Jon Stewart Rally Gets NYT Shout-Out, Via Crossword

The Rally to Restore Sanity can count among its supporters Oprah Winfrey, Larry King, and now Will Shortz. The New York Times crossword editor threw in eight clues relating to Jon Stewart (an avid crossword fan), Stephen Colbert, and their joint rally in yesterday’s puzzle, Reuters reports. Just another sign that the Times is a “bastion of liberal propaganda,” jokes Jon Bershad on Mediaite, adding that if Shortz really wanted to bring attention to the rally, “he would have hidden the clues in the Monday puzzle.” Mediaite has a photo of the completed puzzle.
