It's a bit rich for Jon Stewart to speak out against the rancous division of "red" and "blue", when he's done so much to exploit that division and cheerlead for the Left to promote his career.
It's a Leftist hack criticizing a Leftist hack for being a Leftist hack. I don't buy it.
@chronDiggity And FOX News is actually fair and balanced. It's just that there's so much more wrong with the Democrats and Leftists.
And so on. And so forth.
Like I said. It's a bit rich for Jon Stewart, of all people, to be decrying partisanship. He's the biggest Left-wing celebrity brown noser since Jane Fonda. In a world with Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon, that's saying a lot.
@chronDiggity No, you can only falsely assert it, because your claim isn't true.
Charles Rangel's tax cheating? Weinergate? Barney Frank's ties to Fanny Mae/Freddie Mac and the gay bordello at his house? Barack Obama and Solyndra? David Wu in his tiger suit? Nancy Pelosi's numerous scandals? Kennedy family scandals and nepotism?
If you only watch Jon Stewart, I can see why you'd be ignorant of all of these. Think I'll watch FOX News too, thanks. We'll see who is telling the truth.
I feel sorry for what kind of sad embarrassing idiotic joke you are.
Literally everything you listed, Stewart has made fun of in a monumentally HILARIOUS way. Heck, his impersonation of Charlie Rangel is one of his very best.
If you only watch Fox News, and believe that ASSUMING everything you say is true isn't idiotic, I can see why you'd be ignorant... in general... of everything...
No WE won't see who is telling the truth. I ALONE will see that, because you've proven INCAPABLE.
@chronDiggity What bull twaddle. I watched this guy shamelessly suck up to John Kerry. He ALWAYS pushes his Party Line, shamelessly.
Go ahead. Act like an arse while you mock my honest criticism. You're doing a great imitation of Jon Stewart's journalistic style - use sophomoric insults to promote the Left, then pretend you're not doing it and act with outrage and more abuse when you're called on it.
No one with half a brain is buying it, kid. But keep up the act if it makes you feel good.
Yes of course. Despite the fact that Stewart literally mentioned in GREAT DETAIL all the things you claim he didn't, some how it's ME who's promoting partisan bullshit.
Your dismissal comes at great relief. Nothing good comes from conversing with people like you. May God bless you and always remember, what would Jesus do?
@chronDiggity So he expressed in great detail ... what? How he DIDN'T such up to Kerry? How he HASN'T been a consistent advocate for Leftist memes? What?
Before you ask what this new Jesus would do, you should try to make coherent remarks based on evidence in regard your New Annointed Messiah. Until then, expect people like me to laugh at you.
Look I just don't even give a shit any more. You can say whatever you want.
Yes, I don't know about any of the things you listed because Jon Stewart never spoke of them. He only ever attacks republicans, so that's all I know, since Jon Stewart is all I watch.
Fox News doesn't lie, they are fair and balanced, it's right there in the slogan.
you are one million times correct, and I am infinitely inccorect. Jon Stewart is a lefist meme pusher.
@chronDiggity Stewart doesn't always attack Republicans. He also attacks Democrtas that he thinks deviate from the Party Line. He's ideologically minded, and not exclusively loyal to the Democrats.
FOX News is an advocate for what they think are "conservative" issues, but they aren't unusual in having a bias. Most of the other US news outlets, and all the cable news outlets, have pronounced biases - mostly to the Left.
You can leave anytime you like. It's still a free country.
What was the last liberal meme Jon Stewart promoted? Before, you were trying to sound like he never makes fun of the left, now you're basically saying he makes fun of people on the left so long as they are to the right of him...
Would you say Weiner was a far left guy? You think Jon Stewart let him off with a pass? FUCK NO. So what ideology did Weiner deviate from? Not to show peckers on twitter? That's such a leftist meme ROFL
@chronDiggity Limousine liberalism, mixed with dorm rool socialism. I'm not sure Jon Stewart even believes what he says - all I know is that he sticks with what's marketable to college Marxists and runs with it.
What I said is that he makes fun of Democrats if they deviate from Leftist politics. Think of the sort of thing you'd read in the Boston Phoenix, tehn convert that to a comedy news show. Jon Stewart's schtick is similar to Phillipe and Jorge.
@chronDiggity Or I've answered you (such as, reminding you that Stewart tried to underplay Weiner's scandal rather than run with it) and you have nothing rational to respond with. So you're taking your ball and going home.
Fine with me. I did what I could for ya. My conscience is clear.
OMG That shit is HILARIOUS. Dude's just crying because he wasn't invited on the show.
The idea that the proof that Daily Show has a liberal agenda because they didn't invite one of the biggest douche bags on youtube onto their show is quite simply the purest unadulterated mental diarrhea I've seen you spew here.
You have failed demonstrably. I asked for proof Jon Stewart underplayed the Weiner scandal, and you link me to a cry baby conservative. LMFAO!
@chronDiggity The e-mail he got TELLS HIM that the Jon Stewart show isn't interested in conservative pundits. You have your evidence in black and white of Jon Stewart's partisanship - alongside his hypocritical arguments against partisanship.
Want to ignore it? Blow it off? Fair enough. I wouldn't expect more from a Jon Stewart fanatic.
@chronDiggity In regards Weiner, I remember how Jon Stewart was in regards teh story when it first came out. He was the most softball of them all - which, considering his supposed "comedic" theme, is rather odd. If Weiner were a Republican he would have been out of the gate on him from the very beginning. Then, even after Stewart started to cover the story, he tried to put a complimentary spin on it. He criticised the media, and was mostly upset that a Democrat seat was lost to Republicans.
@chronDiggity The problem, from my point of view, is that the market promotes news that is sensationalized and ideologically pure, and doesn't promote fact finding or a depth of reporting. This isn't the fault of the networks, but of the customers - us. Most of us apparently like "entertainment" news over real journalism.
But Jon Stewart exploits that tendency. He's not a legitimate spokesman against the trend, and he's a hypocritical weasel for trying to be - even as he profits from it.
