Fox’s Kurtz and Guest Go After ‘Propagandist’ Jon Stewart over ‘Secret’ WH Meetings

After Jon Stewart went after Fox News media reporter Howard Kurtz for blowing up the story about the comedian’s “secretive” visits with President Barack Obama, the Fox Newser responded Sunday on his show, with the help of an even more indignant guest.

Baltimore Sun TV critic and frequent Fox MediaBuzz guest David Zurawik came out swinging, telling Kurtz that “Since President Obama came in, [Stewart]’s become more and more and more a tool, really, of the Obama administration.”

And he wasn’t done there. “Look, I don’t care if you’re an actor, a writer, a poet, songwriter, if you serve a politician’s ideological agenda, you are a propagandist. And that’s what he’s doing here.”

Zurawik and Kurtz both hit Stewart for “immediately mak[ing] this into him against Fox” when The New York Times and other non-conservative-leaning outlets also gave much negative attention to reports of Obama-Stewart meetings.

“He knows now he doesn’t have an intellectually satisfying argument,” the Sun critic said, “so he wins it with many of his viewers just on the shape of [me versus Fox].” He later added: “‘Shifty’ is probably the nicest word I could use to describe Stewart.”

That's not how I would have spelled it.

John Leibowitz is the “news” source for lefties under 35-—(and many older).

Lefties I know always tell me Leibowitz (Stewart) is “very intelligent.”

When I mention that he doesn’t know the difference between the debt and the deficit they are not happy.

It says something about Stewart’s viewers that they confuse sarcasm and snark with intelligence. And that something isn’t flattering to Stewart or his viewers. The same can be said of Bill Maher.

I have never seen the Daily Show. I expect to continue my winning streak after Leibowitz is gone.

He tells pre and young teen humor mixed with quasi politics and world events very well. The left loves Juvenile humor because they really can’t understand anything more sophisticated.

It is a crying shame and a sad way to go through life.

No need to put propagandist in quotes. Even he knows that’s what he is.

So the only difference between Leibowitz (aka Stewart) is that he got his marching orders face to face with His Arrogance whereas the less MSM whores receive theirs by email.
