@finerbiner What is it about FOX News that makes them a lightning rod for such controversy - and not, say, MSNBC or CBS News? And what has any of this to do with Jon Stewart being a Leftist hack? If his claim is that partisan politics in the media is "hurting America", why then is he practicing exactly that?
He's as much of a "satirist" as Rush Limbaugh. Given the venom I've heard directed at Limbaugh for decades, why is it that Stewart is being applauded for the same "satirical" behavior?

@DrCruel I have seen Stewart on Fox. He never has claimed to be "fair and balanced" or to be a member of the news media. He is a satirist. The finest of this generation. he pokes fun while making a point.
FOX is a news organization that claims to be even handed. That is an outright lie and in no way comparable to Stewart's show.

@finerbiner I didn't claim he was a biased pundit that nevertheless tries to remain objective and rational. I said he's a Leftist hack that promotes his ideology whenever he gets the chance. I also claimed his motivation is in catering to his moonbat sophomore socialist fans.
He doesn't voice an opinion. He promotes an ideology, frequently with misleading spots on his show, and occasionally with outright lies. He's guilty of exactly what he claims FOX News is doing, and it's deliberate.

@DrCruel Every person is informed by a "world view". Any entity that attempts to say otherwise should be avoided. Stewart has never said he was and unbiased observer. Fox news"fair and balanced" and"we report you decide" are much more misleading. Your assessment is oversimplified to the extreme and therefore of no use. If you disagree with Stewart's opinion, tell us why he is wrong.

@DathanielTDK He accuses the Republicans of being corrupt, evil and stupid, but also diabolically clever (how else to explain their popularity). He accuses the Democrats of being well meaning but not cunning or ruthless enough (how else to explain why the American public rejects so many of their policy points).
This is "not picking sides"? In what universe?

So true.

@tomthefunky I will, mostly because I'm bored of you and you are completely lost, you can tax the rich they can't hide all their money. Ireland is a prime example of Boom and BUST its what I want to end, you don't see any other POV because you know your pupulist tax cuts will put the country in more debt, this will be my last message as ur boring me

@MATTNOUTCHCOS: They go to countries with low corporate tax rates. Example? Ireland in the 1990's. Read up on that. The rich can't hide their money? Oh, how naive you are. Read up on how John D. Rockefeller did it. It's called a Swiss bank account. And you can tax the rich a 100% and do the same with those corporations you despise and it won't solve jack shit. The democrats are for lower taxation? Bullshit because nowhere where they govern do low tax rates exist. Give me a break.

@tomthefunky It's better than cutting taxes for big business and letting the executives escape with extra money they don't need and wont use.
-
@tomthefunky No you didn't they're still legitimate, Big businesses wont raise the prices and wont run away 1)where would they go, America is too big of a consumer society to leave 2)they wouldn't get any sales from high prices, the rich can't just hide all their money they're not fucking batman u fool, EVERY Democrat is for Lower taxation where and when its economically affordable, we don't just want to steal American's money.
@daobagua Fair point, I just get angry when Conservatives label anyone who doesn't think like they do Socialist as if it is wrong to think like that. Also recent events show us how much Murdoch's FOX News is a sham never covering the Phone hacking just shows they're biased fearmongerers

Thing I love about Jon Stewart is that he doesn't pic sides. He will pimpslap both sides at every point he thinks they're being stupid. It's a pity that shows that are labeled "Comedic News Satire" should actually be taken more seriously than the shows that are actually labeled as "News".
