Its not their fault. But they can't determine what the creation is once its out there.

I think they were probably idiots prior to Jon Stewart taking over. I'm suggesting this ushered in a new era of response that lacked any real thought and also (and this is what i think the show really did) made "clever" responses more appropriate.

I think pre-DS people just wouldn't have cared enough, or had known enough to respond. Now because their marketed to with juxtaposing news clips in little film vignette that these people feel not only that they can say something, but that their response either means something or their going to change peoples opinions.
