I have to say i'm impressed with how he stood his ground and didn't back off of his points of view.

First time I've been to fox news' site.

John looked tired?

Was impressed with how well john basically shot down everything that fool said. Fox news is heresy.

Correct, however, the difference is intent.

If you think Stewart didn't drink the kool-ade heavily before that interview...I have a bridge you might be interested in.

Stewart's defense when he gets called out on being an ideological ass is "Hey, I'm a comedian" as if it's an absolute defense.

Comedy isn't a defense to a charge of bias.

Also, I liked the part where he made a racist joke against Herman Cain. That's some funny stuff right there.

I fail to see how that joke is racially motivated...
I don't think he has a valid point.
Everything in the media has an ideological message of some kind no matter what it is. Objective news is difficult to get since it not only requires a company willing to ignore its own bias and interests in spreading a message but also to accept the loss in viewers they may get from not being sensationalist or counter-mainstream...

When he said he didn't think the NY Times was biased, but just sensationalist I laughed and laughed. He's either blind or he's lying.

EDIT: I liked the Cain joke though. Cain for 2012, I don't like to Read!

I don't think Wallace landed a shot though. This interview could have gone better. They both actually took each other seriously. Some self - depracating humor on both sides would have been appropo.

You do an excellent job of demonstrating just how deeply stupid and ideologically driven viewpoints from the right like yours have become, when being able to defend your stances and statements in cognizant, intellectually sound, and reasonable manner becomes 'drinking the kool-aid.' Reality and reasonability of fact and argument has nothing to do with it, nope, you're just going to write people off because of 'kool-ade.' (and it's going to be hilarious when your response is going be nothing more than finger pointing and trying to claim, 'they do it to.) It's also obvious you came running to this thread without actually having watched the interview to defend... well I have no idea what you think you're here to white knight for. Or were you trying for some sort of irony by failing to make a point with almost the same words Wallace used?

I'm not white knighting. I think Wallace had both good and bad points, but Stewart was well prepared, and obviously has deft skill at deflecting or turning questions back on the interviewer.

However, anyone who thinks that Stewart is not an ideological zealot is either blind or foolish. Possibly both.

edit: wait, what the hell is a "Papadoc-bush"?

That sounds like a good drink too. Disaster Area sounds like a good drink name also, but what would it consist of?

It would contain anything which would make the consumer a "disaster area" in the most literal sense possible. So I'm thinking laxatives, stimulants like caffine and guarana, and maybe something which will cause nausea after several hours.

The land of cotton.

So... when the NY Times goes after Palin it's written off as laziness and sensationalism, but when Fox goes after someone it's pure evil. Really.

Stewart is hiding behind his comedy schtick while pushing his own idealism, all the while claiming not to be an ideologue. Then he talked down to Wallace claiming "he couldn't understand" because of "the world he lives in".

When Diane Sawyer's clip was played Stewart dodged by calling it "sensationalism" and "mild disinformation". So really, Mr. Stewart: NBC spreading disinformation (his own words) is just innocent sensationalism and laziness, but Fox News is evil to the core because they have their own slant?

Stewart is the epitome of the holier than thou Left. He's smarter than us, and we can't understand him. It's OUR fault for failing to recognize his brilliance.

Puh-lease.

Pretty sure all network news is filled with blatant sensationalism.

I found the interview to be quite humorous, the clip of the Roast was especially questionable for making a case.

Lets all just admit it here. every news source , every person in this world is bias. I believe that the only true way to get fair and balanced news is to read the stuff for yourself and make your own mind up. Any one telling you the news is inherently telling it to you with there spin, it's human nature. My love for john Stewart comes from him saying his comments about people and then going to there show and saying it again to there face and not back peddling or telling them i didn't mean it like that, not from him being non biased.

Truth.

Which only furthers the point of "certain" 24 hour news channels being bias, regardless of what they try to say or how they try to state otherwise.

I watch Jon because he's funny. I also realize that they daily show is actually acting like a news organization much, no, FAR more than anything else out there, which is a sad thing.

I see the humor in what he says, not any bias. He rips on whatever shows up that's a good target. It's just fact that fox news is like the holy grail when it comes to this...
