more people need to listen to this guy when he is actually serious

[Clyaton]

He sort of just stood up for Fox and Bill O'reilly in a way.. (not any worse than anyone else) ('oreilly is reasoned'). That's why conserv. republicans like me (slightly cons. NOT a neo-con retard)respect and love Jon Stewart. He's honest and has GOOD solid opinions. If he were a politician he'd be up there with Ron Paul for me despite differences. People who care and WANT good things for our home

@westwind85 Why did you post this so much? That stuff is on Wikipedia... *genuinely confused*

[westwind85]

Jon's brother Larry Leibowitz is the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the New York Stock Exchange.

@ecody1 He didn't end it, he just said what needed to be said ;)

@Clyaton

Could not agree more.

[ecody1]

"watch crossfire" We can't. You ended that show Jon. -sigh-

[SnorklinWithCudas]

@ciftode he's always serious

[rahn45]

A bit ironic in where that John suggests that news networks adopt a narrative of 'no BS' that his own show narrative of 'presenting the truth in a funny way' has in effect turned his show into a reliable news source; simply because his show actually deals with the truth instead of asking open ended questions to 'let the audience decide' what the truth is for them. The news should be the ones putting the pieces together and presenting it, not giving it's audience a puzzle to solve.

when he is serious, hes a powerful smart speaker

when hes joking, hes still a powerful smart commentator

brilliant jon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Clyaton - good to see someone on the other side with the right approach to these things

[lebaneseameer]

@DChaplow They could have at least advertised it a little more on the Daily Show!! I remember when I watched it on TV.....I was flipping through channels and I by chance landed on it! I only caught the last 15 minutes of it, which sucked for me because this was great throughout the hour!!
