    Please get over yourself already. How many specials had liberal NBC done about catching sex offenders? Just because O'Reilly stands tough against those two issues doesn't mean that he is the only one. And while the liberal media does focus a lot of Bush and his policies lets not turn a blind eye to the slant of the conservative media and how they focus on fucking rosie O'Donnell and Sean Penn. I listen to Rush and O'Reilly and personally I think both of them have a fucking hard rock hog over Rosie. Even Coulter has called O'Reilly out on his obbsesion with O'Donnell.

    To answer you question as to why politicians go on his show, exposure. The same reason why a politician whould go on jay Leno or Letterman because it is free air time.


    i wouldnt even fuel his fire... he has all the talking points of typical blow hard right wing jack ass's such as coulter or hannity. attacking jon stewart?

    by the way Bootlegger10, you may remember the media sucking bush's cock for about 4 years after 9/11?... now that the disaster we call our leadership is in plain view they are only stating the obvious about bush and his HORRIBLE policies. there is no "liberal bias" in the media, and anyone that believes that shit needs to turn off Rush and Laura and start making decisions for themself

    or perhaps it is up to Jon Stewart to personally expose the lies leading up to the iraq invasion :rolleyes:

    Now, I know Jon Stewart runs a far left leaning show, so I was fully expecting Stewart to rip into George Tenet this evening, since he was so mortified that George Bush gave him a medal. Why didn't Tenet do more? I think Jon Stewart said "administration" about 100 times, though. That is all he was concerned about. Jon Stewart provided 15 minutes to Tenet to make a few bucks to sell a book based on a war he was involved in starting and justifying, and to find another excuse to bash the "administration". Never once did Stewart challenge Tenet, especially not as much as he challenged John McCain a few weeks ago. I guess Stewart is even farther left leaning than I thought.

    Edit: Forgot to mention the lead-in to the interview where Stewart tried to embarrass the media because they asked real questions of Tenet, because even they know Tenet is trying to make a few bucks and cleanse his soul by writing this book.

    He did the disclaimer in the beginning. He expected to do just that.. but every other journalist has already done that - so it was not needed.

    Oops, did I point out that Stewart (like CNN, MSNBC, and Fox) has an agenda, and can be just as big a hypocrite as the media you all hate?

    For sure.
    And I agree that the show has gone downhill. I used to find it pretty hilarious. A couple times in recent memory I had to turn it off in disgust.

    It still has its funny moments, but generally I am getting turned off. The BUsh humor is still pretty good, bu some of the "humor" around Iran capturing those British sailors escaped me, for instance.
