      Can't upvote this enough! I have been saying the same thing in many comment sections over the last few years after Tucker openly admitted he made mistakes reporting on the Iraq war. I have gained a lot of respect for Tucker Carlson after he turned that leaf and his push for the truth, and will continue to support anyone that is objectively looking to report the news. Tucker & John's personal growth over the last 2 decades make revisiting an interview with John Stewart a valuable discussion that the world would benefit from hearing. Two sides having an honest discussion in person for everyone to see, even if they do not see eye to eye on everything, is the appropriate way to have a healthy dialog in a civilized society. I really hope to see them do a follow up interview together to discuss the current events.

      I always bring that up when Tucker fanboys praise him for his journalism. They usually don't get the reference so I gotta show them.
      I like to imagine that after this show happened Tucker stormed off to his dressing room, stomping his feet and shouting at anyone he crossed paths with, probably flipped some tables, slammed his door, started drinking hard liquor, trashing the room, then glanced at his pristine collection of bowties and decided to stuff all his bowties into the paper shredder.
      After watching this clip I am surprised anybody values his opinion.

      I used Topaz Labs Video AI for the upscale and cleaned up the audio in Pro Tools. I then took it into Premiere Pro, added the side blur and replaced the news crawl ticker at the bottom with a more pleasing subtle glow crawl.

    It does show how things have changed, and perhaps not for the better. The bombast and incessant noise of these TV channels may have dissipated a little, but the wrong lesson was learned. It seems CNN (and other networks) decided that a debate format was “bad”, when in fact the real lesson was missed, i.e. bad debate is bad, and we miss good debate. In the end, Jon Stewart was crucial to Crossfire’s cancellation, but real, honest debate also disappeared, replaced by a sanitised, non-confrontational and extremely silo heavy approach. The (two) sides of American politics hardly ever talk to each other. This media situation may even have contributed to partisan nature of politics, where Democrats and Republicans speak different languages and live in diametrically opposed realities. Crossfire was bad, but it was one of the only debate shows going.

    The fact that the show was broadcast in full adds a lot of context, and frankly, I completely agree with Jon. The show could have really brought something to public opinion, but in the end, it just ended up being reactionary debate.

    Thanks for the awesome quality of this upload. Even before Stewart’s segment, it’s easy to see why this show was cancelled; it’s an absolutely awful format, frenetic, shrill, and completely unconvincing.
    Debates are already more about performance than truth; this trading of blows can’t even live up to the former.

      I wanted to post this way back in 2004. Unfortunately, all I had was a 320 * 240 low-quality video capture. Practically unwatchable on current displays. However, with recent advancements in hardware and software it became possible to upscale it to a decent quality.
      I used Topaz Labs Video AI for the upscale and Avid Pro Tools to clean up the audio. I edited it in Premiere Pro, applied color correction, added the side blur, and replaced the news crawl ticker at the bottom with a more pleasing subtle glow crawl. The export was finalized in Media Encoder. All processing was done on a M1 Mac Studio Ultra.
