Daily Show’s Jon Stewart roasts Mark Halperin’s interview of Ted Cruz
Washington Post ^ | May 13 | Erik Wemple

Posted on 05/13/2015 12:43:07 PM PDT by nickcarraway

In a roundup of media encounters with the wide-open field of 2016 Republican presidential hopefuls, Jon Stewart last night took a shot or two at Bloomberg Politics’ Mark Halperin, who earlier this week apologized for his April 30 interview of Sen. Ted Cruz. Introducing the interview, Stewart said, “The candidates aren’t the only ones being vetted. See if you can spot which member of this interview also deserves to get primaried out of 2016,” said Stewart.

With that, “The Daily Show” inventoried all the identity-obsessed questions that Halperin posed to Cruz, such as: “It seems to me your last name is Cruz and you’re from Texas — just based on that, should you have appeal to Hispanic voters?” Also: “Do you got a favorite Cuban food?” And: “Do you have a favorite Cuban singer?”

Stewart mocked away: “Are you even Hispanic, senator?”

How many years did Stuart make a living off playing into the Leftist dogma?

_ him and the Donkey he rode in on.

The man doesn’t deserve to have a public outlet to propagandize from. He and other players, are exactly why we’re in the situation we’re in.

Now he wants to play the role of fixer?

Damned rat bastard!

What is that saying? Even a lying POS can spot a dog's @$$hole in the sun once a day?

I think that's how the saying goes...

For those willing to jump hoops.. Mr. Stewart and CBS seem to be unaware of

it is not a cure but has seen some clinical studies that show it may have a positive effect on diabetes.

Wouldn’t argue with that.

He’s always the last man in on the pile-on when it comes to obvious party embarrassments. I guess he think it buys him credibility when he doesn’t defend the indefensible.

And with the young and the stoned, it does.

Strange that we feel encouraged because a liberal commentator we reject agrees with us on something. It’s as if we crave their approval, and when they grant it we feel justified.

I agree. It is very tempting to say, “At long last...”

We shouldn’t kid ourselves. This type of an individual will point to this moment for the next decade, while doing literally thousands of things that go against us moment by moment.

It’s validation of the ridiculousness of the Halperin interview.

It is official, Mark Halprin gets the “Cathy Crowley” award for April 2015. Don’t worry, the rest of you in the media, plenty of opportunities left between now and November 2016!

I doubt it. He's just making a joke. Leftist comedians mock their own side sometimes.

I can't stand him, smug scumbag.

Probably so, mocking his own side.

If so, is another failure for him to fully grasp the situation.
