Crawl: FBI WARNS SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN SOMEWHERE SOMETIME. Steve Carell: And on the other hand, we musn’t cause undue alarm. Steve Carell: On the one hand, we must alert the country to the latest events. Crawl: MAJORITY LEADER DASCHLE RECEIVES LETTER CONTAINING ANTHRAX. Steve? Steve Carell: Jon, this is in many ways an unprecedented situation for us. With more we turn to Steve Carell in the Daily Show news center. “Jon Stewart: The media, of course, must walk a fine line covering this story.

“Bullshit is everywhere.” (.) Then there’s the more pernicious bullshit… It comes in three flavors: Making bad things sound good… “Patriot Act.” Because “Are You Scared Enough to Let Me Look at All Your Phone Records Act” doesn’t sell… Number two: hiding bad things under mountains of bullshit.
