He's wrong, because he won't accept--or admit to--the reality of media in our time: The Big Media bear us no responsibility. "Let the Buyer beware." (Caveat emptor...it's an old scam)...</span><br />

It is somewhat ironic that the "Press" always bragged that it was the "only business with Constitutional Protections; a fact which we now see as being a distinctly double-edged blade.</span><br />

To forestall such mischief was why they bought the "press," in the first place...</span><br />

The source of Stewart's not-well veiled antagonism toward Ravitch and her message is almost revealed at the end of the segment below, when Steward defends his 'friends' in the Charter Industry...and they're "really good people." <br />

<b>Hey! Listen UP@!</b><br />If any o'y'all are planning to visit our fair, but parched, state, please bring your own water. We don't really have enough for just us. So bring along a couple of cases.
And pee before you leave, please.

Pretty
wild, right? It's a map of Pangea — a supercontinent that formed
roughly 300 million years ago — mapped with contemporary geopolitical
borders.</div>
<div data-textannotation-id="d5d32d517480f5dea8c86aa5ae4ed4c3">
What you
see here is an anachronistic mashup — a modern map, complete with
geological features that did not exist 300-million years ago, with its
various parts relocated to the general position they would have occupied
before Pangea began rifting apart some 200-million years ago. It's a
view of the supercontinent not often seen, and a mind-bending way of
relating to the world on a geological time scale. [<a href="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18pefyttaq6i1jpg/original.jpg" target="_blank">Hi-res</a>]</div>

Unfortunately, the source link is dead, so neither of us was able to find the map's true provenance. At the bottom corner of the image however, is a name – Massimo Pietrobon – and an email address; so, for the time being, we're going to assume he's the creator. We've reached out to Pietrobon, but have yet to receive a response. We'll let you know if and when we do.
Edit: As ukuleledan points out in the comments, Pietrobon does, in fact, appear to be the map's creator. Woody (Tokin Librul/Rogue Scholar/ Helluvafella!)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09205896988142798901noreply@blogger.com0
