That's the one show I mentioned before. He's right on all accounts the media does a crappy job of getting these people to tell the truth, they spend more time sucking up then they do anything else.

i'm socially liberal, but pretty fiscal conservative. So I often disagree with Jon Stewart


Yet no one has pulled back the curtains on the absurdity of both media and politics as well as Jon Stewart. I've learned more from that show than CNN + MSBNC + FOX + NPR combined.

I did attend two daily shows under jon stewart (and one Colbert report) and it was such a huge contrast. If you asked jon steart a serious news question - you got a awesome, interesting, and deliberate answer. This was his passion, it was his interest.


Colbert actually said to one serious question "yeah, thats for stewart. . ." i.e. I only play a guy on tv who cares about politics.


Both Stewart and Colbert will be missed. . .but Stewart will be missed far more, because I doubt his successor will be as good at finding the absurdity in all media and politics. . .

Too bad John Oliver moved to HBO, he would of been the best choice.


and I bet Stewart is looking at being a director, would be my guess.

That's cause you didn't make it controversial enough. All you had to do was mention an anti-liberal or anti-conservative slant and it would have stayed.

This is funny.

Hope you don't own Viacom stock.


Jon Stewart just punched a $350 million hole in Viacom



I expected that he would leave soon after his extended leave.
He's been doing this a long time.

Maybe you should check which party Ventura belonged to. Or don't, I don't care.
