Jon Stewart leaves The Daily Show
Re: Jon Stewart leaves The Daily Show
Never really watched his show.

Re: Jon Stewart leaves The Daily Show
Jon Stewart played this little game where he'd pretend to be a real journalist until confronted about it/called out on a lie and then he'd be all "Oh I'm just a comedian"....you can't have it both ways but the liberals love him so he was able to do it.
I ABHOR Jon Stewart, I hope he tries to be more political in the future and I hope he gets his ass handed to him because he's certainly not as smart as he believes himself to be.
Re: Jon Stewart leaves The Daily Show
Good, I don't like him either. I don't even care how much of a journo he considered himself or how he used that, to me politics and comedy don't mix the way he tried to make them in any case. Nobody is very funny being completely partisan, if you want that kind of bullshit just listen to the politicians themselves. He wasn't as bad as this John Oliver cunt who is on now though, I hope he isn't the replacement.

Neither did I. Question: Wasn't he on the comedy channel? Then why would any of us take the time to question his political views- if he's on the (joke) channel...

I agree. With that being said; ever listen to Dennis Miller's brand of political comedy? If so, what did'ya think of it?
Re: Jon Stewart leaves The Daily Show
Comedians with opinions...we're doomed ;D. I mean really a fact check on piece about autism? Tonight a billionaire turned bad wrester promo tv diva with zero political experience is being considered viable as President. Stewart is a squirrely shat but knows his role with sharp satire. Loved him in Half Baked btw.

I'm sure he's been right and wrong on issues just like anyone else.

;D Is that what you took from that. Looks to be edited midway, possibly for commercial, but just a decent and jagged discussion. Its on his guest to know what they are walking into.

The Reason.com video showed his double standards a lot better.
His guests were to expect what? A comedian asking questions or a journalist digging deep for information? With Obama he's a comedian, with a Republican he's a journalist, with RFK Jr. he's being serious and taking everything said as fact...if RFK Jr was a Republican/Conservative/Libertarian Stewart would have lampooned him and that is a FACT.

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.
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.

Johnny Carson never tipped his hand, he'd make fun of anyone and everyone, but he never put his personal politics out there and lead with that.
Dick Cavett is an unabashed lefty, I don't mind the guy but he wasn't NEWS.
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.

Journalist - a person who writes for newspapers or magazines or prepares news to be broadcast on radio or television.
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

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.

While "the most successful drug dealing kingpin of oxycontin on college campuses" doesn't HAVE to be a pharmacist, it doesn't mean that it COULDN'T be a pharmacist.
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."
