John Stewart is back

[Guest]

Question can you be "fair and balance", and be a hypocrite? Those terms are the complete opposite, but Fox Noise has no problem claiming to be one, but are in fact the other. John Stewart did a number on Sean Hannity.

Just another liberal idiot that should move to a socialist country so that he can see first hand the difference. More liberals need to live in other countries so they can learn to appreciate what America is all about. Maybe then they will quit trying to change it into something less than it is. John Stewart is a nut case, period.

Socialism does work when the people all contribute equally. It worked well in northern European countries...until the minorities showed up. It's ALWAYS them destroying a once beautiful place.

Socialism is a stagnant, old fashioned and regressive ideology that in it's more pure form is a sure failure. Small bits of socialist programs can survive, but are hardly productive and mostly leaches of prosperity. America has proven that a country that has less gov control can be abundantly successful. More gov control, less prosperity.

Donald Trump seems to be pushing for a huge big brother like police state with him as its Napoleon. Mixing books a little bit between Animal Farm and 1984.

Jon Stewart and any compassionate thinking person should be saying everything they can about stopping Donald Trump's extremely dark vision of America from becoming a reality.

It depends on what you want...growth or stability.

The problem is, you have to be able to pick and choose WHO will be living with you as part of the group. You need to be able to turn people away...that would be racist.

Really? When? Prior to Lincoln? Since then, it's been taking more and more control over everything. We're more "ruled over" than the colonists were under king George. And you think we're "free"? Really? There's a law governing EVERYTHING.

While it’s nowhere near the top, 12% of online Americans cited The Daily Show as a place they got their news. This audience share was on par with that of USA Today (12%) and The Huffington Post (13%) among 36 different news outlets Pew Research Center asked about in a 2014 survey. Roughly equal shares of online Americans trust (16%) and distrust (18%) The Daily Show as a source of government and political news, but there is a strong ideological split in who trusts the show: Almost half (45%) of consistent liberals say they trust The Daily Show, while less than 1% of consistent conservatives say the same.


old news but interesting
I think the show exposed many politicians.

Selectively. It exposed those they wanted exposed. Those who weren't performing.

And you REALLY think that a Hillary alternative is better??? Please don't show your stupidity by answering that with a yes.

Compassionate? Is that what she was when she lied to the victims of Benghazi? Is that what she is when she steals from a charity fund? Is that what she is when she endorses the founder of Planned Parenthood that states that the purpose of abortions provided is genocide of the black community? Was Hillary compassionate to that little girl that was raped, and Hillary defended successfully the rapist and then laughed as she stated that she KNEW he was guilty? Was she compassionate when she destroyed Billy's girlfriends?

The Clintons are scum and anyone that endorses such behavior is scum in my opinion.

You think Stewart is so cool? Obviously, you are a very shallow person that is easily conned by Hollywood and politicians. Try thinking for yourself instead of being lead.

If you are worried about PC, then you deserve being bullied. Being a bigot or racist does not automatically make a person a bad person. But the term "bigot" is often misused and racist seems to be constrained to be inclusive of only one group, WHITES. Both terms are often misused, as is the term "hate" by the liberals. If you don't agree with liberals, you "hate" or you are a "bigot" or a "racist."

[Guest]

That was Jon Stewart at a new level. And using Hannity as an example of over the top hypocrisy was an entertaining way of tying the whole segment in. So, come on you stick- in the-muds, watch the segment and then comment.

You and I think at least one other Republican didn't watch the clip. It is obvious. Stewart went after Fox Noise more than Trump. There hasn't been a peep about Fox Noise out and out hypocrisy on any post. He really went after Lumpy Hannity.

These some of the things attacks Fox charged Obama with: divisive, lack of experience, thin skinned, authoritarian, elite, and use of the teleprompter. When it comes Obama, those are real problems, but are perfectly acceptable, when it comes to Trump.

In the world of the Fox viewer, hypocrisy is perfectly acceptable. The liberal media, and Hollywood are the problem. How could you come to any other conclusion than that, when you only watch Fox Noise?
"Fair and Balanced" are just so many empty words.

You are a piece of work. You accept that ALL the other media is liberally biased, but hold FOX up to a stricter standard. So, who is being the hypocrite? Hannity is NOT NEWS, get it? I know, it is hard for you to discern the difference between Hollywood entertainment and facts or news. Hannity is a commentator, get it? He is expressing his opinion, just like Stewart does. Only Steward tries to mix comedy with his opinion. He is just a Hollywood liberal that is always seeking, yearning for the spotlight.

By the way, FOX thanks you for making them the number one cable news network in America. Without liberal viewership, that could never have been achieved.

That's the difference and just one point the poster was making.

You take pride in the fact that liberals watch your "unbiased" cable news source. You or maybe someone else on the boards take pride in not watching the clip the liberal provided. They don't have to see it to know what it's about.

Open minded people want to hear and see everything and not just stick their head in the sand or in Fox News show.

You are assuming a lot. First off, I never said FOX news was unbiased. You liberals enjoy putting words that you like in other folk's mouths. Secondly, why do you assume (again) that I don't check out other news sources. Your problem is that you confuse commentary with news, as well as comic entertainment with news. Remember, it is almost ALWAYS the liberal that insists on links when ever one of us makes a statement. Don't blame us if we do not wish to view your links to some off the wall liberal article by some radical that uses no facts but gets you all riled up thinking he is an expert.

I suggested that liberals had their heads in the sand because I did not think that any intelligent person could possibly, being informed still vote for a Clinton, especially Hillary. I had given you the benefit of doubt as to being intelligent, therefore I had "assumed" that you were intelligent but ignorant of facts related to her. I mean, there has been no denial, just defensive attacks on the part of the Clinton clan. She did lie pathologically, but lying is not as bad as her actions/history.

