Jon Stewart rips Hannity an new one.

Why yes I am indeed.

 

Now, THAT would be perverted.

 

Unfortunately, Hannity, that squirrel named Glen Beck, and a couple of other "conservative talkers" fall into the same class as Maher, Colbert, and the rest of the new left leaning "comics". None of them have much of a clue concerning actual truth. Only what they think their public wants to hear and that will make them popular.

 

Bruce, yes, it used to be that way in the earlier days. They tried to be comics, with only a little success, and even then it was with viewers that possessed a rather sophomoric sense of humor. Then almost all of them did indeed start to value what they were saying as something that was real. Now, even in interviews, they spout off exactly what they were using as jokes previously. Politically, they're idiots.

 

Do you really believe GB says what others want him to say? He's a 1/2 bubble shy of level and says stuff all the time that has me scratching my head. not saying he is always wrong, by any means. but he doesn't seem to worry to much about what others think of him. now hannity is a different story....

 

Maher and Oliver are brilliant, I watch both every week. I've been watching Maher since the mid-90's, I strongly disagreed with him for years, now I'm more on his side than in the past, but I've always appreciated that he doesn't agree with everything his party supports unlike most of the hacks on tv.

They are both very funny guys with well written entertaining shows, if anyone hasn't watched Oliver, you really should.

 

it's called "propaganda". Goebbels would be proud.

You left out Maher.........it's really cute tho, between them and their fans they're always harping on the ONE channel who hasn't jumped the shark as they have....and it KILLING them.

 

I've never seen Bee's show. I didn't find her particularly funny on Stewart's show. Wilmore's show, I have only seen on YouTube but he seems like a one-issue guy. That's not enough to carry his own show. Noah, I just don't find funny. I have watched clips on YouTube and I still don't understand how he replaced Stewart. I think I may have watched one Colbert Report during its entire run. Wasn't a fan. This thread is the most I have seen of him on his new show. I like Stewart and Oliver.

 

Basically Affirmative Action.

 

Coincidentally, he no longer anchors a TV comedy show.
I think you just proved that he was good at balancing his show when it was his job and now voices his personal opinion as a citizen (wherever it is that you've been seeing him lately because I sure haven't seen much of him).

 

Noah was the only one willing to be the third guy to take his turn at the prostitute that was that liberal gangbang of a show.

 

If you're talking about how he went after news media, I agree he had his sights set on Fox News (although he also used to ridicule CNN on a regular basis) but that seemed to be far from a one-way relationship.
If you're referring to the way he treated the various administrations, you'd be surprised by how wrong you are if you had watched once in a while during the Obama years. He wasn't exactly kind to the Democrats either. It wasn't just the occasional jab like Maher.

 

I remembered after I logged off yesterday that you drank the Iraq Kool-Aid. It wasn't Stewart who changed, it was you.