I think conservatives such as yourself get confused because you don't comprehend one simple fact: The Daily Show isn't news. It is satire.
He exploits making news entertaining and funny? That's his job, though. That's why people tune in. Ultimately, if you can't laugh at his jokes, and in turn at yourself sometimes, your problem isn't with him, it's with yourself. I'm an avid Ron Paul supporter, but even I have to laugh at how obsessed and cultist we sound sometimes.
@TheSnoopy1750 A lie by omission is still a lie. When you purposely leave important information out to spin something a certain way it's just as bad. She does it all the time.
@SixXxShooTeR83 .lol big businesses brought you youtube?i suggest you look into the history of that.also apart formt he really far left, no one is arguing agaisnt big businesses.They are are arguing about keeping big businesses in check.there no point in saying anything further ebcause you are a clown who in involved int he poinltess liberal/cinservative debate.In saying that jon stewart is just a entertainer and should be taken with a pinch of salt.
@sirsquiggly actually at the end of the video I heard Jon Stewart say that Fox news in not partisan, of course Fox news is biased, just like MSNBC, and CNN, and make no mistake BBC is biased to my friend, I have seen them twist the truth in an absolutely disgusting way, but hey controversy is a money maker in the media right? I guess what you have to do is choose your bias because we are all biased.
I'm not sidestepping that. What reforms do you think must have bipartisan support? Maybe the tax code could be reformed in a bipartisan way, but that's about it. There are real, legitimate differences of opinion between the parties, and in a system driven by popular election, debate is going to be divisive. No matter where the locus of discussion is, it's going to be adversarial, that's the sign of a good free society.
Wake up, people, Stewart's view of politics is painfully naive. This is what partisans do, they draw lines of division. It might not be pretty, but its politics. If you think they're drawing the wrong lines of division, get involved. The character that the demonization of the political class and partisanship in general has taken on of late is very discouraging. Sure, the discussion could be more civil and we could discuss different issues. But the view that if we only had different politicians
The point is that somehow you have FACTUAL insight on my world view because you read a youtube comment. My point is that you have made generalizations of me but yet you don't want me to make generalizations about a idealogical group. What substance should I put in a youtube comment. Do I need peer reviewed material and quotations? I dont know where you got that 50% of Americans are liberal. Judging from the recent elections, shouldn't you say that the majority of Americans are conservative?
What scares me about liberals is their tendency to skew the argument with their emotions. They want to make it seem that they care more about the poor,minorities and the disenfranchised . This makes it easy for them to call you a racist and use their hate speech when someone disagrees with them. I have never been able to have a conversation with a liberal and them not talk down to me.
@kidrymoe So how does a conservative skew the argument when it comes to topics like American Exceptionalism, or WMD's, or Obama's perceived socialist agenda, or gun laws, or creationism vs evolution? Are their views backed purely by facts and reason?
Fact is kidrymoe you have a narrow view of the world. Ideologues skew their arguments with emotions, and they can be found in spades on both ends of the political spectrum. To paint all 'liberals' with the same broad brush is pure ignorance.
@vikrim1 Thank you for proving my point . You say I have a narrow view of the world because you read a four sentence youtube comment . Now you have the right to say whatever you want about me. Am I not entitled to have a different view because i have different life experiences? If my view is different from yours , then it is narrow and ignorant? Thanks again for proving my point, now go talk down to someone else :)
@kidrymoe Sorry what point did I prove? Are you suggesting that my assessment of your posting was "skewed by emotion"? Are you suggesting that I'm accusing you of hate speech because I tried to "make it seem that I care more about the poor etc"? If you're going to be so sensitive about feeling that people talk down to you don't lay down such a confrontational post. My point is that you generalized 50% of your country without any substance to back it. What type of response did you expect?
@vikrim1 .what you said is equally viable on the right.whether its american nationalsim in unhealthy doses,whether its this complete support of capatalism,esp neolibral policies since reagan, whtout thinking or even lookin at points made byt the other side,etc,etc.You cant just say liberals shout down and accuse you of racism when the right shouts oyu down and accuses you of being unpatriotic or whatever..
Also, the corporate "news" in the US doesn't "buy into it" ('it' being sociopolitical division), but is the very tool that elites rely upon to perpetuate Divide & Rule, and further obfuscate meaning and clarity.
And yes, 9/11 was an inside job (PNAC) "Professionals," however, don't care to wade into those murky waters as they realize social rewards and/or punishments are involved in which views/beliefs one espouses publicly. The US is most indoctrinated, brainwashed country on the planet.
What's particularly frightening about right-wingers in general within the US is how so many of them, meaning, those who espouse and abide right-wing/authoritarian traits and tenets, do not realize that they *are* right-wingers...mainly because for decades the movement has gone under the euphemistic/Orwellian banner "conservative," which of course *sounds better* to those who seek to legislate prejudice, hatred, religious beliefs, and support a Welfare $tate (for the wealthy only) & Police State.
Leftie way of shutting down any debate is the 'ol "racist" debate non-starter. Don't like Obama - racist. Ant-open borders in Arizona - racist. Tea party/pro-smaller government - racist. For stopping murdering jihadists - racist. Anti government run healthcare -racist. Pro-Iraq overthrow of Saddam - racist
This is a goofy little show for ratings and to distract people from what's really going on. "Oh wow Stewart and Maddow got in a fight" Both are full of shit. Who the fuck are they? Your tv is playing you. Stewart is the new cool guy that zombies follow like sheep. Do some independent research on your own instead of deifying bought out characters on your idiot box.
