Critical Thinking

Maddow, Stewart, and the writing/ creating crew of their television programs are critical thinkers because of their active role in dealing with the media. They take on a reflective nature, carefully examining each point of interest regarding any particular political debate or social clashing point. As they are part of the media, they add that reflectivity and recursive thought process to the public opinion forum. They takes the information and develops a response in the appropriately matching manner. When a congressman uses some funny wordplay and an excessive amount of hypothetical situations in order to talk about an illicit activity without admitting to participating in such activity, comedian pundits like Steward embellish their own stories and sketches with hyperbole and a gratuitous amount of "finger quotes".
