Comments for Jon Stewart Slams Fox News For Being an Appendage of the Republican Party »
Posted By Neophile 1 year, 3 months ago in NewsJon Stewart ripped the cable news networks Monday as a "brutish, slow-witted beast" and castigated Fox News in particular as " an appendage of the Republican Party." Amongst his targets: Karl Rove, 24 hour news networks creating false urgency - "the sense that everything is breaking news", and even his colleagues, late-night comics.

Absolutely agree. They should rename themelves the FOX Fiction and Entertainment Channel. A disclaimer every hour would be in order - "Any similarity between our "news" content and factual reporting or reality is purely coincidental and unintended."

Yes, I agree as well. Because we all know that is far worse for a network (like Fox) to be outwardly biased than it is for a network (like NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, etc.) to be covertly biased. Fox should never be viewed as parody.

That's amazingly ludicrous. The only way for a news station to be covertly bias is to report false news which is what FOX has done since they've got their license. All I've see from right wing nuts is comments on how the news media is bias yet doing Clinton's years in office there was no let up on negative reporting but Bush has committed one crime after another and he gets a pass. The only time it's reported in the news is when the Supreme Court hands down a defeat of Bush's criminal activity and then it's dropped like a hot potato. Bush took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and has broken one law after another. The president is not above the law.

Teech, I agree with you. All they are is an opinion station. All they give is their bias opinion of events and propaganda. If anyone doesn't believe they broadcast propaganda, look the word up in the dictionary.

As stated in the article, Obama could find a cure for cancer and FOX would spin it as an economic disaster.

fox news is not the number one news network for no reason... it is because they are in touch with the american people. something the others just don't understand. all you whiners and obama supporters who bash fox, have no credibility when it comes to knowing what is fair or not. you ramble the lies of the left, and then you actually start believing them.

It is incredible that many Americans get their news coverage from Faux News and when they are given evidence of the lies and distortions that Faux routinely dishes out they won't believe their lying eyes. It is a sad commentary about our nation that these folks are just fine with their delusional myopic spin of world and national news. And I guess these so called reporters and commentators at Faux News sleep very well each night knowing they pulled the wool over the gullible masses. It's easy in our capitalistic system to buy intergrity at Faux News.

To me part of the problem with the mainstream media is the fact that we have so many 24 hour news channels. They spend so much time "manufacturing" news that they don't report the actual news. I'm sick of all the shows like Hannity and Colms, or the O'Reilly factor rehashing, and over analyzing everything news story from their viewpoint and telling us what to think. We all need to just stop watching them and let them die.

I agree, and I say again, out of all the time these stations spend talking . . . by now every issue and position should be crystal clear. We should know every worthwhile detail about the candidates and their intentions. Still there is an element that swear they don't know Obama. All the think tanks that weigh in on policy, doability and effect, where most give Obama credit for the best judgment, we don't get that. All the issues are discussed but truth is avoided. We get that Right Wing family values, slight of hand, that should come from the church, preaching to the people, as a substitute for the duties of a fiscal and organizational manager heading a powerful nation that has to run departments and make policy keeping us safe and competitive.

Sad, but TRUE!! It's so strange that you would make that statement about people saying they don't "know" Obama!" I just told my best friend that if I hear someone say that again, I'll scream! Such a ridiculous statement. They have had the man under a microscope for the past 19 mos. They probably know how many times a day he relieves himself!! As far as I'm concerned, phrases like that, and "he's not a U.S. citizen," "he's a muslim," etc., etc., are just code words for "he's black and he needs to get back!" You can dress a pig in a ball gown, but it's STILL a pig!

Every time I think of the great disservice we may do our country by not voting for someone simply because he's of a different hue and familiar with several cultures, it makes me want to puke! Everybody in America knows how far this country has regressed in republican hands. To even consider a continuation of that is nothing short of sheer insanity and a death wish!

I loved it that he called someone on his show an pinhead for telling Ollielley that he misquoted someone, which he really had. Unreal.
I wonder what will happen to the network when the white house fax is no longer directly connected to the Faux newsroom. Porbably not much. They'll still blame every little thing that happnes on the terrorists, and the democrats. -

The difference is Jon, Stephen, and Bill, are COMEDIANS, while Fox frequently presents right-wing commentary as if it were news. Memos show maximizing the embarrassment of the left is the standard operating mode as is coordination of talking points with the white house. Of course, there is the gall to call themselves 'Fair and Balanced'.

Jon Stewart Calls Out Bush’s Rhetorical Bull$*#t
"As we noted last week, President Bush's rhetoric about the Congressional Iraq War spending bill is squarely at odds with the policy of his own Pentagon. In a speech delivered before a backdrop of military families, he had the audacity to claim that it was the Democrats who were keeping their loved ones in Iraq longer (despite a provision in the bill that mandated a one year leave period). The only problem is that Secretary Gates announced the very next day that he would be extending tours from 12 to 15 months. Last night Jon Stewart ripped into Bush good for this blatant act of manipulation and deceit."

