Did anyone see that DIPSHIT on Scarborough demanding that the Daily Show. . .

[wndycty]

. . .be fair and balanced? And then he questioned the Daily Show's credibility if they don't go after Democrats. Does he realize its a FAKE NEWS show? I about fell off of my chair. I hope to God Stewart does something with this.

ON EDIT: I just uploaded it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEWjSpV1Gps

Give it a few minutes to update.

1. I figured that the "fair and balance" would be the Colbert Report

[applegrove]

17. LOL. Fox isn't fair and balanced. It just claims to be. The Daily Show

is comedy and great comedy at that. They do make fun of Democrats when they do something stupid. Comedians always make fun of the President. That is their job.

[Montauk6]

30. I'll never forget the Golden LOL Moment

Jon Stewart incredulously reminding Paul Begala and Tucker Carlson that they are comparing Crossfire to a comedy show.

Also, do these heathens not remember how much fodder the Clinton Administration provided for comedy writers??? Hell, they're STILL doing Monica jokes almost 10 YEARS LATER!!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Yeah I can't wait to see this on the Daily Show

That guy was an ignorant twit.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

3. Yeah because of that "equal time" in media law. Oh yeah, never mind...

When some yutz like that DEMANDS FOX news be as tough on Republicans as on Democrats, maybe I'll listen to that guy.

[lonestarnot]

4. Geeze, I was going to go to bed early tonight...

guess not :shrug:

[Eric J in MN]

12. You can go to bed early tonight.

Firstly, the Daily Show probably taped before the guest on "Scarborough Country" made his strange remark.

Secondly, they don't often cover "Scarborough Country" on "The Daily Show."

[lonestarnot]

14. Yes you are right. But I bet tomorrow night as they (Jon's writers) pay attention

to the mentions

[Eric J in MN]

23. Most people aren't familiar with Bob Kohn. Including me.

It took me a while to find his name after hearing that strange remark.

It's not like if a famous pundit said something against "The Daily Show."

I doubt they'll cover it tomorrow night, but we'll find out in less than 24 hours.

[IndyOp]

5. Uh-oh... If Scarborough invites Jon on and challenges him on "fair & balanced"

then it will be ALL OVER for Scarborough Country! :applause:

"Crossfire" died asking Jon why Jon did not do more balanced journalism. Really, literally, the show was OVER the day Jon Stewart appeared. Watch here:

:kick:

[Balderdash]

10. That may have been Jons finest hour

Right after Jon was on Crossfire they pulled the plug on the show. I liked Jon before that but when he begged them to stop what they were doing, I became a lifelong fan of Jon Stewarts.

[Nickster]

6. Oh look, now they're doing the culture war segment. Look how terrible people

are nowadays compared to good ole yesteryear.

[LittleClarkie]

7. They always seem to have a problem with fake vs real

Fake cartoon characters, Murphy Brown, a fake news show. Easier than dealing with reality I guess.

[Drum]

11. As "V" said in the movie:

An artist uses a lie to tell the truth.

Some folks still don't get it! :shrug:

[Mz Pip]

8. Thing is

the Dems just don't provide all that much hilarious material.

To date the Repugs control everything. So it stands to reason that most of the good material would lie with them.

On second thought, maybe we all should be demanding that Rush be more fair and balanced. :rofl:

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Pilotguy]

9. What's with Scarborough lately...

his whole show is people commenting on clips from other shows.

[Eric J in MN]

13. If he followed "Countdown" by expressing a bunch of conservative opinions,

...most Countdown viewers wouldn't want to stay tuned for that.

But if he just introduces clips and asks guests to comment on them, they may stay tuned.

[walldude]

24. It's mostly Stewart.. Scarborough has some kind of wierd

obsession thing going with Jon. I beginning to think he may start stalking him. Whatever you do Jon, don't go in Scarborough's office alone ;)

[Bitwit1234]

15. So Any body listened to rush

how fair and balanced is he..................wonder why the republicans don't think he doesn't have to be...Isn't it odd. When you have a show that leans a little left the republicans scream and holler but they think

hannity, o'reilly and the rest of the Fox Boys, drudge, savage, malken, rush, scarbrough, matthews, tucker, beck, and the CNN cast are ALL FAIR AND BALANCED...DARN....

[sendero]

16. I have only one thing to say..

... to the imbecile.

FUCK YOU MORON.

[pepperbear]

18. but he DOES go after democrats....

hasn't anyone else ever seen him joke about how ineffectual and leaderless the dems had been? But the problem tere is that the GOP has just been COMEDY GOLD since MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

[RB TexLa]

19. Why would an opinion show be balanced

Joe's, Stewart's or any of them?

[Horse with no Name]

20. Well he kind of stumbled over his own stupidity at the end

When he demanded that "The Daily Show" be fair and balanced "comedy".
:rofl:
I almost fell out of my chair on that one.

[wndycty]

21. Kick for the addition of the video to the OP

:kick:

[Guaranteed]

22. Hey, you fucking ass: The Daily Show doesn't even CLAIM to be "fair and balanced"-

unlike some blatant propaganda networks out there.

[readmoreoften]

25. "If they are going to maintain their credibility as a fair and balanced source of comedy..."

:wtf:

Ah yes. Their comedy is no longer credible? What is BELIEVABLE comedy? Actually, come to think of it, I do find Fox News to be an incredible source of comedy.

[Lex]

26. Scarborough clearly has a long-standing man-crush on Jon Stewart

and I think he's just unravelling.

[symbolman]

27. Scarborough's ratings are in the dumper

so he uses Clips of other shows to bolster HIS.

Jon Stewart is keeping Scarborough ALIVE, and the Daily Show should tell their lawyers to tell MSNBC's lawyers to knock it off with the clips, as THAT is where they are making their INCOME, on the Back of the Daily Show..

Not first amendment stuff, it's bandwidth stealing IMHO :)

[G Hawes]

28. Hahahahaa!

give me a break - tell him to call a local wahhmbulance.

"Fair and balanced as a comedy show", he says?

Silliness, pure silliness.

What a moron.

[wndycty]

29. Tuesday morning kick

:kick:
