Jon Stewart On Fox News Sunday

If you missed Jon Stewart on Fox News Sunday debating journalistic ethics and ideology with Chris Wallace — the least crazy guy at Fox News (which, to be fair is a little like saying the least on-fire guy inside the raging inferno) — do yourself a huge favor and un-miss it right quick.

(Reminder: Jon Stewart is a comedian. Chris Wallace is a reporter.)

Don't you think even Jon Stewart would have taken some flack if he had made similar deragotory comments about a black liberal politician and his literacy and/or lack of education?

I think he would.

And there is a difference on Fox, Wallace and Shepherd are news people, but many of the others like O' Reilly & Hannity are talk show hosts. Closer to Jon Stewart than Sam Donaldson.

Did you watch the entire 30-minute interview?

Did you take his "I don't like to read" as saying Cain was illiterate or uneducated? Really?

I thought it showed Cain's stated preference.

I not only watched it, I listened to it again on the radio. And I have to agree with Chris, while Stewart hides behind his comedian status, he loves that he is the number one cable source of news for lefties and young people.

And I think Stewart clearly meant to show Cain as an uneducated, illiterate "Negro".

I think he was just making fun of the fact Cain didn't want any bills over three pages.

Personally, I'd be happy if Cain felt the same way about tax returns.

Stewart didn't impersonate with malice, he wanted the laugh first, but he also wanted to imply that conservatives are simpletons who want easy to decipher legislation.

And personally I think a 3 page treaty would be easier to hold another country to than a 1000 page monstrosity like NAFTA eventually was.

Since he was talking about only ONE conservative who made that point abundantly clear, I will agree with you but I won't make the jump that implying ONE conservative means ALL conservatives.

What's your opinion of Cain's three-page rule suggestion?

REALLY, sorry gotta pull an archer, Source Please!
And IMO, if a white RIGHT-THINKING comic, made the same remake, they would never work again!
Double-standards shows it's ungly head once again! :bash

I believe the law school graduates in Congress write overly complex legislation in order to hide what they are trying to sneak past the public.

I believe you are giving them too much credit. It is there staffs huddled with lobbyists who write overly complex legislation in order to hide what they are trying to sneak past the public.

Congress then gets flash cards done in crayon to give them the talking points.
