I'm really waiting for his time to be up. He's annoying. He doesn't understand much of what he makes fun of. His show isn't nearly as smart and informative as his fans say it is. He is also putting out political opinions that he doesn't have to defend because they're masked as humor. If someone calls him on something that's wrong, they simply have no sense of humor. That's a low tactic.

Well, I gracefully and completely disagree with you. On his show he more or less highlights everything that is wrong with our current situation, our current government giving him no shortage of "material" but off of his set and on other shows on CNN, MSNBC, and the other respected news networks he is intelligent and unabashed when confronted with a hard issue. He is the most watched newscaster, and i do consider him one, for young adults, 18-25. Most 18-25 year olds I know don't watch anything but Jon Stewert. So, I think that he is not only responsible for making the media more interesting but bringing it to an audience that otherwise wouldn't have been exposed to it.

That's one of the biggest reasons why I despise the show. An information monoculture is a BAD thing.
Also, most news isn't entertaining. Attempts to make it entertaining usually come at the expense of accuracy and journalistic integrity. By creating the expectation that news should be entertaining, people tend to ignore important news that isn't entertaining. That's dangerous. How many of you outside of the nerd world have heard that the European Union is threatening to break DNS if the US doesn't yield control to an international body that the EU approves of? It's a stupid political pissing match with serious implications, but it's not something that is particularly interesting.

Perhaps it is time to whip out the old agree to disagree thing.
I think, and this is my opinion, that by presenting the news, not altering it, in an entertaining way he is informing the populace that may not want to hear what is happening in their world from Bill O'reilly.

can't we all just get along?

What's the point in discussing things if people don't disagree?

it was a joke will...sometimes people like to make jokes

Well, while I agree on the need for differences of opinion in any organized society, I will also say that this is a moot point.
I am sure I can never convince you that Jon Stewert is a national treasure.
And you cannot convince me of his incompetance.
So, good day good sir.

Jon Stewart's Daily Show makes me laugh... and frequently, for that matter. Therefore, I have nothing wrong with it.

What spin! :)
Statements without anything to back them up. You should be a campaign manager. You're pretty good.
Instead of making a statement like, Stewart is politically savy and for evidence of this, one need look no further than when Bill O'Reilly came on his show and (without any jokes) Stewart pushed him so far up against the wall he ended up speechless and in another room, or when Stewart went on Crossfire and (without any jokes or the setting of his own audience and show) ripped Tucker Carlson so bad that not only couldn't Carlson adequately come up with any rational defense for himself, but his show ended up getting canceled and he got fired.
I agree that people shouldn't have just one news source, but if they're only going to have a few, The Daily Show should be one of them.
That show has no reason to fear the government (unlike the networks and newspapers) and, therefore, it is one of the only TRUE watchdogs out there anymore.
Peace
