a breakfast at the University of Denver, he's predictable. Yes, predictable! Right down to "the t-shirt, khaki pants and a healthy stubble" the Washington Post saw fit to note he was wearing. [...] What else did he say: Network newscasts are "obsolete." Cable TV news is a circus and Fox News is not "fair and balanced." Oh, and some journalists get too cozy with their subjects. [...] He also complains bitterly that Karl Rove is a TV analyst on cable but thinks James Carville is OK because he's not "passed off as a sage." Wait. Jon sees cable news as a circus but thinks only certain people can get away with wearing the red nose and big, floppy shoes?'
