I don't care about any pwnage or not. I'll leave that for you cavemen to "debate". But either way, it was the most intelligent conversation cable television has seen in 20 years. It was a really great interview. Dude can't even get his message out in friendly territory these days. No wonder he doesn't have the cajones to book an interview on Fox News Retards post retarded posts Edited October 29, 2010 by conner
Magox Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 But either way, it was the most intelligent conversation cable television has seen in 20 years. You are not allowed to use the word "intelligent" to characterize anything.
Gary M Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 But either way, it was the most intelligent conversation cable television has seen in 20 years. It was a really great interview. Retards post retarded posts Because they talked slow and used small words?

Peace Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 You watched it with your pants off didn't you? Thanks for the laugh; FU for the image.
IDBillzFan Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Because they talked slow and used small words? You need only hit the comments section of any Huffington Post story that mentions Stewart to see where conner's coming from. Stewart is, far and away, their de facto news source. He's all the news they think they need, wrapped up in a gooey cheese, floating in some sugar-filled marinara sauce, and stuffed into a crusty shell that's ready to eat in 3 minutes.

And yet his news commentary is one of the best on TV because it caters to viewers with brains. If you don't wish more interviews with Obama would be done the way Stewart did his, there may be something wrong with you. Stewart made Obama talk about the issues, including some of the hotter topics. Obama looked presidentially smart in rolling with a few jokes. The interview reminded me of a lighter-hearted version of the best political interviewer I ever saw: Tim Russert. Quick, smart, and not afraid to tread uncomfortable ground.

drnykterstein Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) And yet his news commentary is one of the best on TV because it caters to viewers with brains. Obviously Magox is severely lacking in this department. LaBillz, you have exaggerated a ton on your assessments of J-Stew. However, I do have more respect for him than any other political commentator on TV. Him and Colbert the only ones who I feel do not lie to me. Because they talked slow and used small words? Because Stewart does not use PAC or Think-Tank marketing speak. Obama does, but I think Stewart really was able to make him keep it to a minimum. Edited October 29, 2010 by conner

My commentary was not on the quality of the interview, but rather that some people believe Stewart is the best place to get their news. I would argue, however, that Obama came off as many things, but presidential wasn't one of them. As I heard one commentator say yesterday, it's not good when the interviewer comes off looking larger than the president, and that's precisely what happened.

It's a show that's improved on the basic SNL news skit, and you find it to be the best place for political commentary? You also think Chucky Cheese makes a damn good pizza don't you?
Peace Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Obviously Magox is severely lacking in this department. Don't draw me into your immature attacks on others. Deal with your petty battles on your own.
drnykterstein Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 It's a show that's improved on the basic SNL news skit, and you find it to be the best place for political commentary? Welcome to America! ... or perhaps you think politics in this country is not a Joke.

Obama came across as bright and able to roll with the punches. I admire that in him. I don't find him a great president but I do like that about him--he's got a media savvy and sense of humor.

Gary M Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) Now you know why Bush and Cheney avoided Stewart like the plague. Because they didn't care if people like you voted for them? Edited October 29, 2010 by Gary M

IDBillzFan Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Now you know why Bush and Cheney avoided Stewart like the plague. Because they didn't need the student vote?
Booster4324 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Jon Stewart sucks, pure fluff. Doesn't hold a candle to true news guys like Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh.
