Jon Stewart was a hitman for liberals
They used to beat the 'living Shit' out him in the neighborhood of Lawrenceville, New Jersey.Quote:

Anyone want to guess his nickname back then.
So anybody asking politically related questions of a guest on their show is a journalist? That would have been news to Johnny Carson, Dick Cavett and so on.Quote:

You're aware the Daily Show has described itself as a fake news programme since before Stewart was even running it, right? John Stewart has for years described himself as the most trusted name in fake news?
Show me a transcript of a quote where he claims to be a journalist.

Jon Stewart says "fake news" but and I'm sorry to have to correct you Kirkland as I know you have such a delicate constitution about being corrected but millennials get their news from these "fake news" shows

...."fake" to Stewart, but "real" to the millennials hence my issues with The Daily Show and Jon Stewart.
But dear heart I sure hope you don't get too upset by my correcting you
You're not correcting me. People getting their news from comedy shows doesn't mean that the comedians doing the shows are journalists, it's more a commentary on the terrible job actual news programmes do.Quote:

plus
Jon Stewart's Daily Show being considered a "good source" of news by millennials
equals
Jon Stewart ....journalist.
But what do you want to call him? Is he JUST a comedian? Is he a "humorist"? A "social commentator"? A "political pundit"?
I don't think he's JUST a comedian, but whatever I'm sure you'll think you're right whatever you decide

Since when do 'millennials' dictate what constitutes ANYTHING in this country? Is the most successful drug dealing kingpin of oxycontin on college campuses also a pharmacist? Christ Almighty you're an idiot :p
To know the environment and tendencies of a talk show host they are walking into. Stewart, or any other host, has no obligation to shut down what has taken them to the top when an author comes on to hawk a book. I don't see how some grizzled hard nose from Washington has anything to fear from Stewart. The age of 'hard hitting' journalism is not what it was as nearly every joe blow with an I phone is now the go to for first hand accounts and footage.Quote:

If you don't understand that Millennials and their disposable income can drive a market then you're the idiot. I'm just saying these kids, "Millennials" grew up with CNN, they grew up with the internet, they grew up in an era where the lines between opinion and fact are skewed, and in this day and age YES Jon Stewart is considered host of a "news" show, however heavy on the finger quotes you want to go....pollsters have asked, Millennials have answered, and the answer is although Millennials get news from various sources Jon Stewart's The Daily Show IS one of those sources and that is undeniable.

I Really Like Jon Stewart, but Here's What Bothers me About him
best bit from the last link: "But it worries me that young people in particular (the show's audience skews fairly young) will use "The Daily Show" as a substitute for real news. That would be a tragedy, because it's been my experience that most young people are woefully ignorant of current events (various polls have confirmed this.) One example: I recently asked a class of about 15 students why the U.S. invaded Afghanistan. No one knew."
