Jon Stewart, being serious

Jon Stewart on Bill Moyers Journal. Jon Stewart talked about coverage of the Virginia Tech killings:

I was following the internet headlines all day and there was this enormous amount of space and coverage devoted to Virginia Tech, as there should have been, and I happened to catch a headline lower down which was: 200 people killed in four bomb attacks in Iraq. I think my focus on what was happening here versus this peripheral vision, this thing that caught my eye, and I felt guilty for not having the empathy for their suffering on a daily basis that I feel that I should.

(quote from the last 1/8th or so of the clip, which is longish.)
