He completely let into him. He played John lennon's war is over, and had balloons and confetti flowing down on him, because after all obama said the war was ended and troops were coming home.
Jon then played excerpts from a Bush speech and an Obama speech, basically they were the same sentiments. Both suggested that troops needed to remain in Iraq. They were identical statements
Jon said "war is over, they are coming home, except for the several dozen thousand troops that will remain"
Obama isnt calling them soldiers on a mission anymore. He has changed the "roles". And Jon railed on him, suggesting that maybe we can call them "trees", and that they could remain in Iraq for a longer time.
Jon is most likely a democrat but whats cool about him, is he equally hates both sides and sees the complete joke that we refer to as politics.
Brilliant!
I remember when he railed on Harry Reid and Nancy Pelousy for their repeated stances of "we cant pull troops out because we wont get enough votes for such a measure to pass".

"you cant be in and out at the same time".

I used to love Jon Stewert. until he had ex-US president Jimmy Carter on his show.
Carter is actually an outspoken critic of Israeli policy. Jon Stewart is Jewish. to this point the daily show has avoided all talk of Israeli apartheid. when Jimmy Carter was on they pretty much did a fluff interview, nothing was really discussed about the issue.
but. throughout the entire interview, the background for Jimmy Carter was a huge star of David. basically this huge Israeli flag behind him. it doesn't seem like a big deal, but if I had been looking at the show for the first time, or was unsure about the Israeli/Palestinian issue, and happened to glance at the tv screen, the picture presented to me would have been very pro-Israeli.
and of course they never went into detail about the issue itself.

Jon Stewart is a puppet for the far left. He is no different then Bill O'Rielly in pretending to be independent, but instead of being an ass to entertain the older crowd like Bill, he uses humor to entertain the younger crowd. And I don't know about you, hes always kissing Obama's ass if you ask me, I watch the show now and again.
Even though they claim to be "fake news", it still shapes people's opinions....
All though some of his shit is pretty funny....I'll give him that.0 -

Ok I am a college student and political science major and i absolutely love jon stewart, and i really think that people that make comments like jon stewart is a "puppet for the left" dont watch the show that often. jon has said many times that the show is only to entertain people, yes to some degree it is informative but it pokes fun at all different types of people in politics and political media. the episode that the original poster referenced was absolutely hysterical because it showed obama's speech from this past week use the EXACT SAME LANGUAGE THAT PRESIDENT BUSH USED, he made complete fun of obama. jon stewart is a very funny comedian and he really is not biased at all because before bush was elected all he did was make fun of clinton, he makes fun of everyone.
here is the clip that the original poster talked about its so funny -

Check out Jon in 1996:

He was funnier and truer back then. He talks about Iraq and Israel here. The bit at the end is great.0 -

O'Reilly is an independent, he considers himself a traditionalist. I've been watching his show for a long time. He gives it to both sides. His show is based on facts and then he gives his opinion on the issues at hand.When politics is the subject he always has a dem and a repub and he always gives his guest the last word. If you are going to criticize him at least spell his name right.0 -
But O'Reilly claims to be a news show, where Stewart is pure entertainment.Motha Judson wrote:Jon Stewart is a puppet for the far left.

I like Stewart for the entertainment, but I don't see him as news, like a lot of people see Bill O'Reilly.
What Stewart does best, IMO, is poke fun at the media, from all sides.0 -

I don't think he is a puppet for the left as much as he is doing a TV show for a target audience. That audience is young adults. Most young adults tend to lean to the left. It's not difficult to see he's just trying to give his audience what it wants. As for shaping people's opinions, I loved when Stewart went on Crossfire and told Tucker Carlson how him and others like him needed to do a better job as journalists, and when Carlson questioned him about the same thing, Stewart responded with something like, "I do a show that's led into by puppets making prank phone calls. Nobody should be taking us seriously.""The dude abides. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' her easy for all us sinners."0 -

If you truly believe this, I don't know what to say to you. Nobody ever got the last word on Bill... he's famous for shouting people down and cutting off their mics when they start scoring points on him. His "facts" are as slanted as any candidate's and if he's giving a fair shake to dems and repubs, then I have a third nut.0 -
Well then you do have a third nut or you dont watch his show. If his facts are slanted then give me an example.If he's not fair to his guest then why are his ratings higher than anyone else's when it comes to cable news? Over 2 million people watch his show nightly. He always gives his guest the last word Ive been watching his show now for over 7 years. Let's be honest soulsinging you dont watch his show b/c you don't know what you're talking about. also the man gives more to charity every year then most people make in a life time and he's been an advocate for getting Jessica's law passed in all 50 states
I could keep going but I dont need to prove anything to you b/c you're just another left wing loon.0 -

In early 2007, researchers from the Indiana University School of Journalism published a report in the academic journal Journalism Studies that analyzed the Talking Points Memo segment that opens most O'Reilly Factor broadcasts on Fox News Channel. Using analysis techniques ... ..the study found that O'Reilly used propaganda... The report also found "a consistent pattern of O'Reilly casting non-Americans in a negative light. Both illegal aliens and foreigners were constructed as physical threats to the public and never featured in the role of victim or hero."[2][3]

You make it seem as if I like Bill O'Reilly, I just don't think hes any different then Stewart in the sense that they distort the facts. Stewart hides behind the fact that he has a comedy show, as if he can't be held accountable for his ambiguous comments because its entertainment. O'Reilly and Stewart both take jabs at both sides of the spectrum, they do it so they don't seem completely bias.
I don't like either one of them, but the only thing Stewarts got going over O'Reilly is the comedy...it is pretty funny even though I don't agree with a lot of the stuff he implies.
He all but openly kisses Obama's ass, with out actually saying so. O'Reilly did the same thing with Bush until it became fashionable to hate him, even for Republicans.0 -
Completly taken out of context commy He has said many times that he believes most illegals are honest people who want to make a better life for them selves,but we need to control the chaos on the border and there are a lot here that are committing crimes. obviously you don't watch his show either Not to mention he invited the professor of that class to come on his show but he declined. mmmmmmmCommy wrote:...

Sorry to tell you, but you have to deal with it if you want to post here, out of context is the norm for people on this board. They try to skew your words because they don't have a lot going in the way of facts.0 -
Stewart DOES support Obama, but attacks him as hard as Bush. Stewart openly distorts the facts, but he's on the COMEDY network. O'Reilly is on a News show, which makes it innappropriate to do so.Motha Judson wrote:soulsinging wrote:

If Bill went out and openly said he was doing was a comedy show, I'd have no problems with it. I guess it's not the act, but the intent.0 -

please give me an example of Bill distorting facts.0 -
Heres a small click I just youtubed, I don't know who this Frank guy is, but the clips from Jon and Bill speak for themselves.
They both have their own way of doing it, but its pretty clear that their interviews are designed to skew the truth in favor of their side of the political spectrum.

Hope this is enough, but I some how doubt it.0 -
Oriely feeds on the fears of the populous, Stewart simply exposes it.