@SixXxShooTeR83 I was all set to insult you back, but clicked on your name and wept when I read the hurtful comments others have said to you. Like others have asked: Why aren't you taking your meds? Was the child abuse you suffered so bad that you MUST try to hurt others? Didn't you say your therapist wanted you to be committed, but your mom assured him you would be ok in the basement? Didn't she ban you from tampering with her pc? PLEASE take your anti-depressant!
@SixXxShooTeR83 wtf r u babbling about? Thanks to who? I have no cable or satellite, etc...I have no pc...I am on my son's laptop....if it's any of your business.
@TheNavigateur Thank you and all my liberal friends agree..he is a pure SELLOUT!
The liberals didn't draw first blood, the right wing hate machine started by telling outright lies...like with John Kerry...was the left supposed to sit still and allow them to smear him? That was so effective, they ruined countless lives and careers.
The defenders of Stewart didn't comprehend what he is saying or are really rt wingers posing..not uncommon on youtube.
Jon Stewart is sometimes full of BS. Like when he says "I'm not in the game" when he DOES criticize politicians JUST LIKE MSNBC and Fox News do. One side is WRONG (Fox News) and the other side is CORRECT (MSNBC/Stewart). It's as simple as that. If Jon Stewart ONLY CRITICIZED THE MEDIA, then he could say "I'm not in the game", but he doesn't. He's in the game AND I WANT HIM IN THE GAME. I used to be a fan. Not so much now... I'll wait and see.
@Arcturistheballer I think maybe Stewart has watched one too many Beck shows..hopefully to get comedy material...and got brainwashed. Doesn't say much for his intellect that he could be indoctrinated so easily.
I'm just being charitable here, I REALLY think he has counted his moolah and decided he's been on the wrong side for someone of his wealth....You know the right wing mantra, "I've got mine, F you"
@zenbrenzz lol... what the hell are you talking about. You think john stuart has moved right? are you out of your mind? He is the least biased person in all of politics. He is also one of the smartest (cant say the same for maddow lol) and I am not the only who thinks that. You are just plain stupid if you cant see that... "Ive got mine, F you" lol who the hell has ever said that in their entire life, that doesnt even make sense.
@Arcturistheballer ANY liberal KNOWS Maddow is a genius...you just exposed yourself...get back to the Fox channel and you and OReilly can invite STEWART on to tell Fox to stop being so partisan...LMAO
@Arcturistheballer No matter what you have learned watching Fox, calling names does not strengthen your argument (do you have one?) nor diminish mine.
@zenbrenzz lol yes i do have an argument... you are retarded, that is my argument and you have provided me with the facts to support it lmao what dont you understand
i like jon stewart's show - this interview, however, is kind of whacky. jon talks like some of the assholes he pokes fun at on his own show. he comes off as some schmuck that is somehow better than the politics today. you don't have to pick apart either the left or right just because you can. you critisize the corrupt - as they have earned it.
She presses Jon for an example and he tells her, straight up, that she and MSNBC were dismissive of the town hall protesters, and she won't accept it. I'm a right winger. i disagree with Jon Stewart on a lot of things, but he's at least honest with himself about his views and the nature of media. Maddow is just another true believer lying for her cause.
LEIBOWITZ could have redeemed himself & stood up for everyday struggling Americans... (Foreclosure, Unemployment, Dollar devaluation due to Federal Reserve Q.E #2, 9/11 lies, Made-up WARS that cost tax-payers TRILLIONS, Federal Reserve corruption & manipulation/enslavement of the American population for almost 100 years)
Yet, of course he didn't stand up because his FAMILY brought down the economy his brother Larry Leibowitz is a WALL-STREET chief & is in bed with corrupt officials!
@North2016 Thanks for the pointing out that Jon Stewart is a jew. Really, no one fucking knew, before your subtle LEIBOWITZ, that he believed in Judaism. BRAVO!!
'Stood up for everyday struggling Americans...' Stewart is a satirist and it is through satire that he tries to show the corruption on both the left and the right. That's his way of standing up for the everyday struggling Americans.
@Nowasta Yea tell that to his WALL-STREET brother who screwed the American population....
American is suffering & it is sad to see you support one of many on the mainstream media who actually has TIES to the economic recession we are in....
@North2016 Do I smell guilt by association here??:) I guess if his brother is a wall street guy, Jon can't think for himself and differently...sigh...I also heard he has an aunt who is cousins with someone who's father will soon inhabit a newly built condo in the illegal settlements, that must mean Stewart is a zionist also...see what I did here...:)
@marcuty I am singling him out because of his RALLY FOR C-R-A-P that spent our tax-payer dollars & did not mention the important issues, it wasted time & money...
Leibowitz & his sheeple (you) are all govt. shills, this man is just as guilty as his brother knowing what is ACTUALLY going on yet refuses to tell the American public because he profits from it...
@North2016 You're paranoid and delusional. You'll wake up one day from where you are and think 'Holy fuck I was crazy when I believed that baseless half-baked crap.'
@North2016 Really...he is not describing things as they are??!! On the financial system for example, how about you check out the full interview he did with Jim Cramer...you don't know what you are talking about. And, sorry dude for boring you, I guess reality is more boring than the paranoid delusions that seem to shape you views of the world...
@North2016 Oh please, enlighten me the 'sheeple' on how agreeing with a comedic satirist would lead to the Depression. What is in my mentality that would create the 1929 all over again?
Btw, you've been saying here that Jon Stewart wasted taxpayer money for his rally? Really? Please prove to me how a bunch of people that went to a rally that was privately organized used public money; if you can't, just GET FUCKED
