What's really appalling is the the Jon Stewart audience believes Stewart is delivering the news.

Of course, Stewart doesn't see any political bias at NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, the NT Times, Washington Post, LA Times or any of the leftist propaganda arms or the failing demoscat party.

Not even when a group of so called "journalists" got caught on-line, JournoList, discussing how to slant the news and make outlandish allegations against republicans....just call them racists!

Nope, no political bias in the MSM.

But then, Jon Stewart is hardly one whose opinion of Fox News should be taken seriously.

Stewart and other leftists are just enraged that Fox News is kicking the as$es of the leftist slanted MSM over whom leftists drool.

Most Trusted News source...Fox News!

Most Trusted News talk host...Bill O'Reilly...Fox News!

That's a retarded statement. People don't watch The Daily Show for the news. They watch to be entertained. They just happen to be more knowledgeable on the news than regular Fox watchers, which is strange considering Fox watchers ought to be getting the news.

I don't think Jon Stewart said there was a complete lack of bias from non-Fox-News-sources. I didn't watch the video or anything, but I can probably rest assured that you didn't either.

No one could possibly be upset with Fox News over its popularity. The only upset can be that people actually watch that nonsense with some misguided belief that there's quality in the product.

Stewart is brain dead of course. That's the perfect reason no one should pay a seconds attention to what he says about political issues...or much of anything else.

posted June 20, 2011 09:47 PM            

He has never said that. In fact he proves a different take entirely in the interview.

In fact he offers that if the MSM were not to be found [so] wanting, people would not be listening to him.

He is a comedienne first, offering opinions.

Says so himself.
view the tape.....

One of my favorite quotes:

"being a comedienne is harder than what you do".

and~ that the interviewer offers Foxxy credibility...he offsets Hannity and the like.

But the point is FOXXY viewers are less informed, every poll shows that. Consistently.

Stewart's display of knowledge is somewhat less than a nano-meter deep. Very shallow indeed.

*Ill* informed might be a better way to put it. But in every audience poll of news-worthy events that has proved true.

Your defense of a MSM channel by deriding the intelligence of a comedienne is hilarious, and entertaining.

Wallace asked Stewart about the leftist bias at the NY Times...Stewart denied it existed and attempted to write it off as something else. So much for the political astuteness of Jon Stewart.

Wallace asked Stewart about his own leftist bias and got a bullshiiiit answer from Stewart who said he is first, a comedian. Apparently Stewart thinks his leftist bias doesn't creep into his comedy routines but that's bullshiiit too.

What is true is that Jon Stewart plays to his leftist audience who are typically know nothings. Stewart's comedy routines wouldn't go over at all with a political mainstream audience. Nor, would any political mainstream audience believe for a second they're getting "news" from Jon Stewart.

Jon Stewart gets out-Foxed

David Cohen

It was rather surreal to see Stewart, whose bread and butter is ridiculing people by showing edited clips out of context, take umbrage at the use of his own clip (which was not taken out of context, by the way).

Stewart resorted to the type of transparent diversionary tactics that one trots out when one is losing an argument. “You can’t understand, because of the world you live in, that there is not a designed ideological agenda on my part to effect partisan change, because that’s the soup you swim in,” Stewart lectured Wallace. “It reminds me of, you know, in ideological regimes, they can’t understand that there is free media [in] other places because they receive marching orders.”

It was silly of Stewart to suggest that Wallace, whose professionalism Stewart himself had rightly praised several times during the interview, was so blinded by partisanship that he would be incapable of understanding Jon Stewart. You’re not the complex enigma that you think you are, Jon. Stewart’s analogy to the subjects of “ideological regimes,” which conjures images of indoctrinated North Korean peasants, was equally silly when applied to Wallace.

Stewart’s condescension was a pose of superiority typically used to mask feelings of inferiority. Stewart is usually a confident guy, but he was clearly losing confidence in his stubborn defense of the mainstream media. That’s why Stewart resorted to the “you can’t understand” tactic from junior high school: Since Wallace was incapable of understanding Stewart (yeah, right), Stewart was absolved of his responsibility to defend his statements with logic.

