Was he prepping for the purge Comcast is having?. The night of long knives for journalism...

1. Me too
It wasn't comedy, it was ass kissingly awful. I guess Stewie is looking for bigger bucks?

2. I've been noticing his "bipartisanship" for a while now....
But when I posted about it about a month ago, I was told I was being paranoid. If you watched one of his shows of a year ago and compared it to one of his shows now, you'd be shocked.

5. Paranoia?
Of course not, we have nothing to fear from big media and GE.

They love us and would never lie too, or cheat us. Right?

4. Jon (spell his name right, at least) --
is 100% right about FOX -- they are VERY VERY good at what they do, with is act as a propoganda organ for Big Business and the GOP.

We should be so lucky to have such an organization and money on our side.

6. heh
Didn't you see John reach under the table and massage the fox?
They were playing footsie, too, and later, well who knows what they did.
It sure looked like foreplay on the tube, tho.

9. Oh FFS
Stewart wasn't kissing Fox's ass. The gist of what he said was that they do what they do very well, and he's right. He also complimented his guest for not being the sort of Fox journalist who's completely insane.

I can't think of anyone who has Stewart's level of following who has consistantly ripped Fox on a more regular basis.

10. You're comparing Stewart's actions towards a guest to the Nazi's political executions...
:eyes:

Hyperbole much?

Just to be clear...
You'll survive the hyperbole & maybe get the point-maybe not.

I do consider the execution of what left of a fair media frightening...

13. I see it a no touch topic on MSNBC so far...
And I do pay extra-JUST to see Kieth. If he's gone I'm gonna axe that portion. If it were not for fear of a family (kids) revolt I'd pull the whole thing. Tempting however.

But I sse Cenk said zip nada zero...Now Chris is coming on-see if it is a featured topic in a sec-


NOPE!..
Can't touch this...Hammer time..