@Nowasta Unless we have a "free-market" economy, nothing is every truly "private". Private corporations are not private at all, Viacom which owns Comedy Central has govt. insiders who lobby with the federal govt. & receive compensation via tax-dollars which in term payed for that infamous "rally".
Do you need to be educated? You seem to doubt & question many things, using insults just shows your level of education..
@North2016 And your use of the term "which in term" (instead of "turn"), superfluous italics, .. instead of ..., and commas where periods are demanded shows your level of pretension. Following your logic, I should apologize to taxpayers for going to the restroom. It sure is getting hard to be Libertarian with these B.S. arguments meandering around.
@North2016 So, according to you, your critics are either uneducated or are, conversely, educators. Obsessed with education= 10th grade drop-out, living with his Mom, posting comments on Youtube at 3 o'clock in the morning. Bye, Loser.
@North2016 Do you have any empirical evidence to prove that the rally was somehow funded by taxpayers through Viacom?
"You seem to doubt & question many things" Yes I do, and I think, that is the only way to get 'educated'. If you can't give any evidence to your claims, I will question it; might be inconvenient for you, but hey, that's how we gain knowledge.
I'm using 'insults' to show my frustrations at you idiots; not to show my 'level of education'.
@Nowasta Common knowledge that monopolistic pimps (Viacom) are in bed with congressional whores.
Viacom has govt. insiders who receive tax-payer dollars & again unless we have a "free-market" economy NOTHING is "Private"... If you can't understand that concept, then their is no need to keep discussing!
@North2016 So this is your final argument; Be dismissive about everything I've said as, let's say, 'uneducated'. Well fuck that, no matter what I say won't change your narrow scope of conspiracy theory.
So this is my last question; What is this 'free-market' economy you talk about? Let's assume that I'm the dumbest idiot in this whole world; how would you teach me about a truly 'free-market' economy?
Both sides of the media brainwash us into thinking one side is better than the other. THey also shun middle ground because like my mom says "they are just fucking pussies that cannot make up their damn mind"
Stewart.. um I mean Jonathan LEIBOWITZ sold-out the American people & wasted our tax-payer dollars on that infamous "RALLY OF C-R-A-P"
How so? Well Viacom owns Comedy Central, it is well known Viacom lobbies with Congress & has Washington insiders within the federal govt. that are paid with tax-dollars. There is no such thing as "PRIVATE" anymore because the United States is NOT a free-market economy it is capitalist which still has govt. intervention.
Extremist vs regular.??......Liberal imbecile who claims to be trying to bring'' dialogue'' to the conversation,yet absolutely hates those that don't share his views.He does nothing to mend fences,he just looks down his nose and sneers at those that have a different view.Anyone that looks for a message in this guys words is a fool.
I would so have a foursome with Rachel, Jon and some random slut.
We'd be smoking weed and taking the lords name in vain every minute.
At the end we'd ditch the stranger, Jon would ask to go home and we would drop him off. He'd get out with an ashamed look on his face. Then Rachel would basically rush me home, then go looking back for that random slut. It would be such a wonderful night. =D
The problem for both Rachel and Jon is that they know they can only go so far in their comments before the tide turns on them and they are out of jobs. They can say speak in generalities about the false red / blue paradigm, and how corruption is a real issue/threat, but not what exactly that corruption entails and who the players are. I honestly wonder what it feels like to have such a voice, and have to hold back vital truths so as not to rock the boat too much. Sad state of affairs!
Stewart sounds like most U.S. inbred thought politicos.
Some how corruption vs anti-corruption will solve all problems.
Inbreeding starts with the massive REP/DEM duopolistic deception that 2 party controled elections are representative in fair proportional representative (PR)democracy which is false flawed and is inbred political thought and philosophy.
@TheItchyFetus One who advocates anti-secrecy PUBLIC(audit)reports on all gov't ops, sunshine clauses, adhere to U.S. Constitution, Free fair (PR) democracy to promote proportional representation, stop political 'back room' deals like rigged elections for 2 main parties. Stop jerry-meandered electoral districts for 2party corrupt system. A judicial system where laws are crafted correctly & not based on money,influence or advocate judges who base opinion to favor single sector richpeople-is bad?
At first, I didn't understand what Jon's rally was about, but now that he's explained it, I GET IT! The media is TRASH, everything is a battle to them. I wish they'd just stick to reporting the news and leave their goddamn opinions/interpretations out of it! If the media spent half it's time just reporting the news and less time trying to BRAINWASH the American public, we'd be a lot better off in this country. BTW, Rachel looks really pretty in this clip.
well, it's easy to say, "technically, bush is a war criminal, but...", while sitting in your comfortable chair within your lap of luxury, isn't it, jon? you're not one of innocent victims in iraq that got his kids blown away and life destoryed by lies of wmds. and we should be willfully blind to the obvious bs and omissions in the official 9-11 report..or even have lying eyes to the pulverizing collapses those buildings and the coincidences of that day and of days leading up to that fateful day!
Democrats urged military action against Saddam over WMDs right before Bush took office. Hear them for yourself: /watch?v=Cwqh4wQPoQk
Obama has not only continued the wars, he's expanded them. Record troop deaths in Afghanistan ... record civilian casualties in Pakistan. By the way, when did we declare war in Pakistan? Where's Code Pink?
@2010GOP i'm a fuckin' idiot? what am i saying that's so fuckin' idiotic? do ya know how to read even? did i even mention or go into anything that you're retardedly trying to link me into saying? matter of fact, i agree with what you're saying! just because i didn't happen to bring it up due to the limit of how many characters you can include within your comment doesn't mean i don't know what da fuck i'm talking about!!!
