1. "Versus"  4X
2.  "crossfire" 3X- name of show implies arguing and combat and violence
3. "partisan hackery" 2X
4. Thread- versus, unique perspectives, fight, hate, attack, confronting- all these imply negative and uncivilized discourse that is only about theatre to get viewers. The show does not want to actually display opposing viewpoints equally, rather it wants to play aggressive people off each other for show.
5. politicians&corporations (evil, only want money/attention) Vs. people&America (good, needs honest news)
6. "stop hurting America"- America needs good news reporting and actually debate shows to stay informed. Instead shows like crossfire mislead americans into thinking that they are getting good information when actually they are just receiving false partisan theatre designed to get ratings and cause controversy, which doesnt really help America at all.
7. Two views of the 2 shows and 2 different types of media begin to appear. CNN and crossfire and fake, uncivilized, violent, theatre pieces, while Jon stewart show is real, and has civilized discourse and doesnt ask pointed questions to start arguments, rather it asks questions to get the person who is being interviewed opinion.
8. So What?- America needs more honest fair civilized shows like Jon Stewart's show, and no shows like crossfire anymore. So What? America would be a better place without those false shows.
