"Stewart is a man “bravely battling pomposity and misinformation,”
I think not! That was enough for me, right there.

Yes, Stewart is a flaming liberal that puts even Dan Rather to shame. His show is still pretty funny, it's about the only television show I routinely watch. I can't stand it though when he "interviews" some liberal guest and they just bash conservatives for five minutes.

I have never heard of IT or IT's show.

His “bravery” and much-vaunted grasp of political nuance consists mostly of his embrace of every reflexive assumption shared by every litmus-tested liberal holding forth at every chic Manhattan dinner party.

True, but at least he does have conservative guests on once in a while and is polite when they speak.
To: miliantnutcase
I have all but stopped watching news discussion shows because I only wan to hear one person speak at a time. on H&C, oftem 4 peple are talking at one time, each trying to out-talk the other. No thanks, I get enough of that at my dinner table.

I got a kick a few months ago reading about Stewart's crying hissy fit he threw when he arrive to what was supposed to be a Kerry victory party.
They should show that on the Daily show.

"I got a kick a few months ago reading about Stewart's crying hissy fit he threw when he arrive to what was supposed to be a Kerry victory party. "They should show that on the Daily show." Yeah! I don't often do "pay-per-view" but I'd darned sure pay to see that.

It was a funny show, but after the election I had to stop watching it. Stewart was in such a state of shock that Americans could be so stupid as to not vote for his choice; the bitterness became too much. Their studio audience annoys the hell out of me, too. Plus Comedy Central cancelled Colin Quinn's show, which I loved. Even though he wasn't consistently funny, his show often gave a different and more honest perspective. At least there's still South Park, which is an "equal opportunity" offender.

Stewart is a modern liberal who found a mask most people will buy into. It's marketing the same old message and bashing the guys who didbn;t makret it as well before him.
Whatever.

Though much of what Stewart and his cronies say about the press is acidly contemptuous, even this plays to the bottomless narcissism of many journalists: if nothing else, Stewart reassures them that they remain at the center of the world.Nailed it.
To: billorites
The guy b-slapped Tucker Carlson. It's not as if it was anything out of the realm of possibility. Stewart is just the latest overrated blowhard to fill in for Bill Maher.

Me too. I don't watch any of the shout-o-matches on TV. Stewart is a big commie and I wouldn't waste five minutes on him.

Way too long to read.
The Daily Show is Funny. That's why Stewart is popular.
(The same reason Stan and Kyle are popular)
