As do I. Fianlly, someone on TV trying to tell people how bad "reporters" are on TV. It's obvious but people don't seem to noitice.

The sad thing is that Jon Stewart is totally correct in his stance and the thing he comaplins about, like on Crossfire, is that it isn't news as much as it's entertainment. Even on Crossfire they got mad at Jon, actually doing what it is that Jon was there to complain about. And I doubt a single soul noticed this. And when Jon's visit was over, they called him a moron, etc. Typical of the show. See how correct he is!

And the more to the left you are, the more you see everything as "conservative" and when you see liberal you see "center"/unbiased. Whats your point? Your obsevation works both ways and proves nothing.

If you can't see my point, then no amount of explaining will help. I never said it didn't work both ways, but you sure hear "liberal" thrown around more than conservative, and it's usually the people squarely to the right of center who do so.

Labels are a good thing; they serve a purpose. I don't want to sit around babbling about the intricacies of my political views to every person, so it's easy to just say "a little to the left, between democrat and libertarian," and people get a decent idea of how I see things. Sure, labels can be abused, but what can't?

And I think CNN is somewhat to the left, but not ragingly liberal. Just little hints of liberal-ness here and there that I notice. I don't notice the same kinds of hints of conservatism; it always seems like they're "acting" conservative as to remain "unbiased."

They can serve a purpose, but in the current political climate, they are just thrown around as generalizations to stick someone in "Group A" and "Group B".

Well, while he's making millions you'll still be posting on ATOT.

I didn't realize that making millions was all there was in life. Thats the problem with people today, they think that money is a measure of success. I make a great salary, while it may not be millions it is enough to provide for family.

no, i'm sorry, stewart is still a moron.... perhaps a moron that makes millions. Good for him.

He's far from being a Moron. He's definately witty and well spoken.
 
He made a complete ass of himself on cnn. Obviously committed to Kerry John, i mean John Kerry into office. He took aim on the conservative and never looked back. cnn may be crap, but he just lowered himself down to that crap after that interview. As for being well spoken, he sounded like a broken record on cnn. Witty? I'll let you answer that yourself.

Cheers
 
lowered himself down to that crap? Some times you just have to lower yourself, seems like that's the only way you can win.

I disagree. People who lower themselves historically lose. Take for instance the prison scandle in Iraq. These terrorists will kill women and children and resort to below pond scum tactics. So some soldiers thought that they had that same right to do to them. Wrong. Prison for them now. You can never lower your standards down to the advesary or you become them, plain and simple. Stewart (who was never high to begin with) took himself down to their level.

I just did, I said he was well spoken and witty and you have yet to put forward a convincing argument to prove that he isn't. His appearance and comments on Crossfire were great IMO.

You obviously didn't hear a word he said. He was there to tell them that they weren't debating anything, that the show was a sham and a journalistic nightmare. John isn't a journalist, he's a comedian and he was pointing out that what "journalists" are doing in this country right now is destroying america and he's right. Real Journalism in this country is nearly gone, Crossfire, Fox News and just about every other "News" program out there isn't news anymore, it's entertainment and this change has begun to hurt america.

Agreed. There is absolutely no middle anymore. You're either a conservative or a liberal and that's it. God forbid one side actually listens to what the other has to say and maaaaaybe agrees that they could be right. People get so jaded with the overall politics of everything that they can't even make a decision on a case by case basis. I bet a lot of these folks just believe what they believe because their "side" does and so then they MUST agree with them.
 
Jon Stewart is a pretty good comedian .. but anyone who thinks that he's a journalist needs to get their heads checked. He's a comedian, nothing more.

He admits he's not a journalist, but it doesn't mean he can't speak out about the current state of journalism and make a valid point.
 
Nobody ever said Jon Stewart was a journalist, not even himself. His profession places no limits on what he can or cannot talk about, or the problems that he can or cannot recognize.

My leg hurts. But I'm not a doctor, I work with computers, I can't complain about my leg hurting.

:roll:

Still came off as a pompous ass though.

Dude, chill out. This was an interview, Crossfire is a debate show. Of course he's going to be less combative. Besides, he rips on CBS, too, so cram the left wing conspiracy crap. And how can you call him pompus? He's one of the most self-depricating journalists/celebrities/people out there.

Bah, whatever.

And -- CNN isn't liberal?

It's been my observation the more to the right you are, the more you see everything as "liberal".