Cris Mathews will ask anyone hard questions regardless of politics. I don't consider him as bias. Keith Olbermann now is a different story. I think his reason for commenting the way he does is because of his disgust of O'Reilly. Bad blood there.
As for FOX, there is no way they are fair and balance because if they disagree with the person they are interviewing they try to make him change his statement. That isn't reporting, that's trying to create news from false facts.

I watch CSpan or CNBC when I can. Do more than complain, send their ratings down, then they will get the hint of what News means. Fuel prices came down some, why? This happened without giving the oil companies more public land or freebies. How did all this come upon us and the News was to busy sniping on Obama? The economy, disaster preparedness, infrastructure, and more are going down and we hardly hear a balanced report for hours of repeating some negative spin on what Obam said. I think the story on McCain's houses is unnecessary too. We say that we don't know what Obama means by change and all the hours and hours of talk that is put out by these sources says, they are talking and saying nothing.

We need to hear more about the nation's condition and less about the candidates. If this is a republic and We the People are decision makers, sending our voice through the local to highest levels of government as to what we want done, then we need to know the real "State of the Union". The media still supposes we need a decider. Ask Obama or McCain, when that is not the right approach. We should have ideas that our form of government can sort through to come up with the best choice of the country. I think the Dems under Obama has a better feel for this than more of the 'Family Values' and 'Ra, Ra Conservatism at any cost' meaning ideology by the core group in the GOP. Tax cuts and no jobs, how does that help? From Reagan until now?? That silliness has had a chance. Now the Rich did get richer.

Jon Stewart is a liberal. Big surprise he slams the fairest network on TV. They always have both a democrat and republican to weigh in on a political story. They even waste their time bringing on even more liberal moonbats to try to show they are not biased. Jon Stewart has always been angry at Fox News because they refuse to fall in line with the rest of the left-wing media. Too bad Jon! Oh and by the way you are not funny. Yes, I am a college student in their 20's(Proud conservative), and I do not waste my time watching the The Daily Show.

I sure hope that it didn't take Jon Stewart to state the obvious, but then again knowing that Republicans don't have the cognitive ability to invent anything useful, maybe Jon Stewart was needed to do just that. Now that Karl Rove has plenty of time on his hands, I would expect Karl Rove to be receiving quite a few patents since to date he has ZERO, another indictment on his intelligence.

Actually I believe that Fox leans to the right MSNBC leans far to the left. Just look at Keith Olbermann. CNN is a little more centered. I actually catch all of them throughout the week but MSNBC is a joke because of how far left it is. Though I did like watching Scarborough Country when it was on MSNBC in the evenings. Now that Joe has his morning show I don't see it anymore. But even though Fox leans to the right they must be doing something correct because their rating blow away all the other cable news channels!

That is because these other networks are not all in the tank for President Obama. There is more truthful and more honest coverage on these networks, but there can also be republican slants to much that is reported by all these networks. They also sometimes just report the facts and then they are reporting the truth. That is what most viewers want to be told. So when Fox News lies and says horrible things about Democrats and about President Obama relentlessly there is a good chance that they are an appendage of the GOP. That is why most reasonable people see them for their republican views and republicans spin.

So I'm just saying, that when a network that is not American owned, and not even owned by a Christian tells us we should go to war for reasons that do not make sense then maybe we should question their motives. And maybe the next time they try and sell us a war we will know better.
I just don't understand how right-wing neocon Christian rednecks can so blindly follow a network that is not American or Christian owned. -

Jon Stewart's Daily Show rating just like the FORMER MSM RATINGS must be going down the drain because this guy is a comedian and knows nothing about politics or elementary education.He is just trying to survive with his lousy show and is the reason for an attack on the NEW MSM FOX CABLE NEWS [THE NO. 1 NEWS SOURCE IN THE US AND THE WORLD FOR 8 YEARS IN A ROW AND COUNTING], with audience ratings higher THAN ALL THE FORMER MSM AUDIENCE COMBINED.This is the only reason for all these bankrupt MSM companies,NY Times and Stewart's show for attacking FOX.

It is hard for me to understand why people would watch Fox News all the time. I check by there and enjoy Shepard Smith and the earlier day reports, but I am a loyal MSNBC fan with a little CNN & HLN. Fox News is working for the republican party and they are against the President who is trying to help us after eight years of Bush and Cheney and their republican tools tearing everything down and spending wildly, irresponsibly and corruptly. Now President Obama is spending on America to help Americans and that is unacceptable to selfish rich and selfish poor republicans.
