Too bad most of his fans doesn't really take his advice.

In the process of watching, just want to say that I'm glad Jon did this. I notice how he's calling for debate as opposed to the typical one sided bickering. Much like how Rand is calling for an actual debate in the senate on war spending and other spending. Too bad debate doesn't bring in the same ratings as demagoguery.

Finished watching, and I'm a little disappointed in both people. Jon definitely deflected the importance of his show in the national discussion, and the responsibility that comes with it. While he can (and should) make fun of people and events in the country, he also needs to make sure he is not contributing to a false narrative. I think he's done a pretty good job with that, but he needs to realize that's what he's supposed to be doing.

Rachel on the other hand, refused to acknowledge the fact that even though her show is not as bad, the rest of her network is garbage and actually detrimental to the level of discourse in the country. In that sense, MSNBC is just like Fox News.

On the positive side, Jon really did put MSNBC in its place, it really has become Fox News for democrats.

That it has. The additions of Maddow, Shultz, and O'Donnell sealed that deal.

I disagree. MSNBC is too low to even compare it to Fox. Is there someone as awful at Olbermann at Fox? I don't think so.

I'm talking about that one is extremely left, the other is extremely right, and for the most part their side can do no wrong. I do agree MSNBC's crew is actually way further off their rocker's than the guys at FOX. There is far more civility at FOX news than there is at MSNBC.

O'Reilly is the worst at Fox, but he isn't even close to being as bad as Olbermann.

Show me a clip analogous to the one below by O'Really:

YouTube - Attention-craving Olbermann calls Scott Brown a homophobic teabagging racist who is violent to women (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlpF7wG8vI0)

"In Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees."

Olbermann and O'Reilly are equally as bad, as is Schultz and Hannity, although I think O'Donnell is a new level of scary partisanship, he scares the crap out of me.

It seems like this O'Donnell guy takes himself seriously, intellectually. That's not a vibe I get from Schultz or Hannity.

It depends on who's in power and who's cheering vs. who's reporting on government. During the bush years when Fox was the cheerleaders, they were horrible, and Olbermann wasn't that bad. But now, it's just the opposite.

However, between hannity, Bill 'O' and Olbermann, I'd rather shove pencils in my ears than watch 5 mins of any of them. I stopped watching MSM 3 years ago and I will never go back.

Three years ago for me as well. People who watch/listen to any of these "reporters" are thought controlled wither they admit to it or not.

TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, books and many websites on the Internet tell people what is the important topic to think about, what to think about that topic, and who to vote for.

Mind control is real and the media is in control.

The interview didn't really capture my interest. Imo it had the appearance of an intellectual debate w/o intelligence. Maybe I am biased though because I find both of them pretty annoying, especially Rachael Maddow.

Well, Maddow was very butthurt over the fact that Jon made fun of her, and couldn't drop the issue. I think Jon's points were very good though. All the news channels can do is be sensational and play up the political and personal aspects of the news. Instead of figuring out who's right, they talk about who said the best lie and who looked the best when saying it.

Jon Stewart is someone worth talking with and trying to persuade. He seems rational and truly interested in ideas and just hasnt been exposed to the right ones. He always treated Dr. Paul with respect and perhaps if Ron runs in 2012 he will really understand what liberty is all about (perhaps i am overly optimistic.)

I agree, go to about 6:20...

Really? I'd beg to differ. Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity are insane. I try to avoid any of the prime-time "opinion" shows on both channels.

Yep. The movie "Network" had it right.

I have to laugh in general about a serious discussion about major TV network news media outlets. I'd like to hear for once how the content is disapproved or approved by the network and how that chain of command actually works....

I would tend to bet that the bottom line is making advertisers happy with spending money to reach customers with what they want to "pimp"...PERIOD. Whatever it takes to make this money roll in.....if a network wants to be NASCAR oriented to get more revenue then so be it. At the end of the day it is about ENTERTAINMENT value (unless people really believe the US public does tune in to "learn" or try to find out what is happening.

How many hear about the federal reserve scam? (one of the most important issues of any out there) and what major outlets are making that heard? Dylan Ratigan? Beck? the Judge?

all outlets will surely cover Lindsay Lohan in court or a fat Playmate dying of pills. Sensationalism....voyeurism....sleaze. the MTV generation.

the internet is the future. TV is dino-media....thank god.