Stewart is good at making funny faces, which comes in handy when your arguments can’t pass the straight-face test. Stewart was angered by Wallace’s suggestion that Stewart was a political activist. Then what was that big rally about the weekend before the election, Jon — the one where liberal activists were bused in by the thousands?

By the end of the interview, Stewart finally admitted that the mainstream media “probably” had a liberal bias. However, he still clung to the notion that Fox News was worse than the others because, according to Stewart, the other outlets were not consciously pursuing ideological activism. Stewart apparently doesn’t read The Daily Caller, and hence has never heard of the Journolist.

But even if Stewart were right, so what? In the 2008 election, John McCain received about twice as much negative coverage as Barack Obama. Does it really matter whether this gross disparity was the result of conscious liberal activism rather than the media’s complete obliviousness to its own bias?

The premise is laughable...given Stewart's entertainer status and given that Stewart's audience are leftist leaning lemmings marching in lockstep off a cliff.

Fox News delivers hard news on it's "news" shows. Opinion shows are hosted by personalities, some of whom are not journalists...and make no claim they are. Those shows generally have guests...on both sides of issues being discussed.

Fox News viewers are treated to a wide range of opinions on subjects under discussion...which generally are topics in the news of the day.

Yesterday I pointed out that Fox News Washington managing editor Bill Sammon’s leaked emails, which showed him urging the network to slant its coverage, showed that Jon Stewart was right when he went on the network over the weekend and accused it of taking ideological “marching orders.”

Now it turns out that Stewart made the same point — during his Fox News Sunday interview, he also cited the Sammon emails as proof of this. But Fox News viewers never got to hear him discuss the emails.

That’s because, as Eric Hananoki points out, that part of the exchange was conveniently left on the cutting room floor.

This is what Fox News Sunday viewers heard from Stewart:

STEWART: You can’t understand because of the world you live in that there is not a designed ideological agenda on my part to affect partisan change because that’s the soup you swim in. I appreciate that. I understand that. It reminds me of, you know — you know, ideological regimes. They can’t understand that there is free media other places. Because they receive marching orders.

This is what Stewart actually said in the unedited interview that appeared online:

STEWART: You can’t understand because of the world you live in that there is not a designed ideological agenda on my part to affect partisan change because that’s the soup you swim in. And I appreciate that. And I understand that. It reminds me of, you know -- you know, in ideological regimes, they can’t understand that there is free media other places. Because they receive marching orders. And if you want me to go through Bill Sammon’s emails and --

Networks often edit interviews for length, and not everything in them necessarily makes it on the air. But it seems a bit too convenient that Fox News edited out a key part of Stewart’s argument: That one of Fox News’ own executives has been caught deliberately trying to slant coverage on the network to reflect conservative talking points and priorities, even to the point of saying things he knew to be untrue.

Still, if Fox did deliberately excise that portion of the interview, you have to wonder who they think they’re fooling. Fox News’ slanted coverage is part of their success story. It’s why conservatives love the network. Do they really think anyone still buys the idea that they’re “fair and balanced?”

The polls that Politifact used seemed to point out which viewers were uninformed vs. which were misinformed. Those polls used questions such as "who is the current England Prime Minister?" and "which party has more members in the house of representatives?" That so-called lefties can be just as uninformed as fox viewers regarding these questions isn't all that surprising. The polls I thought that Stewart was referring to were those that showed that Fox viewers believed Saddam had WMD and believe global warming is a hoax. I read about Fox's managing editor telling their staff to downplay news on climate change, with later polls showing -surprise!- that Fox viewers don't believe in it. On questions such as "who was the 17th president of the U.S.?" Fox viewers may very well kick ass. But they may still think we found WMD in Iraq and that Obama was born in Kenya.