Jon Stewart obviously is a douche bag when he tries to be serious. He needs to stick with comedy and tell us his perspective from that frame of mind! This interview was basically saying,,both sides are equally guilty of being idiots, lairs and crooks. I believe conservatives take pride in it and liberals try to correct themselves when wrong! BIG DIFFERENCE JON!!!!
That is not what he is saying. Maddow is convinced that is what he is saying. He even has to pretty much talk her down, rebuild her ego, and repeat again "you are nothing like fox news."
He made some legitimate criticisms against left media. We should be able to handle that without crying jumping to saying he made a false comparison,when that isn't even what he was referring to.
@MrJustreason I did watch the whole interview...and IF BIG IF..you are on the left, you are the reason we all hear how our answer to every problem is to hold hands and sing, "Koombaya" (or however it's spelled)
The priciples I believe in are: Shelter the homeless Feed the hungry Heal the sick
I think these put me in the category of "left" The opposite, who care nothing abt living in a just, functioning society, only abt acquiring wealth are called the right....
@MrJustreason Not all those narratives are false; You seem to be doing okay with the truth. After perceiving the falseness of the false narrative will come strong temptation to detest and hate those who believe the false narrative. The more you perceive of that falseness the more it will offer you that temptation, but giving in and striking out at those who are victims of the deception won't make you feel any better. Accept the challenge as a personal duty to educate others of human goodness.
You can literally trace back the data and memories that led you there.
The problem is most people grab a view before fully understanding it
Once implanted the brain seeks only for information to validate that. Conspiracy theorist are a perfect example.
You affirmed Obama is a socialist. That is your bias. Acknowledge you could be wrong, deliberately seek to prove that view wrong. Catch is, the bias follows you with your data mining.
Something hit Stewart's nerve that he wanted this interview. Saying Bush Jr is a war criminal is not a conversation stopper. It begs the question which is, "Why do you think Bush Jr is a War Criminal?" The Right on the other hand are clueless. There have been many videos made askting the right such questions as, "What freedoms are you losing?" The right just stands there with a blank face, in other words they have no clue what they are talking about.
We've become divided thanks to the Republicans, who went on their own twisted agenda in the nineties, with some stupid blow job. They are responsible for destroying the political discourse in this country.
And Bush lied to go to war with Iraq. Where are the weapons of mass destruction? Where is the credible link between Saddam and 9/11? Wasn't it Osama Bin Laden, we were told countless times, who engineered it?
I pray for this country. We're appeasing morons and it should be stopped.
@prunscilla Saddam used WMD to kill millions of Iraqis in the 80's... chemical weapons. You lie about lies and supposed liars who tell them. President Bush didn't lie, everybody in the CIA and congress were very sure Saddam had WMD and congress authorized his removal, as well as the U.N.! So go ahead and discard all that to make a slanderous allegation, that's all you're interested in, not the truth. If you're serious about praying for this country then how can you be so disingenuous?
@DOHC2L And who helped put Saddam in power in the first place?
Reagan!!
And you don't start wars on being "very sure" of something. You have absolute proof. There was no actual proof of there actually being WMD, it was all a matter of opinion and heavy pressuring on the part of Bush and his cronies. Don't even get me started on the authorized use of illegal torture methods, completely against the Constitution. What facts am I ignoring?
@DOHC2L .who provided him wiht wmds?look that up for one.Second of all america supported saddamm against iran and provided hi with those weapons and intelligence of the enemy.The cia was not sure and congress were caught up in the nonsense of the pre iraq war propaganda..we placed sanctions on iraq that killed hundreds of thousands of people and on top of that corporations backed by the bush admin are building iraq ,not trying to install democracy like bush said we would.Stick to something u kno
The argument that those believing 9/11 was an inside job is a conspiracy of the left is a blatant lie told by Bill Maher; That lie sets up a straw-man argument meant to discredit conservatives who criticize President Obama's socialist agenda.
It does so by attributing 9/11 conspiracies to the far-left and then claiming no Democrat leaders believe 9/11 conspiracies is a false pretext; Of course no Democrats believe it because it's far-right.
The point JS is making is one that is so rarely discussed on US television. Its a shame that people are not seeing the big picture. Networks are exercising their power to influence the American publics discourse. When you are watching a network, you are watching a corporation. If a network is unwilling to broadcast a particular political belief, whether it is from the left or from the right, that network does not exist for the people, it exists to influence. Who benefits from this? Corporations.
@medialies100 You've successfully cloaked the issue of free speech in biased political conjecture. But you forget that news networks compete with each other and who benefits from this? Everybody.
THIS IS FUCKING HILLARIOUS!!!!!!! THE LIBTARDS ARE RUNNING SCARED!
john stewart used to be fucking awesome back when he hosted his music show, he'd have helmet on, neds atomic dustbin, etc etc. He's finally getting some of his fun spirit back by smacking this bitch around.
Is her question at 3:45 serious—How does the Left shut down debate? Has she ever been on a college campus? Conservative speakers are shouted down repeatedly. Two quick examples:Ann Coulter had food thrown at her a few years ago and the Minutemen were stopped from speaking at Columbia. (I'm not a fan of either, but that's besides the point).
@jackdav34 I think she's talking about filibusters, corporate infiltrates at town hall meetings - not to demean your point, but college campus and the federal government are quite different.
Throwing a pie at ann coulter did not shut down debate..it was to just to make a point...the minutemen thing has nothing to do with the left....it was a school policy.
jon stewart is a punk, he is a de facto left wing commentator and he knows it, now he is kissing republican ass pucker because of the election, bush is not a war criminal? get the fuck out jon

