John Stewart had his best segment ever trashing the MSM over their how some kids scooped them to find out about corruption at ACORN.
No video up yet. Here are some quotes:
"I'm sure Acorn has 'a line'...please tell me 13 Salvadorian sex slaves is 'the line'"
"The bad news, Acorn appears to be a corrupt organization that aides and abets criminals, and gets millions of dollars in taxpayer money, the good news is, it seems to be very well run"
"Which intrepid journalist broke this story, 60 minutes, AP?" "Where were the real reporters on this story. You know what, Investigative Media, WHERE THE H--- WERE YOU?"
"They did it for $3000. That's Blitzer's monthly beard wet-vac budget."
"I'm a fake journalist, and I'm embarrassed these guys scooped me.....Let's get to work people"
"Of course Fox is loving this"
“Of course Fox is loving this”
I finally agree with that ahole.
Hmmm....still can’t stomach Jon Stewart.
Blatant corruption eventually comes to the surface and even
the MSM is coming to grips with that fact. The MSM is
grasping at straws to salvage any credibility they may have
left.

Yes I am surprised and also happy to hear this. He might have his dbag moments, but this is good to hear from him.
Dennis Miller started off life in the far left lane, too - and so did I. Many of us wake up, sometimes slowly, sometimes in one morning watching two skyscrapers fall to the ground. In any case, good for Jon Stewart. Of course he’s embarressed - this is the kind of story that used to be the bread-and-butter of journalism from the days of Nellie Bly and Jacob Reiss. The good news is that while the mainstream media dies, others are taking up the slack. God bless America.
Yeah...he at least sees the writing on the wall...the MSM is going DOWN!!!
I think James said he did it for $1300. but anyhoot..
Bernie Goldberg made a compelling plea the other night that we should not call “them” the MSM because there is nothing mainstream about them. Think about it. The people marching on Saturday were mainstream America. The leftoid trash that publishes the NYT is not mainstream anything, except perhaps treasonous.
Goldberg is asking that we come up with a new acronym. I know Rush has several. I like the YLM (You Lie Media).
I have no interest in what this snotty leftard SOB says.He was elemental in getting the Chicago Marxist elected.Screw him.
“...from the days of Nellie Bly and Jacob Reiss.”
I nominate you for the Obscure Reference Of The Day Award!
Amazing, they must be passing out sweaters in Hell.
A 20 year old young lady and 25 year old young man dressed as a pimp did the ENTIRE effing newspaper journalists job on $1400 and an idea.
These “kids” may almost singlehandedly save America.
Obama *IS* ACORN. SEIU is ACORN.
Well, it’s good to see that Stewart values his stock in trade as a comedian ahead of his personal politics.
Glad to hear this. He’s too left to listen too but I like him and was hoping he didn’t let the left pimp him.
LOL
Rush is now using the term "State Run Media". I think that's a little more on-the-mark.
I remember John Stewart once saying before the invasion of Iraq that the people of Iraq didn’t need Saddam’s palaces, they needed ‘Sandwiches’. He impressed me then, and just impressed me again.
I haven’t the highest regard for him, but it’s just supposed to be a comedy show. I try to keep that perspective.
Nevertheless, I think too many young people latch on to his often overly-simplistic way of looking at things. I am uncertain of his political compass, I happen to think he just goes whichever way the political winds are blowing and they are starting to blow in our direction again.
He’s part of the mindless herd, this is what fuels his ratings. The pendulum is starting to swing back and he along with it.
