How Jon Stewart turned lies into comedy and brainwashed a generation

[Vigilante]

And I call you plain stupid for NOT KNOWING what YOUR Socialist president is doing!

I don't actually hang on his every word, kind of blows your theory of blind following behavior on my part.

You don't know any of his words, if you did, and if you had a functioning brain, you wouldn't be a subversive!

You like that word "subversive" don't you? Defined as one who stands against the established order and considering that the established order is a corrupt plutocracy then I find it difficult understand how being a subversive is a bad thing today. Also you should call yourself something else if you think being subversive is an insult.

You leftist SUBVERSIVES are who I complain about, we had a decent government UNTIL Carter, Clinton and Obozo took over, although both Bush's weren't great, just the right side of the same club, but better!...Look who runs the Republican party today!

We never had a decent government. Give up that myth right now.

What did we have?

You do realize the richest in this country are DemocRATS.... look that up! I'm not Christian, I don't care about religion...the kids GO HOME, they are NOT our responsibility...deport them, and charge their gov't for the transportation, OR take it out of our AID to those countries!

The rich are represented by the GOP. And billionaires are typically republicans no?

Is there a stat about billionaires? Jobs, Buffett, Bloomberg, the idiot Facebook guy, all leftists.

Good! 5 against the rest of the Forbes billionaires.

And I wonder how liberal they are economically. Are their employees unionized and the highest paid in the country?

And don't count athletes and actors because they don't hire like corporations do. Corporations are pro rich anti overpaid middle class. They own the government.

Even the democrats are not liberal enough. Think Thom Hartman bernie sanders or elizabeth warren.

I imagine you don't realize that Corporation HIRE WORKERS, without Corporations there would be no American economy!...You want us back to 1800?

I'm not about to get sucked into your right wing circular argument fool.

And companies don't hire unless people have money to buy their products. Its why ford paid his employees so well.

I can't sucker in a fucking subversive SOCIALIST that thinks everyone is equal, and should get equal money... you're uncovered!

No back to when 35% of americans were in unions.

We're still paying for that in legacy costs

Your STUPID, you GIVE AWAY all your KIDS MONEY to INVADERS,,,, Don't you understand this... You BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS will KILL US ALL with your FREE SHIT FOR EVERYONE, NO MATTER WHERE YOU COME FROM...

You gave all your money to the top 1%. We use to have 25% of the money now we have 10%. The rich took all your money not mexican kids.

And isn't the GOP the christian party? What would they do to those kids?

The rich are represented by the GOP. And billionaires are typically republicans no?

The two parties represent the two business models. Republicans: getting crazy rich now in spite of the long term consequences. Democrats: long term sustainability of wealth and stability in the markets. There are numerous billionaires who are democrats but few of them are really that liberal, they just want to be rich twenty years from now.

Who made up that bullshit? YOU?

Nope, a couple of guys named Keynes and Friedman.

What did we have?

We have always lived in a plutocracy, there are times when the government risked siding with the common folk and lived up to it's promise but you probably think of those times as when the subversives won.

But republican fools don't think class warfare exists.

And if we try to fight back they call us socialists.

Did you see this year ford had record profits and gave out record profit sharing? Looks like unions didn't ruin them.

Ford also had a record year in 1999. Then bush got in and the global economy went to shit.

Remember bush had to borrow on the debt and send us each $300 a couple times during his presidency to not fall into an official recession? What a loser. I'm talking about you.

Social security we pay into, it's not a FREEBIE, most labor laws are decades old , due process come from clause 39 of the Magna Carte, just Miranda rights came into being in 1966, and NOW THE EPA Has OVERSTEPPED it's design and has closed down, and put more workers OUT OF WORK than ever before....Look at the UNION COAL INDUSTRY! You know NOTHING of what you talk about!

 

[AvgGuyIA]

did you read the article?

I did. Before it was posted here. And its premise is that John Stewart is an irresponsible journalist.

He's neither. He's a comedian and satirist.

Can we agree with this statement: Journalism is gathering, processing, and dissemination of news and information related to the news to an audience. The word applies to both the method of inquiring for news and the literary style which is used to disseminate it.[1][2]

Isn't this exactly what Stewart did but put a his own twist on the story much like FOX news is ACCUSED of doing?

Jon Stewart is a satirist.

Satire:

the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

satire definition of satire in Oxford dictionary American English US

That's what Jon Stewart does. You might as well accuse the Onion or Saturday Night Live of bad journalism. Republicans may not be able to tell the difference between Satire and journalism. But everyone else can.

No, everyone cannot.

Watch Leno do his thing where he asks questions on the street.

Kids don't know jackshit, think Manual Labor is the President of Mexico.

Leno's man on the street bit is a comedy. Its edited to be funny. Folks know exactly who Leno is. If they want to be part of the bit, they need to memorable. So they are.

Only an idiot would take a man on the street comedy bit as some sociological study. It would be like assuming Borat accurately reflected American values with the Americans he choose to show.

Waters's World demonstrates liberals are stupid all the time.
