Im dissapointed in Jon Stewart. Digg Frontpage Cody Willard defends himself

[Dripping Rain]

i like stewart. but his attack on Cody Willard and his falsifying of evidence disgusted me. please jon stewart be man enough ad apoligize and fire your lying producers
YouTube - "Desperate Left" Daily Show's Jon Stewart lies about Fox News with a deceitful edit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_i3MgfRNqc)
this is the first time Jon Stewart does this shit. because i know stewart isnt a partisan hack me thinks his producers are to blame but he needs to come clean on this ASAP.

[Zera]

That was a low blow for Stewart, because he's usually the ones who calls out others for doing this. Oh well, I think we're one of the few on this board that like him. Most people here just see him as a liberal hack or something.

stewart really needs to come clean on this or else ill quit watching his show

I've never understood how anyone could think that Stewart was anything but an establishment shill.

No offense to any of his admirers, I've just never been able to take more than two or three minutes of his schtick.

Bring back Kilborn!

Did you watch the whole clip?

It's actually a good show attacking the MSM, but I like Cody and I don't think his attack was justified.

But it's just that a lot of people on the left who saw Bush as a fascist don't seem to see Obama that way yet. They don't understand that there are a lot of conservatives who are pissed off at the Republican establishment either.

Olberman and what's her face Gerapalo or whatever were attacking the tea party goers by showing an attendee who logically attacked the Bush administration and there were a bunch of boos in the background.. but what they failed to see was that a lot of people were cheering and there are a lot of conservatives who are unhappy with the Republican establishment and they did not discuss that at all.


Stewart is not a "schill", he's just a social libertarian/left leaning comedian with liberal writers.

Indeed. Kilborn was much funnier. I get a lot of consolation knowing how much Stewart wanted to be a movie star or get a network offer, and yet - there he still sits.

[dannno]

How the hell is Kilborn funnier?? I've never heard him say anything funny. I thought it was the lamest show on the planet.. he was like a jock version of Conen O'Brien. I mean, I didn't watch it much, I just don't understand how you could possibly compare The Daily Show with Kilborn..

Was he a libertarian or something?

[angelatc]

How the hell is Kilborn funnier?? I've never heard him say anything funny.

Did you know he was the original host of TDS?

I used to laugh when he hosted TDS. Kilborn knoew he was a comedian and not a journalist. He had a lot more celebrity guests than he did political figures.

"5 questions" was hysterical.

I hate Stewart. I'd like to see him and Garafalo drive off a cliff together.

[dannno]

Did Kilborn ever make fun of the fact that the Presidential candidates are not allowed to say anything anti-Israel?

Did Kilborn ever make fun of the fact that in every other country, including Israel, the media debates the Israeli/Palestine conflict, but NOT in the United States??

Does Kilborn support the legalization of cannabis?

What is it exactly that I'm missing here?

[krazy kaju]

Stewart is a liberal hack.

Fixed.

[sluggo]

I thought Kilborn was very funny. No politics, just silliness.

Never been able to understand why Stewart is so popular.

Nah, I didn't watch "liberal" media outlets until I went to college in the year 2000, and Stewart was already doing TDS by then.

Because he talks about politics and it is mixed in with stoner comedy. It is The Daily Show.. It's supposed to be a fake news show. And it is very funny sometimes.

You can laugh at Leno's funny, quirky advertisements all night long, but Jon Stewart is the only person in the entirety of the US mainstream media to recognize the fact that the US political and media establishments do not allow dissent on the issue of Zionism.

[sluggo]

Stewart just doesn't strike me as being sincere. I appreciate his calling out of certain "taboo" subjects, but it has never really washed with me.

Kilborn absolutely talked politics. He was just less angry, and therefore funnier than whiny little Stewart.

Jay Leno sucks.

Well I've never heard Kilborn say anything about politics, so I guess I can't really make an informative opinion. All I know is I saw his show a few times around 1998 or so and it was pretty uninteresting..

[Objectivist]

Jon Stewart is a Comedian, nothing more.
I'm glad you found this tube, I posted it in another thread a couple days ago.

Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see and everything will be fine.

[dannno]

Jay Leno sucks.

Well he had Ron Paul on a couple times and was willing to listen to the guy... that is a big plus in my book, doesn't mean I'm going to watch his show tho.. In fact I don't have TV anymore, but I watch internet..

