The Governor of Illinois doesn't watch The Daily Show

Sorry, let's try that again. Here's the URL for the Daily Show interview with Rod Blagojevich.

Here's the URL for the Daily Show interview with Rod Blagojevich if you want to see it. I live in Illinois and personally loved seeing him make a fool of himself. I understand if he didn't know what the show was about but somebody on his staff had to know. Maybe they were in on the joke even if he wasn't.

Everyone is biased to some degree. Let it go dudes. John is cool, some people suck. And for those who suck, karma comes and kicks them in the ass. I definitely know something about that...

John Stewart is a Journalist and is not biased. If the Democrats controlled all the levers of power and were braking the law, were corrupt and were acting in a totally immoral and retarded fashion then you can be sure that the Daily Show would have just as much fun at the expense of the Democratic party.

Simply saying the emperor has no clothes does not make one biased - but it can be funny and it is real news.

The mainstream media and the Democrats have allowed this Orwellian nightmare to evolve and they take their hits on the show.

That leaves it to the American people - who are brain washed from birth - who have failed to demand truth over propoganda and myopic Jingoism.

So now you will all hate the messenger - since in the USA Truth is like water off a Duck's back. Any one who critizes the USA is merely labelled and the message is ignored.

I am a huge, (repeat: HUGE) Jon Stewart fan. I lead a flipping campaign to have him speak at my commencement ceremony (we had Maya Angelou instead). This said: he is a liar.

Whether he likes it or not, and whether his fans are willing to admit it, he is a journalist. Watch his interviews. They're funny, but he can take someone to task at any given moment. When he says, "I'm not a journalist" it reminds me of Charles Barkley saying, "I am not a role model". Both of them are wrong.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit that Blago didn't know that TDS is satirical and not a serious news show. He's fairly oblivious to a lot of what happens in Illinois. But he's much better than any of the GOP candidates in my state, so that's why I'm going to vote for him.

L'Emmerdeur ...read my post CAREFULLY ...I said for the "MOST PART" ...DOH ...what a surprise ...a doofus complaining about sentence structures on a blog but yet missed some operative words in a post ...complaining about grammar on the web, especially on a blog, is futile ...and yes all humans are bias in one way or another ...never said otherwise ...lol ...how you like my sentence structure now?

Reality check: Daily Show ratings do NOT bear out this iconic status. They simply don't. Just because some people are fans doesn't mean *all* people are fans. Being a huge fan of anything often crates a myopic point of view...but the truth is TDS ratings are pretty damn low.

All cable news ratings, satiracal or serious, are low. People like to think it;s a much bigger influence than it really is.

Sy: as opposed to an unbiased comedian?

You've never seen Stewart bash Democrats? EVER? Perhaps your inherent bias turns your sensory nodes off when he does so.

Also, don't accuse others of having something "seriously wrong" with them until you learn to structure proper sentences.

Wow, I guess the AOL contingent has finally arrived at Weblogs, Inc.

The only reason Jon Stewart is ever left holding the "journalist" ball is because the other journalists keep dropping it.
