Coke and Pepsi discussing beverage supremacy... brilliant! and so devastatingly true.

[Grizabeebles]

3:46 - Six years later he got on stage at the national mall and did just that for real.

[Lucia121]

thank you so much for posting this interview!!!!!

[fasterspider]

Save John Stewart, he's our most important jew.

[matenizer]

@fasterspider how about most important human... Jews have as many chromosomes as non jews.

[killwhitey88d]

watch manufacturing consent here on youtube. What jon stewart is talking about is explained in detail and the reasons for why media is the way it is

[prettythings89]

'Mein comfortable shoes.' I think. I love him.

[Isanion]

"those who seek power are the least suitable to wield it"

Jon Stewart is living proof that this goes the other way as well.

[kebengel]

Oh right so he's advocating the press being biased, not unbiased. Idiot.

[aclose78]

You're an idiot. He's advocating for the press to ask questions and not just sit back and take their bullshit at face value. To actually check what they say, do some actual journalism.

[aclose78]

I think Clyaton, and correct me if I'm wrong, is saying that Jon is pointing out something that pisses him off, not that Jon making this point pisses him off.

[Ectharias]

The interviewer was an idiot, but Stewart is the man.

[vatolojoe]

i'm pencilling his name in for 2008

The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are the best sources of news on American television. Better than CNN... beter than Fox... beter than MSNBC. News parody shows, while hilarious, are also the also sources of authentic, unbiased news coverage. The only way to cover current affairs objectively is to look at it with a humorous slant.

"The only way to cover current affairs objectively is to look at it with a humorous slant."

And for those who have things like souls and feelings and are generally actual humans, it's just about the only way to cover current affairs without wanting to kill yourself or someone else.

[daniellexxE]

Scary that the most accurate way to get information is to watch comedy shows, isn't it? Not that I'm complaining.

[Clyaton]

It's still biased.. But I agree, it's far better than any of the news stations. Stewart makes low shots at McCain (does this to democrats sometimes too) sometimes that are irrelevent, not important, but is often funny (which IS the point of the show) Making fun of how he walks or talks type of stuff. These shows are genius and there is a lot to be learned hypocrisy wise in politics from their satire.

[Sandinistapunk]

Jon Stewart says he is an entertainer. It is biased, and they leave out big parts of stories to make the jokes better. The jokes come first. Not content.

[Vehement00]

That is partially true, but the ability for the audience to retain details of news information lies in how receptive they are, and comedy is one of the ways to do it.  When ppl find stuff entertaining, they will actually remember what the joke is about and lead them to research and expand their understanding of the joke's topic. Research=education. I do laugh at Jon Stewart's jokes, but when there's a topic that peaks my curiousity, I don't just laugh, I study up on why the irony is so funny.

[burnabyjer]

Right, he's not the media, he's a comedian. He's asking people in the media to be more responsible about their reporting. He can be as biased as he wants, he just supposed to make you laugh.

[TheTriptamineDream]

@stewartcolbert11 They are the best helpers of interpreting the news media's reports. If people get their political information solely from TDD/TCR, that is a major problem.

THANK YOU for posting this! :)

I love Jon Stewart!

[thelastmasterchief]

This man is a true Patriot. no1 who watches these things can disagree. Jon makes us think unlike the fucking news.

[LargeSoda]

Wonderful upload. Thanks for putting it up.

[NikeMcFlys2015]

He would make a better president then bushy wushy

[LiveAndLoveLife]

I wish Jon was our president.

"Lowering the discourse with tenacity."

[Theonlyk9man]

"think of jokes, quickly" fucking right, holy cow, he has the fastest comebacks ever, and he makes little side comments that make me think he must have all sorts of jokes and thoughts flowing through his head at all times, amazing guy

[domingodon]

just imagine American media without people like Jon.. it would be an even bigger disaster..

[ThatPeskySaurus]

Jon Stewart has a very real and friendly vibe that is disarming. His show is great too.

[PonyExpressNYC]

No, Jon - your interviews are good too. Although inconsistent at times, they can be outstanding. Look for the interviews with Bill Bennett, Chris Matthews, John McCain, the Crossfire thing, etc - he isn't out to slam people like them for the sake to slam them; he's asking genuine questions that are not disrespectful, but still work at getting to the root of his intellectual disagreement with the other guy.

[mattisp]

WOO HOO -- GO SU!

[CodenameLegacy]

Was this really shown on C-Span uncensored?

[QuelDr0ma]

yeah

This is why CSPAN is the best network we have. to hell with Fox, CNN, NBC,ABC, CBS

[Theonlyk9man]

AMEN!

[fedeman2]

"my therapist said i should 'play the dictator'" i cracked up!

[rmendoza13]

Second that, hahahahaha.

Although it would be funny, I doubt it would ever happen.

[fedeman2]

i seriously believe jon stewart should be the moderator for next years debates.

[zakkdbd]

COLBERT 2008

[fedeman2]

what's the deal with that? i see it everywhere i'm starting to believe it might be true!

[halberkstresser]

nice
