You must have a reading comprehension problem. Did I say I listenned to "those Republicans"?

I said I must have missed the DEM solutions. Do you have access to them?
How about sharing?

It's a shame that the public has to look towards Jon Stewart and Comedy Central for journalistic integrity. He points things out about both sides if they do something stupid. My opinion of Fox News is that it ANGERS me that this is put on the air. I really really want an informed public making decisions as critical as public policy and choosing our elected officials. What Fox News does and the outright lies they put out there and distort things (such as this case) is just sad. People listen to this and are swayed. I'm sure some will argue that I'm wrong. In my mind, this is not a left vs. right, democrat vs republican thing...this is facts vs fiction and unfortunately fox news falls into the fiction too often with people like Jon Stewart ready to knock them down a peg.

Wow.

Not only am I soon-to-be college graduate (until tomorrow), but I have a job (and another one lined up) and am not "sucking on bongs".

Just defied your logic. Now deal with it.

So if I said it was a Hispanic, Asian , Indian, Arab or something else would have somehow excused or made this clear racism better?...and the fact that you jumped over the part of him disapproving of mixed relationships and Obama being a product of a mixed relationship is "telling on your part"..

so what if I assume it was a white women?...do I have a reason to assume it would not be white women?..that he would be into every other woman and not the white ones?..wouldn't that be kinda racist?

He considers other races good enough to "sleep" with but not good enough to "date"....whether it be white, Asian , Hispanics or whatever...but the fact that you jumped over that and somehow tried to spin it by saying "why are you assuming its white women".when he clearly means anyone outside his own race...is again "telling on your part"...

But I bet you somehow feel good about yourself that you got me on something with your spinning, deflecting and dodging....good job...

The problem is, O'Reilly hides (or is ignorant of) the fact that Common does not believe she's a cop killer.

He is funny and really too bad that he doesn't like to call out the hypocrites of the left. Kind of like so many in this forum.

Stewart is just the talking head folks. An actor with scripts.

'His' comedy comes from writers and he rehearses while watching himself on a screen. Now 'who' else does that?

His humor leads the masses.

Because they are so easily led.

According to Pew Research, those that watch the Daily Show are typically more knowledgable than those that watch Fox News.

Public Knowledge of Current Affairs Little Changed by News and Information Revolutions | Pew Research Center for the People and the Press

The Daily Show had the highest percentage of people who had a high knowledge level (54%). This beat out Hannity, O'Reilly, and Fox News.

In general, people who watch Fox News and its programs are less likely to be knowledgeable than somebody watching that "comedian" Jon Stewart.
