Jon Stewart rips media's false sense of urgency

Case in point: the recent sniping between the presidential campaigns after presumptive GOP nominee Sen. John McCain couldn't remember how many houses he owned. As Stewart watched the campaigns trade attack ads over the comment, he said he thought of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a patrician New Yorker who led the nation through the Great Depression and is considered one of its greatest presidents.

"That guy's not a regular American," Stewart said. "Nobody wanted to have a beer with him. He would have been a terrible president. He's an elitist. Can he bowl? Somebody could have bowled him. I just find it stunning as to where this election is going to be decided. Or where we allow it to be decided."
