2. They are part of the problem, I'm tired of everyone yelling at each other
yelling on hate radio, yelling on TV, these news shows that aren't even news anymore. Everything is spinning out of control since Bush has taken the country and shaken it up with the mixture of hate and greed. Bush will not prevail and we should all call for the exile of the entire Bush family out of this country for good!

Jon Stewart is unbelievable. I don't think CNN expected this. I've never seen an such excoriation of the media. Good Lord. I've wanted someone to say this for a long time, but now I'm worried about Jon.

Will the Big Corporations try to pull the plug on him now? Begala and Carlson were both exposed for the whores that they are. Begala was NO help at all.

Stewart was all alone on stage.

10. I bet he did.
He was performing a public service. They want him to be a "monkey" and make people laugh. He surprised them by being serious.

19. Certainly unexpected
I tuned in for laughs. So in a way, I'm disappointed.

However, jokes would be the thing that they expected too. But think about it, who better than Jon Stewart to accuse them of not doing their job, and trying to do his instead.

43. Jon to Tuck about news 'responsibility' that tuck is accusing him
of being 'lacking' in. J response: (paraphrased)
CNN, the biggest news network is looking at a comedy show for cues on integrity?

LOL!

7. Again, he's saying what the 'responsible' media SHOULD say.
Edited on Fri Oct-15-04 03:53 PM by TahitiNut
The political COWARDICE of the 'legitimate' media is appalling.

Fucker Carlson continues an unbroken record of imposing a higher standard on ohters than he comes close to meeting himself.

Jon's supposed to ask penetrating questions on a comedy show when Fucker merely hurls ridicule and ad hominems? :puke:

Fucker wants to equate Crossfire to dinner at a restaurant? :puke:

Jon, the funnyman, driving home a very salient point: the media is NOT DOING ITS JOB!

This is theatre. You wear a bow tie. The show that leads in to me is puppet theatre. What is wrong with you?

Holy shit, that was AWESOME!

47. Jon was absolutely awesome.
I just heard the tape of Randi Rhodes' show. All I can say is WOW!!!I have been a fan of the Daily Show since the Kilborn days. I became and even bigger fan when Jon took over. I have turned on many of my friends to TDS. I'm writing a letter to Jon right now congratulating him on the excellent job he did.
