JAY CARNEY: I remember we had some discussion during 2012 about well, is it appropriate for the president, the sitting president and candidate, to give interviews with Jon Stewart and others. And the answer was yes, again because the young voters we were trying to reach are more likely to watch The Daily Show than some other news shows. But also, I think if you look back at 2012 and the series of interviews the sitting president of the United States gave, probably the toughest interview he had was with Jon Stewart. Probably the most substantive, challenging interview Barack Obama had in the election year was with the anchor of The Daily Show. (A Conversation with Jay Carney at George Washington University, April 17, 2014)

Fecal poisoning is rampant in American journalism.

Afraid of getting the Larry Connors treatment, American journalists are puppets of Dear Reader.

Didn’t Jon Stewart all but laugh in Nancy Pelosi’s face?

[Tenacious 1]

I suppose the Bill O’Reilly interview was so traumatic that it has been blocked from memory all together.

[Tenacious 1]

I heard Obama had to be treated for PTSD after the Jon Stewart “slug fest”.

Softballs lobbed to a t-ball president.

Quite the admission. The Crony Journalism Networks are interested in agenda promotion not news or investigation or informing the people.

Pat Caddell called it. Do you believe it yet?

It was tough because Jon kissed him so hard it hurt.

Any Reporter that has dared to ask him a tough question, with the possible exception of Major Garret, has seen their career destroyed.

Remember the guy in Missouri?

Did Jon Liebowitz remember to ask Obongo what his favorite flavor was at Baskin-Robbins?

That's how the Democrats do it.

That's why they get John Stewart and Candy Crowley, while we get Sam Donaldson and Candy Crowley.

The toughest interview that Obama ever faced was getting questioned by a comedian on a comedy show. Let it sink in.

Does anyone in the MSM feel any embarrassment or shame or are they too distracted by the tingles running up their legs?

[GeronL]

Leftists are unable to feel shame
