re Jon Stewart

[Tim Shorrock]

One of my greatest shocks on TV came a few years ago when I saw Bill Cosby
interviewed by, I think, Larry King. Cosby was asked what American writer or
political figure he admired most. King probably expected him to say Martin
Luther King or something. Instead, Cosby thought a minute and replied --
Herb Aptheker, calling him one of the greatest historians of the African
American experience. King just went "hmmm" and went on to other things. That
raised my approval rating for Bill Cosby about a hundred points.

politics are and he claims to be a "Democratic Socialist"