It's a bit rich for Jon Stewart to speak out against the rancous division of "red" and "blue", when he's done so much to exploit that division and cheerlead for the Left to promote his career.
It's a Leftist hack criticizing a Leftist hack for being a Leftist hack. I don't buy it.

And so on. And so forth.
Like I said. It's a bit rich for Jon Stewart, of all people, to be decrying partisanship. He's the biggest Left-wing celebrity brown noser since Jane Fonda. In a world with Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon, that's saying a lot.

@chronDiggity Stewart doesn't always attack Republicans. He also attacks Democrtas that he thinks deviate from the Party Line. He's ideologically minded, and not exclusively loyal to the Democrats.
FOX News is an advocate for what they think are "conservative" issues, but they aren't unusual in having a bias. Most of the other US news outlets, and all the cable news outlets, have pronounced biases - mostly to the Left.

@chronDiggity In regards Weiner, I remember how Jon Stewart was in regards teh story when it first came out. He was the most softball of them all - which, considering his supposed "comedic" theme, is rather odd. If Weiner were a Republican he would have been out of the gate on him from the very beginning. Then, even after Stewart started to cover the story, he tried to put a complimentary spin on it. He criticised the media, and was mostly upset that a Democrat seat was lost to Republicans.
DrCruel 1 month ago
@chronDiggity The problem, from my point of view, is that the market promotes news that is sensationalized and ideologically pure, and doesn't promote fact finding or a depth of reporting. This isn't the fault of the networks, but of the customers - us. Most of us apparently like "entertainment" news over real journalism.
But Jon Stewart exploits that tendency. He's not a legitimate spokesman against the trend, and he's a hypocritical weasel for trying to be - even as he profits from it.

