Default Jon Stewart On CrossFire

Stewart on CNN's CrossFire as seen in this video. the CNN guys, Tucker Carlson in particular, treat Stewart likes he's supposed to be one of them and he just blasts both of them:

Quote:
STEWART: It's not honest. What you do is not honest. What you do is partisan hackery. And I will tell you why I know it.
CARLSON: You had John Kerry on your show and you sniff his throne and you're accusing us of partisan hackery?
STEWART: Absolutely.
CARLSON: You've got to be kidding me. He comes on and you...
STEWART: You're on CNN. The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls.
Carlson doesn't let up but he's in over his head with Stewart...

Quote:
STEWART: You know, the interesting thing I have is, you have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably.
CARLSON: You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think.
STEWART: You need to go to one.
Stewart just skewers Carlson over and over and finishes hm off with this line:

Quote:
STEWART: You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.

the wicked irony of that clip is that you have the journalists hammering the comedian for not acting more like a journalist, when the comedian makes the case that the journalists are basically clowns in a dog-and-pony show...

This is a quote from the Daily Show awhile back, by Steven Colbert--

"When this man appears in public no one is sure it's actually him, and yet he's held an iron grip on power since 1979 — 24 years of brutal dictatorship, all while only maybe existing. The point is we can kill Saddam Hussein but we won't win the war until we kill the idea of Saddam Hussein. So what we need to do is develop bombs that kill ideas."

LMAO