Word is the Clinton Foundation is paying his salary to spew political venom for her.
What a waste of time and money since the only ones that listen to him are the brainwashed, partisan radicals, party first no matter what (even if an American killing felon).

Who put the word out Fox News? Do you know what I haven't seen is anyone here defending Fox News. The people watching Fox News aren't brainwashed. They are clear thinking Americans, who want both sides of an argument. They only want news that is fair and balanced.

Republicans keep referring to the liberal press. However, their news organization, Fox, keeps on saying that they are "fair and balanced". Take a look at how they criticized Obama, and then take a damn good look at Trump. Please enlighten us. How do the traits they accused Obama of having not apply to Trump?

If you can't then you know that Fox news is nothing but a bunch of liars, and hypocrites. The reporters in the middle of the day are decent. However, the potted plants in the morning, and all the noise programs after 7 PM are right wing hacks, and news is the furthest thing on their minds.

The only news program on MSNBC is Morning Joe. All their other reporters are the flip side of Fox News. But, and this is a big but, none of MSNBC shows claim to be fair and balanced. When you know that you are being lied to, and accept the nonsense they spew out, that makes you no better than they are. Hypocrites all!

You might want to do a bit of research before posting. You might not fine yourself embarrassed. Most of the news broadcast on FOX is from AP. AP is also used by most of the other news agencies. It is just a matter of what news item they wish to broadcast. Now, if you have a problem with commentary, that is a bit different and you should say so instead of generalizing.

[Guest]

Srewart was actually looking to fill another opening but it already was filled (the opening under the horses tail....Obama got it)!

I am a piece of work. I am a hypocrite, because I want Fox News to live up to their "fair and balanced" statement. You accept that statements as fact, when you know that it is furthest thing from the truth.

When a news organization puts a commentator on air knowing that this person is as far away from "fair and balanced" as you can get, how does Fox News justify it in their own minds? Ratings! So, they could care less about the News.

Take a good look at the Stewart piece, and please tell how commentator could assign traits to Obama that were all meant to drag him down, but not say word one about Trump, who has the same traits?

Simple question for you, is Fox News "fair and balanced" in their reporting of the news?

It is just a matter of what AP news item they wish to broadcast. When you take a look at the items that they are reporting, and how they reporting it, they all go in the same direction, Obama is responsible for everything that has gone wrong in the past eight years.

Just admit when you are wrong. Yes, the news is fair and balanced. Commentary is commentary and can be skewed according to one's ideology. So, quit worrying about one network, just because it is the number one cable news network in America, thanks in part to the mass viewing by the left. Quit crying about it and accept it. You have all the other news networks working for your lefty, radical view so get over it. Quit being so selfish and spoiled. Please do not stomp the ground and have a tantrum. There will always be someone that disagrees with you. You can't have your way all the time.

I am not having a tantrum. I am laughing like hell at you. They are the number one cable news network, because their viewers do not the news. The only want news that fits their agenda. When they bring an expert on their news network, it is a right wing Republican with a right wing spin to a right wing news story.

You have swallowed the bait hook, line, and sinker. Right. Fair and Balanced! Isn't that the statement that they use before, after and during all their programs including the programs hosted by commentators?

You have accepted the fact that their so called commenters are "fair and balanced". Sure why not? Shouldn't everyone?

"Audience data for 2015 contains bad news for Fox News. Fox continues to march towards extinction as the average age of Fox News, primetime viewers is stuck at 68, while the revitalized CNN saw their average viewer age drop to 59."

"Donald Trump is leading the Republican primary because he understands who the Fox News viewers are and what they want to hear. Trump is running on a platform that is designed to capture the votes of the Fox News crowd. The fact that Donald Trump is flourishing as Fox News is aging is not a coincidence."


Fox News Is Literally Dying Of Old Age As Younger Viewers Refuse To Watch Fox (http://www.politicususa.com/2015/12/28/fox-news-literally-dying-age-younger-viewers-refuse-watch-fox.html)

When you buy a news item from AP it is yours to do whatever you want with it. Whatever.

Ignorant? Name a "diversified" paradise. You won't. They don't exist. Equality is the great fallacy. Look at how 99.9% white lives...now look at how 99.9% black lives. Go ANYWHERE on the planet and you'll find the same. It's how WE are...it's how THEY are. No amount of wishful thinking is going to change it.

They are becoming the majority. Not only are you ignorant, you're in denial too.

[Guest]

It is interesting that liberals ALWAYS divert. The whole thread has diverted to FOX from Stewart. The point is that Stewart is nothing more than a liberal hack entertainer, that just can't figure out what to do with his retirement. So, he attempts a come back by making some controversial comments to get attention. Big deal, I watched him once and saw how artificial he is and that was that. Just another Hollywood wannabe living in a make believe world. If you like his wit, great. If you take him seriously, then that just shows how gullible you are.

[Guest]

Stewart infuriates the right, because he is so good at taking their flaming hypocrisy/outright lies and presenting them in a way......that has intelligent people rolling on the floor in laughter. :D

He couldn't/wouldn't be nearly as funny as he is, if the right-wingnuts would stop supplying him with an almost limitless amount of material to work with.

In other words...he has amazing job security. :1rotfl:

It's ALL fake, that's what you have to realize, EVERYTHING you see. hear, or read, is pre-planned and rehearsed. It's marketing. Marketing a product or an idea...it's all the same. Propaganda to convince you to buy (believe) something they're selling.
