ABC didn't cover it. CBS didn't either. And NBC apparently wouldn't go near it. The network news broadcasts have ignored a growing scandal over evidence of a potential climate cover-up — and now they've even been scooped by the fake news at Comedy Central. "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" produced its "reporting" on Climate-gate Tuesday night, when Stewart quipped, “Poor Al Gore. Global warming completely debunked via the very Internet you invented. Oh, oh, the irony!”

Replete with a conspiracy, chalkboard, glasses, and thick books! http://www.therightscoop.com/jon-stewart-mocks-glenn-beck/

John Stewart had his best segment ever trashing the MSM over their how some kids scooped them to find out about corruption at ACORN. No video up yet. Here are some quotes: "I'm sure Acorn has 'a line'...please tell me 13 Salvadorian sex slaves is 'the line'" "The bad news, Acorn appears to be a corrupt organization that aides and abets criminals, and gets millions of dollars in taxpayer money, the good news is, it seems to be very well run" "Which intrepid journalist broke this story, 60 minutes, AP?" "Where were the real reporters on this story. You know...

Well, it's something that's been on my mind for years, but I'm so glad to see it actually confirmed in a newspaper. From the New York Times we find out that Jon Stewart fans are a bunch of egotistical self-righteous buffoons... or at least one-fifth of them. According to 'secret media research' done by the geniuses at Comedy Central, at least twenty percent of all of the viewers of The Daily Show or the Colbert Report believe that people think they're cool for doing so. (We'll leave Stephen Colbert out of this because he's actually funny.) That's right, they think...

Back in April, when the debate over torture was roaring, Jon Stewart invited Cliff May, a national-security hawk and former spokesman for the Republican Party, to come on The Daily Show and defend waterboarding. May was hesitant. He thought Stewart would paint him as a crazy extremist. The audience would jeer. It would be a disaster. "I was apprehensive about going on, even though I've been on TV for a dozen years," says May. "A lot of my friends told me: 'Don't do it. You're meat going into the sausage factory.'" But May had a change of heart after soliciting...

John Stewart sends Jason Jones to Iran to test Iranians on the street about their knowledge of U.S. and then asks the same questions here about Iran - "Jihad Walking"(a take-off of "Jay Walking") It's "Imam Square Vs Times Square" http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=231547&title=jason-jones-behind-the-veil

Video: Jon Stewart presents quite the direct lambasting of the NYT at their headquarters - "like a walking Colonial Williamsburg."

They say that many people now get much of their news from satire. Which might make you wonder where they get their satire from. However, researchers at the Ohio State University wanted to get into the bowels of the political satire phenomenon and were perhaps a little surprised at how it is all being digested. They subjected 332 people of varying political bents to a three-minute clip of "The Colbert Report." They then produced their own report, fetchingly entitled "Political Ideology and The Motivation to See What You Want to See in the Colbert Report." The guinea pigs were flawless...

please add some diggs

Monday, April 13, 2009 BREITBART: Jon Stewart and Kumar go to D.C. Andrew Breitbart On Tuesday night I was bestowed the honor of being ridiculed on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart. The segment in which I was featured had Mr. Stewart mocking those of us who dare criticize the new president. In the era of Obama, mainstream American political humor is now officially on the defensive. Stewart lumped me with Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Rep. Michele Bachmann, Minnesota Republican — a cross section of people you might expect to be critical of an administration implementing...

This was no April Fool’s joke. In the first two minutes of The Daily Show on Wednesday night, Comedy Central host Jon Stewart made angry faces and told Rush Limbaugh to "Get the f— out of here." He was channeling his inner Olbermann. After playing audio of Limbaugh saying he was leaving due to "absurd" New York tax hikes, Stewart angrily yelled "Finally!" to the screams of his whipped-up but always obedient liberal studio audience. He exclaimed: "For years, for years, for years, New Yorkers have done everything in our power to get this guy to leave town!" These included:...

Remember When SNL Was Funny? Obama Ushers in New Era of Comedic Irresponsibility Everyone knows the old axiom about comedy. There’s always a grain of truth in that which an audience finds funny. Done well, comedy can make you squirm with its raw honesty. It has the power to inform our perspectives about politics and news just as any good journalist. Comedy helps provide insight into human flaws just as any good psychologist. Often self-deprecating and socially awkward, comedians themselves will deny their impact. Most comedians and writers prefer to think of themselves as lovable class clowns – laughing on...

