Stewart is no legend but, in this particular instance, he’s right. Trump continues to set the media’s agenda and they just can’t help but plunge right into the briar patch.
A dark soul
a chink in a journalists armor

RACIST!
LOL, just kidding, but they have screamed that about others using the phrase.
amanpour — the original war whore.
One of the worst and most prolific creators of fake news.
I'm gonna need some specifics, because I think he's doing what he campaigned on and doing it brilliantly.
50 year low general unemployment figures, lowest ever Latino, Black, youth unemployment, multi decade highest consumer confidence, great GDP figures.. I could go on all day. What policies are not working Jon?
Shows just how shallow these people are. Trump calls ‘Fake News’ the enemy. Who, in their right mind, would argue that? The ‘media’ wants victimhood status to tout to the ‘downtrodden’ audience they’ve created.
‘See! We ARE just like you!’
Jon-Boy would certainly be an expert on narcissism.
“a chink in a journalists “
Didn’t a baseball broadcaster recently get spanked for using such “racist” verbiage?
Stewart is no legend, but he is what happens when you have an innate intelligence but are educated with critical theory instead of critical thinking.
Jon Stewart has moments of pure insight - - then he mixes that insight with fearlessness of saying anything to anyone...
Here he tells a journalist that journalists are being played for fools by Trump... then to add insult to injury he explains how it’s done and why it works.
And Jon Stewart knows narcissism!
Jon Stewart's observation is spot on, echoing another voice:
"If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him." - Sun Tzu, The Art of War, ca. 500 BC
Like all Marine Corps officers, I studied Sun Tzu my entire career. I have never seen a greater student and practitioner of Sun Tzu's principles than Donald Trump. The old Chinese general would be proud.
Half wits not even in our league. It took him this long to figure this out ?
No objective journalist would be susceptible to this sort of technique. What we have, however, are self-aggrandizing media celebrities, and they are.
At 90% negative coverage of President Trump; I’d say the news media has earned every single gut punch they get.
Especially when one contrasts the current coverage with the obummer coverage. Then it was probably 90% positive coverage but it wasn’t earned.
Trump has earned that 90% positive coverage but because today’s MSM are such ideologues against anything right wing; Trump gets what he gets. Plus to the MSM; this is personal. They are used to having a punching bag as a republican President who doesn’t punch back. Trump fights back. At this point the MSM is bloodied and bruised while Trump doesn’t have a mark on him from the fight. This just makes the MSM even more livid and crazed.
Wouldn’t it be great if the news media had to pay serious fines for putting out fake news ie blatant lies!?
