I guess we can end our convo here....I feel that Fox News is a silly organization, along with all these other extreme cable news channels that find themselves having talking heads talk over each other by offering bullet points debate. I'm sorry but that's fucking silly, as silly as Ace Ventura and Yo Gabba Gabba. And btw, you can easily look up plenty of Jon Stewart videos that make fun of MSNBC, CNN, Democrats, etc. It's not his fault that the popular ones that become viral happen to be the ones where he makes fun of Fox News or Glenn Beck.
Quote from: Javier on August 26, 2010, 10:36:05 AMJon Stewart can defend his liberal opinions, so it's not like he just randomly pulls out the I'm a comedian card. He does it because people bust his balls for not reporting the news. Sure he can defend them.....but when he only sees things, talks about things, and defends things from a liberal POV, he loses credibility in my book (not all liberals are right all the time, you know)....hence my comparison of him to Fox News people (who do the EXACT same thing but from the other side of the spectrum). These things I just mentioned are why people bust his balls. He comes off as Hannity's liberal twin brother with jokes mixed in.

Its on god damn comedy central for fucks sake. Fox news presents its extreme "conservative" propaganda as legitimate news/fact.
Jon stewart is the best thing on tv. Finally someone intelligent and funny that can put these dumb fucks in their place. Republicans have taken this country down the hole.

Republicans have taken this country down the hole. Youre right, Republicans have hurt this country. Big government is behind that though. Old school Republicans, or conservatives, were against big government. Now we have two parties with one agenda, expand the federal sector with the goal of making their influence/power bigger than the next guy's. And Democrats do it just as bad as Republicans. Look at California for gods sake, we're a Democrat stronghold. We can't even afford to pay teachers, firefighters, and police...we actually have to choose in most cases which we want for our communities. And in my opinion, its (partly) because of entitlements and other "well meaning" programs which just drain this state instead of help it.
if your looking to comedy central for your news and political info your a fuck bag.close thread.
theres nothing wrong with it per say...but would you go to cnn for cartoons?would you go to nickelodeon for the weather? its news presented on a comedic platform.personally i dig that show but do not depend on it to feed me news and current events...
i think in the eyes of most posters here it would make perfect sense.you dont walk into your local supermarket looking to pick up a pair of jays...you might get some bo bo's or a pair of flip flops but not j's just like you dont go into footlocker looking for a pack of franks... and if they sold meat and produce at footlocker would you want to eat it?? what im saying is your comparison is a stretch.I seriously doubt that ppl are watching jon stewart to become knowledgeable about world affairs.im not going to debate semantics about what constitutes real news and where its from...i agree that all these american based networks are full of shit.elena heiress (i think thats her name) is a baaaaaad bitch.
