Jon Stewart on Crossfire, highlights

[manwithouthat44]

"like shows that are called..... crossfire.... or hardball....... or.... Im gonna kick your ass e__e " xD LOLOLOL

[misterbarbister]

So true Stewart

[Rosesumner]

Wooohooo!!! This was brilliant. Go Stewart! It is a sad day when a comedian can relied on for truth and integrity, but he does so well.

Jon Stewart isn't the disease. He's only the symptom. The problem is that tens of millions of Americans (mostly young) watch his show to get their news because they haven't learned to follow hard hitting political discourse. When everything is a joke, nothing is scary. Jon Stewart may wish he was only a comedian, but he must know he's a pied piper for the left.

[RememberSoCal]

@major600 well, im a young american and although hes not my only soure of news, i could see why many dont tak the time to watch anything else. the fact that the daily show is funny, making it easier to watch. i just cant watch the news (left and right) without seeing a bias lean or getting a massive headache.

What was so bad about crossfire? It was a bit before my time, and I'm Canadian, so I never had a chance to see it.

[thomasimon]

@LBP15 Well, Stewarts main point to dislike the show was that it made a mockery of politics, because they didn't ask serious questions to political figures, instead talking about trivial bullshit, and he thought that saying that Crossfire was a debate show was like saying that "saying pro wrestling is a show about athletic competition"

[RememberSoCal]

@LBP15 i havent seen much of it either but from what i can tell it is the quenticential (sp) bullshit demonspawn of american political media. Its supposed to be 'political' but is really just idiots barking back and forth at each other, making idiots of themselves and anyone on the show. they lack honesty and get too hyped up on the entertainment value of it rather than honest reporting

[Balin93]

Stewart was 100% correct, and Crossfire was off the air in a matter of days or weeks after this.

[Sorgybaby]

its funny because now stewart still has a show and these guys don't

[xtrmsprts]

If this weren't Crossfire but Firing Line, we'd see how well this new jesery jude would do. It's one thing using cheap comedy to attack two serious guys inept at dealing with satirical rebukes, quite another to take on William F. Buckley, Jr. Bill would have baked stewart in an oven and fed him to Nancy Reagan's poodle. Infact what these hosts should have done was sock stewart in his goddamn face and let him stay plastered before beth israel paid for his surgery.

@xtrmsprts Someone's mad that CNN got viewership.

Umadbro?

Thought so.

[suedi52]

It must be comforting to know you have a small audience of admirers to listen to your far out views, Stewart. I wonder if the FBI is keeping tabs on you. No - your just a self-absorbed elitist snob.

[spatlik]

@suedi52 Rofl, guys like this make me smile.

[TheNoobinatorftw]

@suedi52 Not even correct. Go look at his ratings.

[greatbroad]

Yeah, but Tucker Carlson was emcee at the Rally for the Republic. Wrap your mind around that one. He went from this, to Ron Paul. I used to dislike Tucker, but I'm changing my mind about him.

[MrBitchesnHose]

@greatbroad

tucker is still an idiot, even if by some miracle he likes ron paul

[greatbroad]

@MrBitchesnHose

What a strange year it has been, MrBitchesnHose! What do you think about Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty (which I am a member) morphing into tea party led by neo-con Sara Palin??? OMG!

[MrBitchesnHose]

@greatbroad

so long as he actually does what he says hes gonna do, hes this systems last chance at revival, dont even get me started on palin :(

[greatbroad]

@MrBitchesnHose

Well, I go crazy if I don't "act out" my apoplectic rage, once in a while. So, what I was planning on doing is ordering one of those "corporate" US Flags and maybe hang it upside-down on my flagpole. It's why I keep making these damn political videos.
