This
is the appearance we’ve been waiting for – Comedy Central host Jon
Stewart making an appearance on a Sunday morning national public
affairs program, especially one on a network he so often ridicules.
On Sunday’s “Fox News Sunday,” with host Chris Wallace, “The Daily
Show” host explained why he thinks Fox News is different from other
news organizations which are criticized by some for being “as liberal
as Fox News is conservative.”
WALLACE: [Y]ou love to take shots at Fox News.
STEWART: Yes I do.
WALLACE: Over the years, you have called us –and
we’re going to put
this on the screen because this is heavy stuff: ‘A biased organization,
relentlessly promoting an ideological agenda under the rubric of being
a news organization.’
STEWART: Rubric?
WALLACE: And I think that was slightly the wrong use
of the word –
‘a relentless agenda-driven, 24-hour news propaganda delivery system.’
Where do you come up with this stuff?
STEWART: It’s easy when you feel it. You have to
feel it in your soul.
WALLACE: Well, here is the deal – are you willing to
say the same
thing about the mainstream media, ABC, CBS, NBC, Washington Post, New
York Times?
STEWART: No.
WALLACE: Would you say the same thing about them
that they are, in
your words, a ‘propaganda-delivery system relentlessly pushing a
liberal agenda’?
STEWART: No, I wouldn’t say that.
WALLACE: Why not?
STEWART: MSNBC is attempting that. I think they’re
attempting —
they have looked at your business model and they have seen the success
of it and I think they’re attempting to be a more activist organization.
WALLACE: You don’t think The New York Times is a
liberal organization now pushing a liberal agenda?
STEWART: The New York Times – no. I think they are
to a certain
extent. Do I think they’re relentlessly activist? No. In a purely
liberal partisan way? No, I don’t. I think this is — Fox is a very
special.

Jon Stewart is
the go-to news source for Obama's yuppie base. I guess it's a
good thing that he be be exposed to adults once in awhile. Can't
hurt. There's nothing I can possibly add to that
transcript. Stewart, rest assured, and like Rachel Maddow, is honest in his conviction
that he's right, and making sense. There is this though, "Why
Jon Stewart Is All the Rage" if you've never read it.

John Stewart has a high opinion of himself. Unfortunately, it isn't based on facts.
ReplyDeleteDancing around on the head of a pin, there, John....
ReplyDeleteA typical example of how hard it is to know ones self let alone reality.
ReplyDeleteI'm always uneasy about my perception of what is real and what is not, but Democrats for the most part have no doubts. They are right and everybody else is wrong. When they had them, homes for the mentally ill were full of people who thought that. I knew a guy from the East Texas Piney woods who said that back in his little home town, he knew people whose idea of weekend entertainment was to put on old clothes and hunt skunks with butcher knives, he said he'd feel more contempt except that he was related to them and that made him uneasy about his own world view.
Excuse me I've got to put on some old clothes, sharpen my knife and go hunt some tort lawyers.
OFF TOPIC, I was cruising the archives last month when my HD failed & took my desktop & Firefox prefs with it, since getting back up, I cannot get to the archives at all, what happened, & how do I get back to where I was. (I started at first post & got up to Jan 2010, when BLAMMO)....
ReplyDeleteGotta start over.....
As far as Jon Stewart, I stopped watching him about the time I stopped watching Letterman, & most other crap, couldn't stand the total bias.
ReplyDeleteTotal self hating, US hating hypocrites.
