Jon Stewart having fun mocking the Press Poodles is nothing new - and also something that never gets old.
But what really comes to mind is the Clauswitz bit - paraphrased for my purposes: A good plan for your news show can survive anything except contact with actual events.
But the suits are in charge now, so "actual events" - aka: Reality, aka: The-Fucking-Truth - none of that matters if it's in conflict with The Plan.
Management made enormous commitments and invested at great expense to come up with The Plan, and Management is never wrong. We must stick to The Plan - The Plan is everything because fuck you, we'll drop you like a bad habit, that's why.
Of course, Stewart says it a lot better.
