John Stewart is back
 
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."

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.
