I do like the new hair.
 
He singles her out but the hypocrisy is from the entire gambit. What I mean is that anchors may not be voicing their true opinions every time they open their mouth, but opinions that appeal to a very targeted audience which is then quickly forgotten. Entertainment for the here and now. Unfortunately what was said last week quickly becomes irrelevant because of the context of the situation. Many conservatives will see that and go "so what", she is right - maternity leave is part of a civilized society - it just too her too long to realize it (regardless if Clinton was responsible for FMLA or not).

It will be a wonderful day for America when mainstream news orgs get labeled for what they really are...comedy entertainment.

I wonder if they are conscious of their hypocrisy when they commit it.
 
Am I the only one who noticed that under Newest Threads, this topic comes up as "John Stewart nails Megyn Kelly"?

Man would that have been a better story.
 
This goes to show just have far the thought process of the far right nutters has demented....that guy is a favorite on the cavuto and bulls and bears...he thinks maternity leave is a raquet...these clowns dont want anyone to get anything...they want women to go back to the days they worked the field until they baby was coming then they laid down and had the kid...then went back to work...

Megan has many times used the fox news far right mantra social security should be cut ..this should but this is for her...so this is fine...we all know you dont need 3 months...mothers in the past never had 3 weeks and their children bonded to them just perfect...like 4 of my 5 did for my wife...my wife never took 3 months and that was her choice...

And isn't it great that we have people like Stewart to point that hypocrisy out for all to see!
 
I love Jon Stewart. When he swings and connects, a home run every time. :mrgreen:
 
Hooray for fake liberals and phony journalism!

Hooray for illusionary freedom of the press and fake political rallies!

Jon Stewart defends George W. Bush on MSNBC



"Stewart said Bush "is not a war criminal," and said he believed the former president's assertions about Saddam Hussein's chemical and biological weapons programs prior to the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq were what Bush "truly believed" at the time.

"In contrast, host Rachel Maddow has in the past suggested that the Bush administration knowingly misled the American public about the imminent threat from Hussein's weapons program. She has also argued on air that U.S. actions during the Iraq war violated the Geneva Conventions, making the Commander-In-Chief, technically, a war criminal.

Jon Stewart behaves exactly like lamestream media pro-war hacks, and its not accidental.No war criminal in the WH, and he agreed yesterday with Sarah Palin, right wing hatespeech is not to blame for AZ shooting, just a "lone nut."Stewart has his lamestream media talking points all in order as he performs his role as $6 million dollar man for Uncle Sam.

Why the hell does he always kiss up to the NeoCons like Condi Rice?


Are politicians using the show for propaganda purposes?

He's sitting there, thinking like, "Yeah, I'll sit on the fence here, take my 6 million bucks a year, let the Oligarchs spew their disinfo and pro-war dogma pushing their crappy books like Oprah, while I sit and nod. But I'm too smart to vote and I'm above it all."

Stewarts brother is President of the New York Stock Exchange (he's got connections)



Stewart is making big bucks, reportedly 6 million a year and I think that colors his stance on the big issues, and he coddles govmnt leaders.

Julian Assange risked his life to get the truth about the wars to the American people and the world, but Stewart takes cheap shots at the guy?

SNL did cheap shots at Assange lately but Stewart said, “Transparency is a good thing, government wrongdoing should be ferreted out. Although, just because something is secret doesn’t necessarily mean it’s nefarious.” In sum, “an interesting yet less explosive and less than searing indictment.”

That's pure bullcrap and Stewart knows it.

Stewart went on, “The Pentagon Papers exposed blatant lies about how the government got us into the Vietnam War, how they continued to mislead us about the war’s progress, even the most cynical reading of these documents, I don’t think rises to that indictable level.”

Again, pure bull. Stewart is discounting blatant atrocities, lies and deceit by leaders and is just as relevant as Ellsberg.

American INGSOC and Rachel Maddow’s Upcoming “GOLDSTEIN!!” Moment

In the American INGSOC, the Two Minutes Hate has been extended to two hours this coming Monday night. Guess they needed more time for commercials.

Rachel (I wanna be Keith Olbermann) Maddow was just on Jon Stewart’s show plugging her upcoming MSNBC “fear the Tea Party” propaganda piece which will air prime-time Monday night. This interview between these two icons of the fake liberal media is a disgusting piece of blatant “progressive” propaganda, the timing of which is extremely suspect.

more censorship by fake liberals

"Well, then the Democratic Underground just whistles and looks the other way, pretending there isn’t a problem. Or, worse, they censor dissent, kicking people off their web site for daring to criticize Nancy Pelosi and praise Cindy Sheehan.

That’s what they did to the following video: They banned it from being shown on DemocraticUnderground.com. Open discussion of politics isn’t allowed there. It’s just a place for Democratic dittoheads to parrot the party line. How pathetic."



Democratic Underground Bans Cindy Sheehan Video » Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion


Rachel is just an electioneer for the Democrat Party [shill] and will waste hours to connive us into believing -

A. Af-Pak is a just cause to defeat Al-Queda

B. That Democrats deserve your vote

C. Obama change is real
