At least The Daily Show is honest about its agenda

Stewart has a level of integrity which might not be readily apparent to those who'd make superficial judgments based on his being on a comedy show.

What I love about this is that it puts Bill O'Reilley as a journalist. I thought he was a 'commentator'.

By the way, this comment of mine was not directed at you at all, chevydriver1123, but at the libs who, for example, scoffed at the John Edwards allegations because they were broken by the National Enquirer.

I think the general M.O. is to watch the Daily Show, and if interesting news segments pop up people will corroborate them with actual news reports.

You get your news from the National Enquirer.

Hatuey

A journalist? No. He isn't. He isn't even a commentator. He's a comedian with a show that makes fun of everything ON COMEDY CENTRAL not FOX NEWS. As opposed to O'Reilly. Who is part of a news organization so good at blurring the lines between journalism and the opinion of it's 'commentators' that it's clear that a lot of it's viewers can't seem to tell the difference in job description.

P/N

So you knocked the article for listing O'Reilly as a journalist, but you didn't knock it for listing Stewart as a journalist? Why is that Hatuey?

And for the record, I'm not one of the brain dead conservatives that post on here, so lighten up and give me a little more respect than what you did here. I know who Jon Stewart is (probably before you did seeing how I am 36 and you are 22), and I know what his show (launched in 1996 - you were what 10 then?) on Comedy Central (you were all of 3 years old when it launched as the Comedy Channel) is. I like the show and watch it when I can. Stewart and the writers for that show are very good.

And since you brought up a FOX News jab in your statement, how is FOX News any different from the other networks at blurring the line between journalism and commentators? I believe MSNBC does a great job at blurring the lines when it comes to Olbermann and Mathews. And what about CNN with Lou Dobbs? And you don't think there are mindless drones who just sit and watch MSNBC and believe every word that comes out of their mouths too? Give me a break Hatuey, you're better than this, or at least you have the potential to be. Next time you want to throw in your two cents, maybe you should pull your pants up, take a deep breath and come with something a little less weak next time.

I'm quite clear on the fact that he is a pundit and not a journalist. And...he makes mention of that fact quite often on his TV show.