I think conservatives such as yourself get confused because you don't comprehend one simple fact: The Daily Show isn't news. It is satire.
He exploits making news entertaining and funny? That's his job, though. That's why people tune in. Ultimately, if you can't laugh at his jokes, and in turn at yourself sometimes, your problem isn't with him, it's with yourself. I'm an avid Ron Paul supporter, but even I have to laugh at how obsessed and cultist we sound sometimes.

No matter where the locus of discussion is, it's going to be adversarial, that's the sign of a good free society.

What scares me about liberals is their tendency to skew the argument with their emotions. They want to make it seem that they care more about the poor,minorities and the disenfranchised .

Also, the corporate "news" in the US doesn't "buy into it" ('it' being sociopolitical division), but is the very tool that elites rely upon to perpetuate Divide & Rule, and further obfuscate meaning and clarity.

They can say speak in generalities about the false red / blue paradigm, and how corruption is a real issue/threat, but not what exactly that corruption entails and who the players are. I honestly wonder what it feels like to have such a voice, and have to hold back vital truths so as not to rock the boat too much. Sad state of affairs!

Stewart sounds like most U.S. inbred thought politicos.
Some how corruption vs anti-corruption will solve all problems.
Inbreeding starts with the massive REP/DEM duopolistic deception that 2 party controled elections are representative in fair proportional representative (PR)democracy which is false flawed and is inbred political thought and philosophy.

@TheItchyFetus One who advocates anti-secrecy PUBLIC(audit)reports on all gov't ops, sunshine clauses, adhere to U.S. Constitution, Free fair (PR) democracy to promote proportional representation, stop political 'back room' deals like rigged elections for 2 main parties. Stop jerry-meandered electoral districts for 2party corrupt system. A judicial system where laws are crafted correctly & not based on money,influence or advocate judges who base opinion to favor single sector richpeople-is bad?

At first, I didn't understand what Jon's rally was about, but now that he's explained it, I GET IT! The media is TRASH, everything is a battle to them. I wish they'd just stick to reporting the news and leave their goddamn opinions/interpretations out of it! If the media spent half it's time just reporting the news and less time trying to BRAINWASH the American public, we'd be a lot better off in this country. BTW, Rachel looks really pretty in this clip.

Jon Stewart obviously is a douche bag when he tries to be serious. He needs to stick with comedy and tell us his perspective from that frame of mind! This interview was basically saying,,both sides are equally guilty of being idiots, lairs and crooks. I believe conservatives take pride in it and liberals try to correct themselves when wrong! BIG DIFFERENCE JON!!!!

That is not what he is saying. Maddow is convinced that is what he is saying. He even has to pretty much talk her down, rebuild her ego, and repeat again "you are nothing like fox news."
He made some legitimate criticisms against left media. We should be able to handle that without crying jumping to saying he made a false comparison,when that isn't even what he was referring to.

