Default The Daily Show Does it Again

Isn't it funny how a comedic "news" opinion segment contains more truth and fact then anything that will be seen on "real" news? Watch this guy on crossfire. He lights both parties up because they are both "FOLLOWERS OF CORPORATIONS AND LIARS."

THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.

Crossfire Segments 1 and 2

After you're done watching those, watch his news broadcasts.

Try and argue against the first newcast all you neocons. You can't (without looking completely ridiculous). He kicks the crap out of you. And if you want to try, I'll come back and rebuttel you so fast your fingers will be paralyzed. Cuz the best you'll be able to come up with is "the Dems aren't any better", in which case you haven't defended yourself, you have only accused someone else. But I guess murder is ok if everyone else does it.

Default good job light

but be warned, JP5 (or his pals) will merge this or move it.

they wont bother watching the videos but the videos go into "the GOP Blame game" Blaming eachother for not doing anything and then Hannity saying Studds wasn't long ago and that this is Clinton's fault - sound familiar?

also, Hannity saying Monica was 19 - she was 22 and Fox "news" saying Foley is a dmocrat.

About the most ludicrous of concepts I've read. If this is what the next generation views as a news source we as a nation are in deep trouble. It's about as ludicrous as putting this thread in "Latest World News" instead of "Humor and Satire."

Intellectually lazy seems to be a hallmark these days.

The Commie moderator strike again. I cannot call moderates stupid, but my political opponents (Commies) can accuse me of being in the KKK, a white supremacist, or Nazi. Ah the Commie double standard, how quaint.

Default let me ask

what are your definitions of satire and humor? the debates of the political parties in this country are both "humor" and "satire" in regards to the fact that neither should be taken seriously as bearing any resemblance to reality. Indeed, they are true "theater", as Stewart has so eloquently stated. The Daily Show is no less satire and humor then Ovid's Metamorphosis. Stewart is more brilliant then any Ceaser or corrupt Senator that either of you shall ever worship and adore in your fradulant attempt at intellectualism through the verbose use of quantitatively nonsensical wordage of "partisan hackery." The move of this post to a humor section is quite ironic as the definitions of the powers at be, and the world at large, are nothing more than lunacies of inconsistency.

I don't know what the next generation thinks but I do not turn to comedy shows for news. I turn to it for laughs. What is sad is that even though these shows are for comedy, they seem to hit the nail on the head while the standard news networks drool and masturbate over the latest hollywood scandal. If anything is to blame it is not the generation but the news networks which choose to either ignore, convolute, or minimize the real issues. They all try to 'present' 'fair and balanced' views but their idea of 'fair and balanced' is two hacks that parrot talking points back and forth without really addressing the issue. I would gladly give up a fair and balanced report if it meant that I would here an actual intelligent analysis of an issue that went deeper than the crap that is broadcast on TV nowadays. If you have a deep understanding of an issue it would be impossible not be biased about it especially if the issue is important. I do not expect reporters to have no opinion like they do nowadays because it ever has an opinion. I do however expect them to have the nuts to show their opinions and back them up with some kind of substance. What happened to the days when an obviously biased reporter would challenge an issue and would actually get a response? Those days are long gone, and if comedy news channels have in fact become more popular, maybe it's not because the new generation is becoming stupid. Maybe, it is because they've been told by the previous generation what real TV reporting used to be like and just want a reporter that can challenge what he sees as wrong and not be so worried about being unbiased. The sad thing is that John Stewart is the only person on TV who does that.

Default John Stewart ain't no Ben Franklin

Sorry kid,but if you think Stewart has no agenda you need to think again!

His outrage was meant to get a reaction from you and to make money for himself,it's the oldest story in the book.

Looks like he suceeded.