You're right. It's been a long time and my memory is a little faulty. Kilborn did talk about politics, but approached the subject from a more absurd angle.

after watching the clip I definitely lost respect for stewart. I just dont get it. One day your a satirist comedian hero blasting the MSM, the next you misquote another patriot and flame him for something that wasn't even true... there's no logic in this...my guess is stewart didnt actually watch the entire clip, his writers did and made this attack

No one should be surprised. Jon Stewart in his own words: "I'm more of a socialist."

Exactly, I'm blaming this one on the writers. The rest of the episode shows that he was blasting the MSM during the whole clip.. It is unfortunate he threw the baby out with the bath water.

Is Ron Paul a socialist for wanting to keep socialist programs around for people who are dependent on them as we transition into an honest monetary system? Hint: The answer is "yes" ;)

The reason socialism exists is because the Fed causes inflation which steals wealth from the poor and gives it to the wealthy. The natural reaction, for those who don't understand what is going on, is to redistribute some of that wealth back to the poor. Unfortunately most of it comes from the middle class instead. If the government is distributing wealth to the wealthy, then it is only logical that it should distribute some back to the poor to make things "fair". This causes untold amounts of inefficiencies in the long-run, but at least you have less people starving in the street.

That is why I and many others were socialists before we came to understand our country's banking and financial system through people like Ron Paul and G. Edward Griffin. I was less of a socialist because I knew about how great the free market was, but you cannot that there is an inherent problem with the system that is causing poor people to get poorer, and rich to get richer. People on the left blame it on capitalism and greed, when the real problem is our banking and monetary system.

But I'm not going to sit around and call socialists names or say that they are stupid. They are just ignorant of our financial system and they aren't attacking the root of the problem, they are attacking a symptom. They aren't bad people and some people on this forum need to fucking get over it.

Fortunately, like all of the corporate media's propaganda outlets, The Daily Show will become less and less relevant as the economy and country continues to fall apart.

[krazy kaju]

This. And no, Ron Paul isn't a socialist in the sense that Jon Stewart is calling himself a socialist. So sorry danno, but you get "E" for "epic fail."

[HOLLYWOOD]

Jon Stewart should get his head out of Obama A$$!

SHILL

[Conza88]

What you will now see from the Media (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=177088)

For some reason it's still necessary to post this. Wake the fuck up.

Amen. Everybody knows Stewart. Jewish liberal from New Jersey. Its tough for him to be objective.

[TastyWheat]

I'm about finished watching the Daily Show. Colbert is starting to get on my nerves a little too. I know he's more of an outrageous caricature but some people actually take him seriously. I won't waste my time on either. And after CNN's terribly biased coverage of the Tea Parties I don't know where the hell I'll get my news now. Guess it's back to local.

[Brooklyn Red Leg]

Stewart is a douchebag and this shouldnt come as a surprise. He's going to spend the next couple of years suckin down the Obama jizz cause thats what he wants. Fuck him and fuck his producers.

I think Jon Stewart actually come across as a total tool in that video, fwiw. He sounds like he's pretending to be fucking Gandhi or something and he plays the martyr card.

"Oh, poor me, I'm just running a comedy news show and I didn't know I had any responsibility to be fair or impartial. You, and I say this as saintly as possible, are fucking corporate sellouts who hurt America :("

That's the general tenor of Stewart's attitude in that clip, I think.

[BenIsForRon]

You guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill. I'm probably the biggest fan of The Daily Show on this board, I rarely miss an episode. I can tell you what their viewpoint is with this joke: under the past left:right paradigm, it was those on the left calling the president a fascist. Now you have anchors on fox news doing the same thing under a new president. It's ironic, that's all.

Yes, Jon Stewart still doesn't see clearly through the false left:right paradigm, but he's no schill. He's a good man, he's funny, and he'll come around to our viewpoint as time goes on.

[Golding]

this is the first time Jon Stewart does this shit.Truth be told, it's not the first time Stewart has been one-sided and deceitful with his clip humor.

[Vessol]

Jon Stewart is just prolefeed for the most part. Political comedy for the attention-span lacking college fratboys who make up the majority of Comedy Central's viewership. The vast majority of these "duuuudes" are liberal leaning whether they admit it or not, usually not knowing a thing about fiscal conservatism and whose political beliefs are easily swayed by who has the prettier signs.
