Really? You honestly believe someone...anyone one TV? Somebody that gets paid to spew whatever message they think will make the most money for the network? Friggin AL Jazeerea has better news then either Fox or Comedy Central.....

Well, TDS really isn't the news, but a deconstruction of the media who push the news. Stewart is one of the reasons why I barely, if ever, watch TV news anymore.

Hulu - The Daily Show with Jon Stewart: Tue, May 1, 2012 - Watch the full episode now. (http://www.hulu.com/watch/356750/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-tue-may-1-2012 - broken link)
Thanks for sharing. Stewart's right - the GOP is pissed that this President is using a tactic perfected by the previous President. And the pitiful whining from the right is just icing on the cake.

I'm not surprised that you watch TV for your beliefs. How about you try "analysis" and "investigation" as we expect of journalists?

But, you have it right, Al Jazeera does put the US "news" networks to shame, but not any more than comedy shows like one hosted by Jon Stewart and by Stephen Colbert.

It was hard to do but I watched all of the Jon Stewart crap that pertained to this thread and kept wondering when he would play the little snippet of one of Obama's staunchest supporters, up to now, making her despicable comment about this thing. Yep, the founder of HuffPo sure did say just that about this ad and Stewart could have showed her talking since her thing is a day or two older than his.

Didn't I catch Stewart playing the same game with Bush telling what he would have done just as Obama and Clinton said what Romney "would have" done? I guess he doesn't really have that part of his brain working very good these days.

Stewart tried to make fun of my favorite newsman, Brit Hume, and I saw Hume taking them to the wood pile since he spoke of truth and Stewart and Obama failed to do so.

I didn't know there were rules among the lefties that say we can't say what we think or feel. Maybe you need to get a list of those topics that don't allow that.

I would love to see, your hero, Brit Hume either invite Jon Stewart or show up on The Daily Show. He will get skewered.

Agreed, Al Jazeerea does.
