[emanymton]

3. The Sound You Hear Is The Sound Of Victory In The Mourning ...

.

Of the passing of the the entire "Fix Noise" network. The death knell of a network can be heard in the laughter. The skit was so right-on funny that the "Fix Noise" network is an example of a dead-man walking.

Jalapeno brother! Praise the lord.

Can I get a witness?

A Times Magazine poll in 2009 named him the 'most trusted man in news'

18. This 'gospel choir' and his

[FlyByNight]

19. I generally don't like slogans but...

..."Fox, go fuck yourselves" is one I like.

Let's try it. Ahem: Fox, go fuck yourselves. Works just fine.

[Libertas1776]

20. I absolutely loved this

Bless Jon Stewart. I don't know what this nation would do without him.

[Cha]

21. Here's Steve Benen's take on Jon VS fauxsn00ze...PRICELESS!

"IF WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT AUDIENCE SOPHISTICATION.... There have been a few entertaining exchanges of late between "The Daily Show's" Jon Stewart and Fox News contributor Bernie Goldberg, but there was something the conservative media critic said last night that seemed especially noteworthy.

It started when Goldberg and other Fox News personalities started over-generalizing about what liberals think, after having complained about the way liberals over-generalize. It prompted Stewart to tell Fox News, "Go f*ck yourselves."

This wasn't well received at Fox News HQ, and led to a discussion between Goldberg and Bill O'Reilly. Goldberg conceded that Stewart had a point about over-generalizing, but proceeded to go after "The Daily Show" host anyway. Responding directly to Stewart, Goldberg said, speaking into the camera:

"You're just a safe Jay Leno, with a much smaller audience, but you get to say the F-bomb, which gives your incredibly unsophisticated audience the illusion -- the illusion -- that you're courageous and a renegade, but it's only an illusion."

Stewart's response is well worth watching -- I've included the video below -- and I was especially pleased to hear him explain, "I know that I criticize you and Fox News a lot, but only because you're truly a terrible, cynical, disingenuous news organization." Stewart also noted the contradiction underscoring the criticism of his audience -- Goldberg thinks "Daily Show" viewers are "elites" and "unsophisticated" at the same time?

But there's a related point I wanted to emphasize that Stewart didn't mention. In 2004, the National Annenberg Election Survey found that Fox News viewers were the most confused about current events, while viewers of "The Daily Show" were among the best informed news consumers in the country. Comedy Central, relying on data from Nielsen Media Research, also found that Stewart's audience not only knew more about current events, but were far better educated than Bill O'Reilly's audience.

Three years later, the Pew Research Study published a report showing that "viewers of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report have the highest knowledge of national and international affairs, while Fox News viewers rank nearly dead last."

Bernie Goldberg, if you want to talk about "incredibly unsophisticated audiences," we can talk about incredibly unsophisticated audiences.

23. It would be nice...

if we had that talk and every one joined in, but some how I don't think Faux would be willing.:evilgrin:

[JDPriestly]

40. O'Reilly is just not smart enough to appreciate Jon Stewart.

One of the indications of intelligence -- especially social intelligence -- is the ability to separate yourself from your ego just a tad, acknowledge your own pretensions and silliness and confusion and, well, laugh at yourself.

Jon Stewart can laugh at himself. He has fun laughing at himself. His jokes are devastating but only because they are sincere and honest. By honest, I mean that Jon Stewart is honest about the fact that they are jokes.

O'Reilly does not seem to get the fact that, while Jon Stewart's jokes make important political points, the real point of Stewart's jokes is to have fun.

Jon Stewart laughs with his audience. For Jon Stewart, hypocrisy is a pink elephant (or donkey) dancing around, high on its own pretensions. Jon Stewart shines his laugh beam on all kinds of lies including his own.

O'Reilly thinks that Stewart's viewers laugh when Stewart uses the F-word because it makes the viewers feel superior or naughty. Wrong, the viewers laugh because Stewart uses the F-word the way 9-year-old boys do: just because it feels so f... ing good. It's an expression of joy, of exuberance, not anger or vulgarity. There is a wonder, an amazement in Jon Stewart's use of the F-word. That's what is funny about it. Lenny Bruce used the F-word to express disgust and to distance himself from the establishment. Jon Stewart uses it just for fun and to embrace his audience. Big difference, Mr. O'Reilly.

When you watch Jon Stewart, you get the feeling that he is not putting people down, he is just putting them in their rightful places.

People who watch John Stewart are informed about the news. They worry about the news. Jon Stewart helps people who understand what is going on to also understand that sometimes it's better to laugh at the absurdity of the world than to worry about it.

Meanwhile, O'Reilly tries to rile his viewers up, make them angry, remind them just how awful everything is.

In contrast, Jon Stewart gives his viewers something to help cope with the horror of life -- humor. And we who watch Jon Stewart thank him for that.

22. Now that is Epic Win!! nt

[Kurovski]

24. K&R

"Go fuck yourself" is certainly the kindest, most Christian thing I could personally think of to say to Goldberg.

Generous, really.

I couldn't love Jon any more even if he were me myself sporting a frisky ten-incher.

[Major Hogwash]

25. His dance at the end reminded me of Steve Martin in "The Jerk" - funnier than hell.

Stew Beef is on fire!!

Tracy Morgan has determined that John Stewart's hip hop name for street cred reasons, he should now be known as Stew Beef!

[Jefferson23]

26. Brilliant, one of Stewart's very best. 5 Stars buddy! n/t

[eyepaddle]

27. Fantastic. eom

:rofl:

[Rambis]

28. That was quality

:applause:

[NewJeffCT]

29. Replying now so I can view at home later. Is there a transcript I can read now?

Thanks for posting.

[Turborama]

36. Can't find a transcript but Raw Story have a good synopsis with quotes

Here: http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0421/jon-stewart-f-bombs-fox-gospel-choir/

Sorry about the delay but I only saw your reply just now and found the RS piece. Wish I'd found it earlier so it could have been added to the OP.

[Deep13]

31. When a simple "Go fuck yourself" isn't enough...

:rofl:

[PatrynXX]

32. roflmao.. Go fuck yourself!!

very..

Unlike fellow comedians , Jon Stewart (and say George Carlin) are in the High Brow comedy area. Speaks more to those with a brain.

Not like Low Brow comedy (although Carlin also did that) waiting for a fart or someone else to smash a watermelon and laugh (ewe)

or movies like Shallow Hal or Orange County


The Aristocrats is more for high brow above the belt humor.


Bernie might be too dumb to understand high brow humor. Sometimes his brain wakes up, but usually his brains dead.....

[indimuse]

33. LOL! KNR! n/t

37. I can't get enough of this one! This needs to be nominated for some

comedy award.

[ccharles000]

38. lol

[gleaner]

39. I saw part of this on MSNBC ....

then went to the web site and watched it again. It is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. It skewered Faux News, the Unnews channel unmercifully. I love it. They should have known better than to mess with Stewart. When Tucker Carlson was on CNN I saw Stewart destroy him on a talking point in under three minutes without even changing his own affect from "friendly guy."

Stewart is one of the best commentators we have. The fact that he uses satire to convey his thoughts does not detract from that. Too bad he can't get an all anchorman or anchorwoman chorus to back him up and do another performance just for Faux.
