Jon Stewart, Bully

Jon Stewart

Andrew Klavan  "But while The Daily Show’s behavior may not be surprising, it is kind of disgusting, isn’t it? Stewart is at the height of his career and in a position of power. For him to have his minions take action that costs a 23-year-old up-and-comer his representation is bullying, plain and simple."

Video: Jon Stewart: “The embarrassment is that I’m given credibility”  "His comments hit on a question I’ve had for quite some time. What is it that enables liberal journalists and artists — actors, authors, filmmakers, comedians, etc. — to escape the “liberal” adjective before their artistic title, whereas conservative journalists and artists are almost always labeled as such? “Oh, he’s a conservative comedian.” “Yeah, she’s a conservative blogger.”"

SAY WHAT? Fox News Is Biased ... and the Other Media Outlets Aren't?

The Daily Show  "Chris Wallace defends Fox News' Republican contributors, calls MSNBC biased, and asks Jon to come on his show."  And of course, he did. Last night.

Chris Wallace schools Jon Stewart. "As Jon Stewart demonstrates, over and over and over again; his repeated insisting that he wasn’t being ruled by his biases kind of lost power with every counter-example that Wallace put up on the screen. But then, it’s rare on television that people are actually grilled on things."

Well... give him a break. He's a comedian. "Really? He’s kidding, right? A president can’t do much to affect the economy? "

•Threatening small businesses – our main jobs generating machine – with tax hikes doesn’t affect the economy?
•Piling thousands of pages of new regulations in hundreds of new rulemaking processes doesn’t affect the economy?
•Having a president who has referred to the private sector as “the enemy” doesn’t affect the economy?
....
•Threatening American business with unneeded environmental regulations that will cost perhaps billions of dollars has no affect on the economy?
•Telling businesses that they are not going to be allowed to locate manufacturing facilities in states where workers cannot be forced to join unions won’t affect the economy?
•Pushing a bill that would allow unionization-by-intimidation in the private sector won’t affect the economy?
