He preaches to the choir. The conservative guests he has on are usually either so inarticulate as to be easy targets, or can’t get a word in edgewise around Stewart’s points and audience reactions. The truly powerful people he has on (e.g. Cheney’s wife), he tiptoes around and barely makes any of the kinds of […]
Yeah I suppose the “100 year war” clip that he cobbled together was soo unbiased. Not. McCain clearly stated in the very same speech he wanted 100 years relationship like we have with Vietnam. We don’t have military in Vietnam. So basically left wing propaganda artists cut the video right after 100 year war and […]
I honestly get most of my news from Stewart and Colbert and I consider myself well-informed without having to endure the 24-hour news channel bullshit. The big news giants have just gotten too full of themselves with their “serious” news coverage. Stewart and Colbert, however, know how important it is to laugh at […]
jon stewart shows the absurdity of the system. the “free press” essentially repeats what the government tells them and depending on the story will hold back info if the government desires it. occasionally the media will buck the gov’t but in most cases it goes with the flow. at least with a […]
My concern with using a comedic medium for delivering news is that it trivializes the issues. People are better informed, but isn’t this because they’re being entertained? If you address serious issues through comedy doesn’t it devalue rational arguments from either side because you’re somehow removing its validity as a serious issue? […]
The fact that people are serious about a comedy show “newsman” being more trusted just goes to show that we as Americans don’t DESERVE an “honest” politician. Because clearly we can’t tell the fraking difference between fake news and real news. Nor it seems, do many of us want to. I mean […]
No, what’s sad is that you reveal a lot about yourself and your own methods of “digesting” news from TV. You obviously just take it in as the straight dope from whatever channel is giving it to you, relying on them to explain it to you and tell you the context.
The reason so many 20 […]
You’ve got to be joking, look, I like John Stewart but most of the things he says is liberal propaganda like it or not, does he give fair amount of coverage for all candidates? No, in fact, like digg he mostly jabs McCain and sobs over Obama, hasn’t even mentioned the FISA bill when that […]
I really wanted to respond to drez24 on this but RobotBudha and zombies187 have pretty much nailed it. The only point I found missing is that John Stewart does not give you the news. He satirizes it. Only people who can read between the quips actually walk away with the truth. Its […]
Well, than by your logic, since fox news has also been criticlal of republicans in the past, that means they are unbiased and also the most trusted blahblah in America. You see they all pretend and make it appear to be unbiased, that’s kind of the concept of pushing a bias… Also it’s not really […]