...A serious man needs a serious mission, however, and this is suddenly a problem. With Bush gone and the Republican Party in chaos, most of Stewart’s targets have disappeared. Yet rather than pivot with the times and challenge those now in power, Stewart continues to attack the same old enemies, at this point mostly straw men and pipsqueaks. A couple of weeks ago, he spent an entire seven minutes mocking the crowd at a CPAC conference. His studio audience loved it, though that isn’t saying much. Stewart’s audience would erupt if he read the phone book, or did his monologue...

Like most writers, I dream of writing a bestseller. In recent days, there’s been an added dimension to this dream. I’d like the book to be popular enough to merit an appearance on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show. When he asks me a question, I want to take the opportunity to tell him exactly what I think of his show and tell him to stop hurting America. This stunt would be the same one that Stewart pulled in 2004, when he was given the opportunity to appear on CNN’s Crossfire to promote his book and instead decided to rip the...

There is a virtual ban on criticism of him in the press. Uncritical praise corrupts absolutely. Jon Stewart’s recent attack on CNBC’s Jim Cramer was so brilliantly performed, so smoothly produced and cruelly compelling, almost nobody noticed that it didn’t make sense. The climax came as Stewart put up a number of grainy clips of Cramer describing how to artificially (and unethically) depress a company’s stock price. The video was damning. Cramer looked sweaty. Stewart summed up the significance of what Cramer had said on the tape: “You can draw a straight line from those shenanigans to the stuff that...

- Big Hollywood - http://bighollywood.breitbart.com - Stewart, Santelli And SarcasmPosted By Dan Gifford On March 12, 2009 @ 6:27 am In Celebrity News, Political Humor, Politics | 195 Comments [1] Something didn’t sound quite right when I listened [2] to Jon Stewart’s set-up for his sarcastic blast of CNBC’s Rick Santelli as a hypocrite who thinks federal bailout money for corporate America is just fine while a helping hand from Uncle Sam (a bailout by another name) for strapped mortgage holders isn’t. So I reverted to the method I’d come to rely on while an investigative reporter when I could...

FRIDAY'S GREGALOGUE: JIM CRAMER ON THE DAILY SHOW So, what's the difference between Jon Stewart and a cat? A cat licks its own ass. But Jon Stewart has people to do that for him. Like Jim Cramer on last night's show.Now, I'm not a Cramer fan. Sure, he makes stupid financial predictions on an obscure network, but if you're taking his advice, you're probably more of an idiot than he is.But still - did you see the poor guy last night? After his stupid feud with Stewart had been simmering for a week, Cramer was now meek as a...

It was supposed to be a moment of high drama – when Comedy Central “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart faced off with CNBC “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer. But it wasn’t a fight, it was more of a beating. The “comedian,” as Cramer recently called him, repeatedly bashed the financial network and its star host in a segment called “Brawl Street.” The week-long feud began when CNBC reporter Rick Santelli canceled his scheduled appearance on the March 5 “The Daily Show,” which led to a scathing attack on the entire CNBC network, and Cramer taking a few jabs in return....

Fishbowl NY has a new online poll: "Both Senator Barack Obama and William Kristol made appearances on the Daily Show this week. Who was better?" As I type, Obama is losing 64 percent to 36 percent. This is one election I'm sure we can win. Vote here.

Today I received the following email via Facebook from Dan Mitchell, a New York Times reporter. It was a reaction to my appearance last night on the satirical news show, “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” On the show I talked about community organizing, ACORN, electoral fraud and related matters. Mr. Mitchell wrote: I notice that you have a picture of you and Oliver there. This seems to be fairly common among people who have humiliated themselves before millions of people on shows like the Daily Show -- they pretend they were in on the whole thing and it's all...

Satirical news program The Daily Show with Jon Stewart aired a segment Monday night poking fun at supporters at political rallies, including the Oct. 14 rally in Scranton for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Correspondent John Oliver is seen interviewing several Republican supporters from the Scranton rally, who express the false belief that Mr. Obama is a Muslim. The segment also features a rally elsewhere for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee. One unidentified woman wearing a "Scranton (loves) Sarah" shirt is shown saying about Mr. Obama: "I think he's going to put a turban on, and he's going...

IT’S been more than eight years since “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” made its first foray into presidential politics with the presciently named Indecision 2000, and the difference in the show’s approach to its coverage then and now provides a tongue-in-cheek measure of the show’s striking evolution. In 1999, the “Daily Show” correspondent Steve Carell struggled to talk his way off Senator John McCain’s overflow press bus — “a repository for outcasts, misfits and journalistic bottom-feeders” — and onto the actual Straight Talk Express, while at the 2000 Republican Convention Mr. Stewart self-deprecatingly promised exclusive coverage of “all the...

"Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough slammed the "hacks" at "The Daily Show" on Wednesday for only making fun of Republicans and giving a free pass to Democrats. Discussing a July 15 New York Times piece that described how TV comics and talk show hosts are hesitant to make fun of Barack Obama, Scarborough mocked, "I never want to hear anybody from 'The Daily Show' or any of these other shows ever saying again, 'We speak truth to power.' 'Cause you know what they do? They speak truth to Republicans." After admitting that Republicans have made many mistakes over the last...

Howard Dean appeared on the Daily Show and said definitively that the Michigan and Florida delegations will be seated. (H/t Scott Jacobs.) The video is here. Representative quotes: STEWART: If I were designing a plan to submarine your chances, and again, you don’t have to follow my advice here, I would take the state that was, let’s say crucial to the Republican election chances — lets, let’s call it Florida — and I would find a way to insult them. Maybe not seat them at the convention, that sort of thing. Then I would pick a Rust Belt state, maybe...

http://www.indecision2008.com/blog.jhtml?c=v&t=31343&m=105088 As commenter RedRover on Free Republic, the granddaddy of 'em all, put it: OMG that's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time - and on The Daily Show!? Oooh, someone's gonna have his raisins freeze-dried over this! Well, RedRover, that someone, unfortunately, was me. And even for a liberal with very small raisins to begin with, getting them freeze-dried was no picnic. But at least now I can surrender to terrorism with no second-guessing with and whine at a frequency you would never believe.

The Daily Show threw down the hammer on Code Pink and their idiocy on the streets of Berkeley. Take a look! (video link)

Jon Stewart: One of the downsides of having an all-volunteer military is that you need people to volunteer. It’s not usually a huge problem, you just have to ask nicely. But some people don’t want to hear the question. Rob Riggle has more. Rob Riggle (VO): The United States Marine Corps has fought in countless battles over the years. From Iowa Jima to Khe Sanh to the Battle of Fallujah. But today the Corps faces its toughest fight yet. Tape, Berkeley City Council meeting (woman): The Marines ought to have better sense than to come here. Rob Riggle (VO): Yes,...

It's not often you see Jon Stewart's left-leaning "Daily Show" make segments satirizing sacred cows of the left so enjoy this rare one starring fake correspondent Rob Riggle, a former active duty Marine, who went to Berkeley, California to cover the protests launched by left-wingers against a Marine recruiting center

This edition of the DUmmie FUnnies is in a bit different format from normal. The reason why is I want all my DUFU fans to savor the very public destruction of Chris Matthews at the hands of Jon Stewart on the Daily Show as you can see in this VIDEO. The purpose of Matthews' appearance on Comedy Central's The Daily Show was to promote his book, "Life's A Campaign" in which Matthews suggest we can use phony politicians' tricks to get ahead in life. Matthews must have thought he would get a friendly reception from Stewart. If so, then...

Talk about a case of false bravado! Just about everybody who watched the recent Comedy Central book interview (video) of Chris Matthews by Jon Stewart about Matthews' book, "Life's A Campaign," agrees that it was complete disaster for Matthews who exclaimed at one point, "This is the worst!" The opinion that Matthews came off horribly is almost universally shared by all observers whether conservative or liberal. However, Matthews himself is now claiming that everybody else is all wrong about that interview as you can see at the tail end of an Examiner.com article about the 10th year anniversary party for Hardball: On a...

See the video here. Also, see the transcript here. Now for the main story:Jon Stewart Dismantles Chris MathewsIf you have ever bemoaned the turn Matthews -- a former newspaperman -- has taken in recent years, you have to check out what happened on "The Daily Show" on Tuesday night. Matthews called it "the worst interview ever." By Greg Mitchell (October 03, 2007) -- You may find this hard to believe, but there was a time when TV gasbag Chris Matthews was a respectable hard news reporter. He worked in Washington, D.C. for the San Francisco Examiner from 1987 to around...

'The Daily Show' host displays distorted view of the American economy in interview with Alan Greenspan. By Jeff Poor Business & Media Institute 9/19/2007 There’s a reason they call the fake news “fake.” At no other time was it clearer why shows like “The Daily Show” are fake news than when host Jon Stewart interviewed former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan on September 18. Greenspan was on the “The Daily Show” to discuss his new book, “The Age of Turbulence.” However, Stewart was more interested in discussing economic fundamentals and the action of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by...

NEW YORK (AP) - "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," whose phony news coverage has long included phony "remotes" from war-torn Iraq , will be reporting from Iraq for real next week. Giving its green screen a temporary rest, the Comedy Central series will air "Operation Silent Thunder: `The Daily Show' in Iraq," several onsite dispatches filed by Senior War Correspondent Rob Riggle. Riggle will provide what the network calls "in-depth coverage and insights from the front lines." Scheduled to be back in New York this weekend, he begins his reports as soon as Monday. ("The Daily Show" airs Monday...

