Do liberals not understand Jon Stewart is a comedienne and not a real news source?

Question

I always see them quoting what he says like hes in the real news business,..Hate to break it to you, but its his job to make jokes about everything, not report real news.No wonder you people are so screwed up

darkemoregan, fair and balanced lmao..HE IS A COMEDIENNE PEOPLE!!!!!!

Answer 1

Like Fox News and good ole Rush aren't news entertainment. Talk about screwed up!

Answer 2

He doesn't have to make jokes. The real news IS the joke. This administration IS the joke. Jon Stewart just speaks from his mind, much in the way that Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh do. So, does that mean that they are not a real news source either, because I see conservatives quoting them quite a bit.

Answer 3

Watch the show. Watch the real-life clips that he plays.

Yes, it's a fake news show. And yes, he makes jokes about it.

But many of the clips are real. And more than that, he makes it obvious when they've been edited or taken out of context, which is something most other 'real' news shows don't.

And that's what people are talking about.

{EDIT} BTW, "comedienne" is the obsolete female version of comedian. I wasn't sure if you were trying to be insulting or didn't know how to spell.

Answer 4

He's not a real news source of course, but he is a person who presents an interesting and intelligent view on political affairs. He has an amazing way of articulating difficult subjects and the way he blows past rhetoric is refreshing. He seems non-partisan (this does not mean he's not liberal, it means he's not a chauvinist), and is a surprisingly sensible voice against the mudslinging and the posturing that litters politics. Just because he's a comedian doesn't mean he cannot have an intelligent point of view, and comedy can be a pointed, extremely effective way of presenting ideas.

Answer 5

No. yet then, i have actual watched him, so i recognize what i'm talking about. i began back in 2004, and that i witnessed the ingredient that replaced the media very much. Jon Stewart replaced into the first man or woman to bypass and dig back by ability of the information of the previous and prepare clips from 5 years in the past next to clips from the day previous to this. no man or woman ever did that in the previous him. It took the media various years to capture up, yet now you spot all of it the time. He replaced into also the in straightforward words one I spoke of posting back to back episodes from the Bush campaign and the Blair campaign in England, showing how all the persons at Bush's conferences were sycophants and those at Blair's yelled at him at the same time as he replaced into on level without interference. i imagine it replaced into Frost/Nixon that finally instructed the completed tale of Jon Stewart. He began out to be a comic book, yet ended up telling a options more effective actuality than the media ever theory about. One reason Fox hates him is because he shows their clips back to back, interposed with clips of the actuality. I dare you to observe it for a month, truly of merely analyzing the grievance coming from the right, and come back to me on who you imagine is amazingly "pathetic". (Wait till after exertions Day, besides the undeniable fact that, as he's off for the summer time directing a movie about the Iranian journalist that replaced into arrested and tortured after the finest election. a real puff piece, huh?)

Answer 6

Satire has always been used to communicate the truth to the people under the disguise of comedy. The daily show is satire, rush limbaugh and ann coulter is hate speech. Watch the following example, does Jon Stewart need to make things up to get people laughing?

Answer 7

He is a real news SOURCE. He is not a real news reporter and not on a real news SHOW. There is a difference.

Plus, I'm pretty sure 99% of his fans [liberal or no] realize that he is a comedian [yes, that is how its spelled] - he makes it quite obvious. Nonetheless, he makes good points.

Answer 8

Liberalism is an ideology, philosophy, and political tradition that holds liberty as the primary political value.[1] Broadly speaking, liberalism seeks a society characterized by freedom of thought for individuals, limitations on power, especially of government and religion, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market economy that supports relatively free private enterprise, and a transparent system of government in which the rights of minorities are guaranteed. In modern society, liberals favour a liberal democracy with open and fair elections, where all citizens have equal rights by law and an equal opportunity to succeed[2]. Liberalism rejected many foundational assumptions which dominated most earlier theories of government, such as the Divine Right of Kings, hereditary status, and established religion. Fundamental human rights that all liberals support include the right to life, liberty, and property. In many countries, "modern" liberalism differs from classical liberalism by asserting that government provision of some minimal level of material well-being takes priority over freedom from taxation. Liberalism has its roots in the Western Enlightenment, but the term now encompasses a diversity of political thought, with adherents spanning a large part of the political spectrum, from left to right. In the context of economics, the term "liberalism" refers to economic liberalism, which is associated with the political ideology of liberalism itself.

Answer 9

So...news isn't real if you make a joke while reporting it? What makes you think the news that FOX and CNN put out is real?

Answer 10

The irony is that at the same time, you probably believe all of Ann Coulter's books are entirely factual and meant to be taken totally seriously.
