Fine, but I would argue that means he now has to wear the same responsiblity he wants the others to wear and show some consistency. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 08:54 20
- I'm not sure what you mean by this. Anyone who watches even on a semi-regular basis can tell you that he's just as quick to point out idiocy by the - Trish Mar 13, 09:07 2
  - This isn't politics, left/right/whatever. It's a consistency on a guest by guest basis in terms of tone of interview. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 09:20 1
    - Again, you totally missed the point. If the "regular" media is just going to cover it up, then somebody has to stand up and say "enough". - Trish Mar 13, 09:28
- No, cause he's a comedian...his job is to make douchbags out to be douchebags, while laughing -- nm - The Calico Cat Coaliton Mar 13, 09:07
- well in the broader sense, he has the responsibility not to use the kid gloves on Obama - Reagen Mar 13, 09:01 3
  - I'm leaving it on B2 and two boards of talk on this, but my final summary is that I don't think Jon exercises proper... - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 09:30
  - And if Rick Santelli had gone on the show like he was scheduled to, the big pussy, Cramer would'nt have had to gone on and take the brunt of it - amoxy Mar 13, 09:04 1
    - "Wimp Ass Pu$$y" should go out on a date with "Dumb A$$ Trick". -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 09:05
- Are you a regular watcher of the show or did you just watch last night cause you'd seen the media attention the Cramer interview was getting? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 13, 09:01 2
  - Goes thru fits and spurts. Watched most of last year, but took a break post-Christmas. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 09:09 1
    - I guess I just look at the show differently then. I view it more as a news show with laughs. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 13, 09:20
- there is no consistency... - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:55 8
  - I'm talking the tone of the Daily Show. Jim Cramer's hardly the greatest villian to ever grace the show's green room, yet Jon.... - Name Withheld By Request Mar 13, 09:05 5
    - Most the "villians" on his show hadn't just trashed him all week -- nm - The Calico Cat Coaliton Mar 13, 09:14
    - You seem to be hung up on this idea that the DS is just a "comedy" show, when really it isn't. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 13, 09:12 2
      - There's nothing wrong with just wanting to be entertained :) -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 09:24
      - It's kind of like when O'Reilly said that TDS/Colbert audiences were nothing but slackers and stoners, right after ratings sweeps. So, Stewart got - Trish Mar 13, 09:22

    - err...there is no...inconsistency. - Mel Profit Mar 13, 09:19
I think that's right. I think they'd be happy to sit on the side lines, make their jokes, make a few points and stay out of the way. - Mel Profit Mar 13, 08:51 3
- "What me worry?" -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 08:59
- Agree. What I really hope is that Stewart can get back to his "fart Jokes" like he said last night - amoxy Mar 13, 08:53 1