NEW YORK (AP) - Four presidential candidates are lined up to visit Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show" over the next three weeks as Comedy Central's satirical news review ramps up its "Indecision 2008" coverage. Sen. Joseph Biden, the Delaware Democrat, is first up this Wednesday. Biden appeared on "The Daily Show" last winter on the day he announced his candidacy. Republican John McCain makes his 10th appearance on Aug. 16, followed by another Republican, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson, on Aug. 20. On Aug. 22, Democratic contender Barack Obama comes back to the show for a second time, his...

The third episode of “The America Show” is viewable on YouTube.

I just noticed that Joe Biden is the scheduled guest on Jon Stewart's show tonight. I don't normally watch this program, but am eager to see how Biden spins his Obama remarks. I believe the show is taped at 6PM and airs @ 11PM ET on Comedy Central.

BAGHDAD, Oct. 23 — Nearly every night here for the past month, Iraqis weary of the tumult around them have been turning on the television to watch a wacky-looking man with a giant Afro wig and star-shaped glasses deliver the grim news of the day. In a recent episode, the host, Saaed Khalifa, reported that Iraq’s Ministry of Water and Sewage had decided to change its name to simply the Ministry of Sewage — because it had given up on the water part. In another episode, he jubilantly declared that “Rums bin Feld” had announced American troops were leaving the...

These past couple of weeks, a very strange program has appeared on Australian television screens. Billed as "comedy", the 'Daily Show - Global Edition' is almost as funny as a night in the backroom of the local funeral home. It's host, Jon Stewart, sits at a desk for 30 minutes making gratuitously insulting comments about President Bush, Veep Cheney, the GOP and anyone who supports them. This is "comedy"??? Who is this Jon Stewart clown? More to the point, what the hell's he doing clogging up our TV programming?

I find it funny how the liberal left is always accusing those of us on the right of fear mongering. Well, here is the Jon Stewart of the Daily Show giving them a little of their own medicine. (Click here to view)

Normally Jon Stewart makes my skin crawl, but he is really funny in this one a gets some good digs at CNN. Click HERE to see the video

First off, I ’m a big fan of your show. Until you came on the scene, nobody thought politics could be funny. Yet you made it hysterical.You are an innovator in your field and I have the utmost respect for your accomplishments. Hell, I even bought a copy of Naked Pictures of Famous People. However, I do have one small bone to pick with you.

Those familiar with Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" - featuring comedian Jon Stewart - will no doubt be familiar with the show's bias against Operation Iraqi Freedom and the efforts of the Bush Administration to combat Islamic terrorism in the Middle East. But even Stewart and company couldn't deny the progress being made in northern Iraq. The 3 Iraqi provinces that make up Iraqi Kurdistan have built a peaceful democracy modeled after Western nations. Not one single Coalition soldier has been killed in Iraqi Kurdistan. No westerners have been kidnapped. And just this past week, Iraqi Kurdistan's regional government passed...

Two political scientists found that young people who watch Stewart's faux news program, "The Daily Show," develop cynical views about politics and politicians that could lead them to just say no to voting. Comedian and fake-news anchorman Jon Stewart makes the already cynical viewers of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" even more cynical -- and possibly less likely to vote, two political scientists at East Carolina That's particularly dismaying news because the show is hugely popular among college students, many of whom already don't bother to cast ballots. Jody Baumgartner and Jonathan S. Morris of East Carolina University said previous...

Saddam General Georges Sada On The Daily Show; Says WMDS Existed, Were Moved (VIDEO) (Hat Tip: Instapundit) General Georges Sada, who served under the command of Saddam Hussein, appeared on The Daily Show last night to discuss his new book “Saddam’s Secrets“: In his book and on The Daily Show, Sada says that Weapons of Mass Destruction existed, however they were moved to Syria prior to the American invasion in 2003. Stewart asks how he knows this; was it by documents or video, Sada responds: “I was the number two man in the air force�....

Jon Stewart played it right down the middle, avoiding sharp political humor, steering clear of biting industry riffs and even firing off some one liners that could have easily have been said by consummate emcee Bob Hope. In doing so Stewart ignored the advice of political guru Karl Rove: Shore up the base. Viewers of his popular "Daily Show" may have been a little put off that he was so restrained, even though one of the reasons he was picked as host was precisely because he had that political sensibility in a year of socially conscious movies. Led by an...
