"Daily Show with Jon Stewart'' thread..

zain · 24th September 2010, 20:44

Think his show definitely merits his own thread seeing as though he keeps coming up in a few threads..at least I am a big fan, and recently his political guests have been brilliant..

Anyone catch King Abdullah of Jordan last night? The guy spoke a LOT of sense....
Was pretty impressed by the guy..

Team Brian GB · 24th September 2010, 20:49

I watch the Colbert Report personally as I think he is funnier.

Alex · 24th September 2010, 21:15

I think both of them get a bit tedious after awhile, although they do speak more sense than some of the idiots on there, I have better things to do than watch those two nightly

Paz · 24th September 2010, 22:36

great show

This somehow I find hard to believe.

Excal · 24th September 2010, 23:32

Why? His father King Hussein was the most moderate and forward-thinking head of state in the region, and King Abdullah was educated in both the US and the UK. Jordan has the highest literacy rate in the Arab world.

Also, he's been on a starship:

Red Dreams · 24th September 2010, 23:54

Try and catch Lawrence O' Donnell tonight on MSNBC "Last Word".

Always found him an intelligent pundit. Same as Rachael Maddow.

She's horrible. Basically a left wing amazon, lesbian version of Olbermann.......who in turn is a lefty version of O'Reilly.

Which are some of the reasons that the United States and Jordan have a free trade agreement.

Terrific show, I don't know why someone like Charlie Brooker can't do a British version.

TuTuHimm · 25th September 2010, 14:28

He's had some big names recently. Blair, Clinton and Carter.

SecondFig · 25th September 2010, 18:17

Anyone see Colbert testify to a congressional hearing on immigrant farm workers?

Thing I like about Stewart is he clearly knows his politics too. Very funny guy but gets his points across too. His interviews with political people are very insightful and he is able to debate far more aggressively with them than the anchors on the 24/7 news channels.

Literacy rates are irrelevant when considering the quality of a leader. Baathist Iraq had one of the highest literacy rates and at the time had the highest % of female graduates in the region. Guess who was Iraq's leader at the time.

The fact is King Abdullah, like his late father, is another corrupt, spineless, Arab dictator that oozes corruption and has anyone jailed for criticising him. He's also useless as an Arab leader (for starters he cant speak Arabic). I also recall during the Gaza crisis how he jetted around the world praying for a vet to be able to cure his poor dog while Gazans were being pounded, the guy's a tool.

He's only portrayed positively in the western media because he's simply a US puppet. Saddam was also portrayed positively 25 years ago, as were the Taliban 30 years ago....you get the idea.

She's not really a journalist though. She's a pundit with her own advocacy based TV show, much in the same vein as Olbermann, Hannity, O'Reilly, and so on. Even though I agree with a lot of what she says, I don't consider her to be an objective journalist who tries to get both sides of a story, which in the process allows viewers to reach their own conclusions. Like O'Reilly and the others on the other side, she and Olbermann try too hard to play the liberal v conservative card that Cable News channels have devolved into in recent years.

Which US news channel does? It's all partisan based where you tune in because you support either viewpoint not that you are after the truth.

I tune into Fox for a laugh- they are about as fair and balanced as the FA! Yet millions of Americans would watch Fox and take what they say as Gospel.

won't happen...

March to Restore Sanity etc is open to everyone in the general public, and it will way too impractical and a complete pain for the Secret Service in such an environment? atleast I think so?

or maybe I've been watching way too much of The West Wing lately..

zain · 26th October 2010, 07:03

Lol, tonight's episode had one brilliant segment..the whole Team Black and Team Islam thing was fantastic..

Arab leaders that seek peace are puppets and deserve to die (see Anwar Sa'adat and King Abdullah's grandfather). Obviously he should have ordered his army to attack Israel during the "Gaza crisis". After all, that's what his father did in 1967 during another crisis (despite being warned not to by Israel) which led to the capture of the West Bank.

I'm still unaware of the bravery of other Arab leaders during the time when his royal highness cared for his dog. I hope the dog is alright btw.

Media organizations within the US are increasingly entrenched into the politics of the people who own the news outlets. I watch Fox and Msnbc for entertainment as well. Its fun watching O'Reilly and Olbermann do their thing. But at the end of the day its obvious that its all at the expense of objective journalism. If you look at the landscape before Fox became what it has around 10 years ago, you'd see a lot more focus on News than on commentary.

First, the Taliban didn't exist 30 years ago. Secondly, Iraq's literacy rate was as high as it was during the Saddam years because Iraq was distinctly secular and progressive before the Baathists seized control. Third, I've heard Abdullah speaking Arabic.

Try applying a bit of independent thought to this rather than parroting everything your pal Sayyid Hasan says.

Yup, for example on Fox, just about all of their top shows are political commentary(based about current events) rather than newshour programs.

O'reilly
Beck
Hannity
Fox n Friends(the hosts on this are ALL horrible horrible people)

I think Fox are genius, their blatant lies and partisanship obviously caters perfectly to their core audience, but they are so horrible, they make themselves a must watch for those who despise them...Win-Win for Fox News, ratings bonanza...

Didn't Ch 4 have something like this back in the 90's? It was where I first saw Ricky Gervais and it launched Ali G.

Jon Stewart also used to present a current affairs show on BBC2 in the mid/late 90's.

I'd love to see someone like Chris Morris do a Jon Stewart style talk show myself.

The 11 O Clock show was mostly utter pants....10 O Clock Live is the recent attempt to do it, with Brooker.
