The Daily Show: Q & O

From The Daily Show Feb. 1, 2010. Why is it we have to go to The Daily Show to get the best mash up and run down of what happened when the President made mental midgets out of the House Republicans at their retreat?

To answer a rhetorical question with another:

Why are 2 comedians (Stewart and Colbert) the most responsible journalists today?

the court jesters "journalists" but they do at least get the truth out there, which is better than you can say for most of them pretending to be "journalists" these days.

Colbert and Stewart have more fact in their humor than the "news" networks have "news" in their "news". Who are the jesters?

The better question would be: why are the rest of the so called "journalist" such a fucking ****s? Fuck the lot of them! :s

Edit: ****s get censored but not fuck? Lol :D

Wouldn't it be harder to make house republicans mental midgets at their advance?

Special because it highlights the lies Republican put out on a daily basis. Special because it points to narrative nature of Fox News. Not special because it gave CNN and MSNBC a pass.

In my view, MSNBC spends lots of time, which turns into money spent, creating narratives which betray President Obama losing the support of the total spectrum of his supporters. Even though MSNBC has threw back some of its sly attempts to kill some of Obama's base supporters, the "Ed" show stills holds a few special moments to take their pot shots.

With every special commentator in the political world, CNN will never stop their arrogant practice of being "the best in the phony business." In short, all of MSM needs to be exposed for their special brand of propaganda.

I agree about CNN. They and the other major networks (especially ABC) are incredibly biased. One of the valuable things Fox News does for the right is to make them look objective in comparison. But not about MSNBC. To the right MSNBC is just to the democrats what Fox is to the republicans. I don't think they are and if I'm understanding you correctly it sounds like you think they should be; just a cheer leader for Obama. If anything I wish MSNBC was MORE critical from a left wing perspective of Obama. But I think they go about as far as they can given that they are a corporate funded organization. For real criticism you have to look at sites like this and Democracy Now!. But back to MSNBC I think its important that they criique Obama and not just be cheer leaders.

If Obama made this a regular occurrence??? And if the Republicans say no, call them cowards. Look how silly their lies look when they get swatted away with a little common sense.

Of course, you gotta wonder why journalists don't point out the silliness every day, as part of their job. Call me a dreamer.

I have to wonder how many people in that room actually know what "Bolshevik" means???

lackies trying to make a few million peddling laughs that keep those too timid to turn off their teevees convinced this is all as contrived and scripted at both ends of his camera? Just asking?

republicans are stupid but their savyor frank luntz has taught them that if you put yourself in a situation where someone contradicts what they have said people will see it is bullshit and turn away from them.
In 1999 even C-Span quit having both sides of a subject on at the same time. Why? because republicans won't go on with anyone that dissagrees with them. Why? Because they are liars. The msm has aided by not asking the hard questions and going after an answer, but that to is by corporate design. The msm and the GOP are the enemy of America! We need to put an end to their involvement in our government. republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness!

To watch a craftsman eat the hamburgers and drink 140 milkshakes, this is what Obama meant by "This is an argument, issue.. I' am willing to have".

From me to you sir, Stay on your horse out in front of the Nation, leading.

My Pastor did a Sermon, some years ago on 10,000 punks (pardon the pun) about David and Goliath, I watched last year as these, want to be Conservatives and Republicans and the fixed channel, kept taunting the Democrats to come out and fight... well Obama is out and he's fighting and These inglorious bastards, don't much like it, they can't wait for him to go back to his quiet practical, let us be by-partisan, let us call you out and you don't respond days.

Now, Republicans are stuck in their try and failed ways, saying it’s not in there and he won’t let us in and were cut off, or out and the Nation knows the doors weren’t locked and it is in the Bills and the Conservative lied and didn’t even vote for there own weakening, watering down, slow drag amendments.

The Factual truth is still standing
