Jon Stewart’s Secret Obama Meetings Reveal He’s a Partisan Hack
New York Post ^ | July 29, 2015 | Kyle Smith

Jon Stewart — the man who loves to be called a nonpartisan, a scourge of cant, an honest soul who follows the truth wherever it leads — has been secretly taking trips to the White House to receive intense one-on-one lobbying from President Obama.

Moreover, Politico reported Tuesday, “Daily Show” staffers routinely call up the White House to get the administration’s input.

Austan Goolsbee, a former top economic adviser to the president, frequently e-mailed with his college classmate Scott Bodow, a “Daily Show” executive producer, to offer spin. Obama flunky David Axelrod often reached out directly to Stewart.

You mean he didn’t go to speak to truth to power? That was the left’s mantra for all of Bush 43’s two administrations.

First of all, every kudos for Jon Stewart’s hard work. And I mean a lot of hard work - every successful entertainment host puts in tremendous amounts of effort each and every day. And the results of that hard work is access to the White House.

Congrats to him on that; but ‘secret marching orders’ from Obama? I mean, really... OBAMA? There has never been a more lazy man in the White House. Some of his staff might be giving orders, but Obama couldn’t be bothered to lift his finger, much less formulate any secret plan to GIVE secret orders.

If you’re looking for a ‘free’ bottle of wine at the taxpayer’s expense? A nice vacation to a far off land? Luxury penthouse living? Obama’s your man. Brilliant political strategy? Hahahahahahahhahahaha

I think Goebbels would be impressed with the modern masters of propaganda.

They play it very well. Always the drumbeat, a bit here and a bit there.

One Thanksgiving (or so) many years ago, Martha Stewart was having a Thanksgiving food show so I thought, well, let’s see how other folks prepare some dishes.

Her “guest” was none other than KO who went into PDS mode not long after he hit the stage. She just let him go on and on.

I think the FSB/KGB/Pravda are no doubt jealous of their tactics.

What’s instructive here is that Jon Stewart attempted to keep this secret. These people still attempt to maintain the aura of being independent thinkers when they’re nothing but court jesters to the king.

This revelation makes him small, deceitful, and not worthy of any relevance in the conversation. This is what Stewart was trying to avoid in concealing the visits with Obama.

One more reason young people should feel duped, and given Stewart’s influence and popularity, this is no small thing IMHO.

Stewart is not a court jester. He is the primary news source for millions of Americans, especially those under 35. His work as a propogandist for the left is harmful and effective. If it is true that david axel rod called Stewart personally to discuss strategy, that tells you how valuable the administration thinks Stewart is/was.

There needs to be an equivalent on the right, or 2016 may be last chance a republican has of winning a presidential election for the next 20 years.

Can't figure this out. Translation?

("Palin Derangement Syndrome" might be the second bit of code. But what's "KO," if that's the case?)

I guess we now know why Obama’s domestic a foreign policies are a joke.
