Ordinarily (that is, 99 times out of 100) I would agree with Jon Stewart and disagree with Chris Wallace. Because I am, in fact, a moderate liberal in my general political/social outlook.
But for Stewart to call Wallace “insane” for correctly pointing out that Stewart makes CONSTANT mocking political/social commentaries, using humor, as a means of provoking change (see “Satire”) is just plain wrong.
Stewart is extremely intelligent, and so I can’t assume that Stewart doesn’t KNOW what he’s doing. Therefore, the only other conclusion is that he’s lying when he pretends not to know. At least, I can’t think of another one.
Almost all of Stewart’s bits have a political/social context. And he makes quite clear how he stands on each issue. Why noone outside of the insane far-right has the guts to point this out at once sickens and amazes me. I mean, you hate sheep, but you BAAAA in response to this guy? I know he’s really smart and it takes guts to potentially incur his wrath, but come on…let’s not be hypocrites or cowards, eh? Isn’t that what we hate so much?
So, sorry Jon, but you’re a liar. You KNOW your show is a liberal-slanted political/social commentary show, NOT a straight “comedy” show. I mean, you’re not an idiot. You’re actually VERY intelligent, and most of the time I agree with you, which makes it very difficult for me to point out the fact that you are, in reality, a liar.
Sorry. But you’re a really GOOD, FUNNY liar!
At least, I’m 6.9 on all that.
Point of commentary: THINK FOR YOURSELF! Anyone that gets ALL their “news” from ‘The Daily Show’/’The Colbert Report’ is just as ignorant as those that get ALL their “news” from Faux News.
