Daily Show 9/11 Truth Reference

Jon Stewart, while a liberal, still points out when the Dems do things wrong. His recent "Why I give up" bit about the 9/11 first responders bill is one bit I have in mind. He also gave Obama a bit of a serve yesterday, which I was a bit disgruntled about. I think Obama is doing very well, against steep odds.

I rather enjoy his appearances on Bill O'Reilly.
 
Jon Stewart got it right. The T-shirts for 911 truth, as much evidence packed in each t-shirt as 911 truth has. Zero. T-shirts to prove you are clueless on 911 issues. Who is dumb enough to wear one?

Truth? What a NAZI like, 1984 like name for a movement of lies and delusions.

911 truth has 9 years of failure, what do they do for an encore?

9 more.

Hmm... let me think...

I don't watch much Fox News anymore, but from what I saw, he was OK but disingenuous. Like he'd make a serious point or two, then O'Reilly would challenge something and he'd put his hands up "Hey, I'm just a comedian." That seemed like a cop out when I saw it.
 
Jon Stewart has been doing that for a while. I remember back in 2004, he went on CNNs "Crossfire" and criticized them for not really dealing substantively with the issues. When Tucker Carlson pointed out that he had the democrat nominee for the Presidency on his show and he didn't "deal substantively" either, Stewart begged off, saying his lead-in show was about puppets who make crank phone calls and he didn't have to.

But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the fact that Stewart and O'Reilly will go on each others shows and behave civilly while the only way you might see Keith Olberman, or Jeneanne Garafalo on O'reilly is if they are wearing an Al Qeada suicide vest.
 
Wait, how are we comparing a comedy show that focuses on political punditry for its laughs, to an ALLEGED Political News Show, like O'Reilly or Crossfire?

The person making such a comparison needs to think it through a little more.

SOT, I think that I was thinking of that very crossfire episode, now that you mention it.

I take your points on civility. The more hard-left like on MSNBC seem to pride themselves on their incivility to Bush, for example. Olbermann's rants come to mind.

Before this "hard lefty" here gets too annoyed, I am gonna suggest we keep politics out of this subforum. JREF has a forum dedicated to it (which I tend to stay out of).

Fair enough... but if you'd like to take a parting shot at Ann Coulter, be my guest. ;)

That's been my view.
Yes it's slanted, but I don't take it all that seriously. It's comedy. They aren't really trying to be fair and balanced.... but they tend to be more fair and balanced than the guys who have it as their motto.
 
South Park, The Onion, and Now the Daily Show...

If I were an angry young truther, I would have to throw in the towel at this point...all your favorite media has given you the bird.

TAM:)

I once had a truther try to use a clip from a The Onion show as proof for his claims. Totally unaware that the show is a fake news show and only proof that truthers will believe whatever they have to in order to fuel their delusions.

Love Jon Stewart and The Daily Show! Never miss it!