If all you come up with is "But look at the right, they are insane" Than you missed the point completely.
His point I believe is clearly made in his climate/weather analogy.
the "weather" would be stories (often legitimate) about how crazy they all are.
Repeated over and over is the sensationalized "climate"
Example the weather is some on the right are racists but the climate is the right are racists.
MrJustreason 1 year ago
To make my case further ask yourself this.
When you hear yet another case of a bigot on the right are you surprised?
I'm not I expect it and if I step back my bias is really formed on a false premise.
I have had to catch myself many times from totally generalizing someone I know because they are on the right.
That is what he means by saying we fight fire with fire.
We all construct false narratives to fit our view. And saying they do it more does not change that. Thats unproductive.
MrJustreason 1 year ago
@MrJustreason Not all those narratives are false; You seem to be doing okay with the truth. After perceiving the falseness of the false narrative will come strong temptation to detest and hate those who believe the false narrative. The more you perceive of that falseness the more it will offer you that temptation, but giving in and striking out at those who are victims of the deception won't make you feel any better. Accept the challenge as a personal duty to educate others of human goodness.

I assume you believe your world view is correct.
You can literally trace back the data and memories that led you there.
The problem is most people grab a view before fully understanding it
Once implanted the brain seeks only for information to validate that. Conspiracy theorist are a perfect example.
You affirmed Obama is a socialist. That is your bias. Acknowledge you could be wrong, deliberately seek to prove that view wrong. Catch is, the bias follows you with your data mining.

Something hit Stewart's nerve that he wanted this interview. Saying Bush Jr is a war criminal is not a conversation stopper. It begs the question which is, "Why do you think Bush Jr is a War Criminal?" The Right on the other hand are clueless. There have been many videos made askting the right such questions as, "What freedoms are you losing?" The right just stands there with a blank face, in other words they have no clue what they are talking about.

Good point.
It's only a "conversation stopper" is you're having the conversation with a brain-dead idiot who thinks Bush is God.
Besides, why is it any moreof a "conversation stopper" than saying Pol Pot is a war criminal, other than that Bush is an American and PolPot isn't.

We've become divided thanks to the Republicans, who went on their own twisted agenda in the nineties, with some stupid blow job. They are responsible for destroying the political discourse in this country.
And Bush lied to go to war with Iraq. Where are the weapons of mass destruction? Where is the credible link between Saddam and 9/11? Wasn't it Osama Bin Laden, we were told countless times, who engineered it?
I pray for this country. We're appeasing morons and it should be stopped.

@prunscilla Saddam used WMD to kill millions of Iraqis in the 80's... chemical weapons. You lie about lies and supposed liars who tell them. President Bush didn't lie, everybody in the CIA and congress were very sure Saddam had WMD and congress authorized his removal, as well as the U.N.! So go ahead and discard all that to make a slanderous allegation, that's all you're interested in, not the truth. If you're serious about praying for this country then how can you be so disingenuous?

@DOHC2L And who helped put Saddam in power in the first place?
Reagan!!
And you don't start wars on being "very sure" of something. You have absolute proof. There was no actual proof of there actually being WMD, it was all a matter of opinion and heavy pressuring on the part of Bush and his cronies. Don't even get me started on the authorized use of illegal torture methods, completely against the Constitution. What facts am I ignoring?

The argument that those believing 9/11 was an inside job is a conspiracy of the left is a blatant lie told by Bill Maher; That lie sets up a straw-man argument meant to discredit conservatives who criticize President Obama's socialist agenda.
It does so by attributing 9/11 conspiracies to the far-left and then claiming no Democrat leaders believe 9/11 conspiracies is a false pretext; Of course no Democrats believe it because it's far-right.
The fact remains President Obama is a socialist.

The point JS is making is one that is so rarely discussed on US television. Its a shame that people are not seeing the big picture. Networks are exercising their power to influence the American publics discourse. When you are watching a network, you are watching a corporation. If a network is unwilling to broadcast a particular political belief, whether it is from the left or from the right, that network does not exist for the people, it exists to influence. Who benefits from this? Corporations.

Is her question at 3:45 serious—How does the Left shut down debate? Has she ever been on a college campus? Conservative speakers are shouted down repeatedly. Two quick examples:Ann Coulter had food thrown at her a few years ago and the Minutemen were stopped from speaking at Columbia. (I'm not a fan of either, but that's besides the point).

@zbjordan23 Your denials are classic examples of how liberals typically react to legitimate criticism; With hypocrisy. I'll elaborate...
It's hypocritical to deny something then argue points of legitimacy to that something.
Denial: "Throwing a pie...did not shut down debate..."
Arguing it's legitimacy: "it was just to make a point."
Denial: "it was a school policy."
Arguing it's legitimacy: "It has nothing to do with the left."
You're a hypocrite, your rationalization is cherry-picked.
