Jon Stewart leaves The Daily Show

[El Kabong]

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.

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.

, 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, .

I agree. With that being said; ever listen to Dennis Miller's brand of political comedy? If so, what did'ya think of it?

[Spicoli]

Comedians with opinions...we're doomed . 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 like him because he doesn't hide behind "oh I'm just a comedian" he's embraced just the political and although I don't always agree I respect that he's up to taking heat for his views

When did he pretend to be a journalist?

When did he pretend to be a journalist?

Any time he felt that he could bully someone he's interviewing. Any pushback, ANY pushback at all..."Oh hey, I'm a comedian, here's a joke"



Ayaan Hirsi Ali hammered the shit out of the faux journalist

[Beanflicker]

He bought a farm in NJ to give a home to rescued animals, he's a good dude!

Doesn't mean his politics are good

[Beanflicker]

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

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.

Jon Stewart was a hitman for liberals

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.

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

For some, the satiric ‘Colbert Report’ is a trusted source of political news | Pew Research Center

How News Outlet Consumption Differs Over the Political Spectrum | Pew Research Center's Journalism Project

...."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
