Stewart: So what does a guy have to do to get fired at ABC? (ABC gets zapped by Jon Stewart)
Hot Air ^ | August 24,2010 | John Stewart

Posted on 07/24/2012 9:38:45 AM PDT by SE Mom

That’s a very good question, and one that — so far — ABC News hasn’t answered. Brian Ross went to air within hours of the Aurora shooting to tell George Stephanopoulos and the Good Morning America audience on Friday morning that Ross had found something “significant” about the suspect. ... Jon Stewart wonders aloud what someone has to do to get fired at ABC:

It’s pretty sad that fake news has more integrity than real news, but its been that way for years now.

Call Zero a Mohammadan and demand to see his REAL birth certificate.

When the liberal media has lost Stewart, it has lost.

When the conservative media loses stewart it is no loss at all.

And how many dozens of ‘journalists’ and politico did the same to Sarah Palin with the Arizona shootings a couple of years ago?

Who got fired or who called for anyone to get fired then?

The most insightful line is the last sentence of his bit where he ties in the “pre-existing narrative” of the Tea Party with low taxes...madmen..you do the math George..

Not hardly. It would be a news story of how they were so enamored by Obama that they were giving him a delicacy present.

More people than Ross would be fired.

Stephonoplis (sp) ask a lead in question that laid the groundwork for the Ross comment. BOTH of them knew he would say this ahead of time, and that leads me to think it was a coordinated effort by the show’s entire production team—producers, writers, and reporters.

Stewart’s been told by the Party to fire a “humorous” shot across the bow at Brian Ross: “Hey, fella, we get that you’re a true believer, and that’s really sweet, but you’re just too freakin obvious. If you embarass us again, that’s it for you.”

I never thought I'd say it, but three cheers for Jon Stewart.

And by the way, this would be a good time for Romney to issue a statement condemning the obvious media bias.

The unfunny Communist Leibowitz has to occasionally chide his true allies in the QueerMedia.

All to give the appearance that his Marxist propagandizing is “balanced” and even-handed.

Now, back to baseless, ignorant attacks on moral, conservative, Christian America.

The events were so horrific and shocking that even Stewart gets that (1) this should not be made into a political football, and (2) falsely accusing someone of being involved could have terrible consequences for the person falsely accused, so you need to double & triple-check that you have it right.
