Jon Stewart Slams Fox News for Their Dumb “Reporting” on Mike Brown Shooting

The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart was back to form last night when he took on the crazies at Fox News for their stupidity and their comical reporting on the tragic events in Ferguson MO over the last few weeks, when an unarmed teenager was massacred by police.

Now there were many areas where Fox’s stupidity prevailed, but Stewart zeroed in on Bill O’Reilly’s decision to break his vacation to comment on Mike Brown’s shooting, and Stewart also focused on Sean Hannity – the stupidity is abundant with this guy folks – and Hannity’s idiotic statement saying, that if he found himself in the same situation as Mike Brown, he would just raised his shirt to show the cop that he didn’t have a gun.

“You really do have no f*cking idea, do you?” Jon said. “If only Michael Brown, instead of holding his hands over his head, had reached down to his waist and lifted up his shirt to show the gun he did not actually have, well, this whole tragedy could have been avoided.”

Stewart then went on to explain the difference between Blacks and Whites in this country, and how they are treated. To illustrate, he shared that a white “The Daily Show” producer clad in “homeless elf attire” once went out in New York City to tape an interview, accompanied by a black correspondent for the show dressed in a well-tailored suit. The black correspondent was the one stopped when entering the building.

“Race is there, and it is a constant,” Stewart said. “You’re tired of hearing about it? Imagine how f*cking exhausting it is living it.”

Jon Stewart Slams John McCain – Challenges Him to A “Wrong Off” – Video

What’s a “Wrong Off” you ask? Well, it’s where opposite sides come together and point out areas where the other side have said something that turned out to be wrong. In this case, Jon Stewart is challenging Republican Senator John McCain because in an interview on Sunday, McCain threw the first hit at Stewart, implying that no one cares or pays attention to Stewart because Stewart is often wrong on the issues.

Stewart took offense to McCain’s statement and the challenge was born.

Will the Republican Senator accept the challenge? Don’t bet on it! He already know he would lose against Stewart. After all, Stewart is not exactly Fox News!

Hillary Clinton Kinda Answers the Question About Running For President in 2016

Hillary Clinton appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to promote her new book, “Hard Choices.” Stewart however, had other more pressing things to talk about and got straight to the point.

“I think I speak for everybody when I say, ‘No one cares,'” Stewart said, referring to Clinton’s book. “They just want to know if you are running for President.”

“Jon, I was going to make an announcement, but you kind of spoiled it,” she responded.

Stewart pushed a little more and asked the former Secretary of State a few questions to determine what she would possibly be doing in 2016. Questions like whether she likes to commute to work or prefers a home office. Clinton answered home office. Stewart asked about her preference for offices, whether she prefers an office with or without corners. Clinton responded jokingly that she prefers an office with “fewer corners,” a clear reference to the Oval Office in the White House.

“So it sounds like to me, if I may, you have declared your candidacy,” Stewart said.

Bowe Bergdahl Politics

Jon Stewart to Fox – If Bowe’s Father Was on Duck Dynasty, “you’d like him just f*cking fine” – Video

The hypocrites over at Fox News. Remember them? They are the ones who formed the Republican coalition around Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty a few months ago when they thought he was being unfairly treated by the left winged media.

Fox News and the Republicans loved Phil Robertson and his Duck Dynasty crew. The defended them as brave capitalist, patriotic Americans, even inviting a member of the show to the president’s State of the Union Address… beard and all. But yesterday, Fox stooped to a new low when they picked on the father of Bowe Bergdahl calling him a Taliban because of his beard. A beard he grew in support of his son who was held in captivity by the Taliban.

Said Fox host Brian Kilmeade, “I mean, he says he was growing his beard because his son was in captivity. Well, your son’s out now. So if you really don’t — no longer look like a member of the Taliban, you don’t have to look like a member of the Taliban. Are you out of razors?”

Jon Stewart had something to say about that new level of hypocrisy.

“Well, that got ugly fast,” Stewart said. “First of all, who the f*ck are you to judge what a guy does if he thinks it might help him get his son back? And I don’t want to complicate your hatred of facial hair there, friend, but my guess is if you gave Bob Berg-dahl a bandana and a duck, you’d like him just f*cking fine.”

Michelle Obama Politics

Jon Stewart Smacks Rush Limbaugh with #F*@KYOURUSH Hashtag – Video

The Republican darlings like Rush Limbaugh and the cast at Fox News, have beaten up on Michelle Obama ever since the First Lady joined the crusade to bring more attention to the over 300 kidnapped girls in Nigeria.

But I’m really not telling you anything new here. Republicans have worked hard to develop a reputation of being against anything the Obamas are for. So when Michelle Obama posted a photo of her holding up a sign with the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls, it was just a matter of time before the Republicans, led by their mightily heavy leader Rush Limbaugh, jumped on their Obama hating bandwagon.

Apparently, it makes good sense and politics to these Republicans to show the world that they are against someone who is trying to bring more publicity to the three hundred young girls kidnapped in Nigeria.

Jon Stewart of the Daily Show took note if this.

“See that’s the thing about hashtag activism. It cannot force a crazy person to do something. But it can shame a less crazy person into not doing nothing,” Stewart said on “The Daily Show,” referencing Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan’s decision to let foreign countries aid in the search for the missing girls.

“Whilst apparently driving a medium crazy person crazier,” Stewart continued, cutting to a clip of Limbaugh bashing the #GetBackOurGirls campaign.

In the clip, Limbaugh railed against Michelle Obama as “pathetic,” lamenting that people will probably criticize him for not trying to help the kidnapped girls.

“You know what Rush, you’re right. Sometimes the world has to choose sides. Let’s see our choices,” Stewart said before flashing pictures of Malala Yousafzai, who posted a photo to Twitter with the hashtag, and Limbaugh.

“So that’s our choice: Malala or Rush, the quivering rage heap who is apparently desperately trying to extinguish any remaining molecule of humanity that might still reside in the Chernobyl-esque superfund cleanup site that was his soul.”

He then tells viewers to tweet their votes to “#F*@KYOURUSH.”

Benghazi Benghazi hypocrites

Jon Stewart Slams The Fox Hypocrites On Their Benghazi Fascination – Video

Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazi! It the cry of the right-wing media led by Fox News and parroted by Congressional Republicans like John Boehner and Darrell Issa!

But who was screaming Iraq! Iraq! Iraq! Oh, you don’t remember Iraq? That’s the war Bush and Cheney led the United States into, based solely on a lie, a made up story, falsehoods, intentionally telling inaccurate information with the intent to deceive, you know, liar liar pants on fire!

Yes, that war.

So back to my question. Who exactly from the right-wing media was screaming from the hilltops that we need to bring out troops home, as they dropped one by one in the fields of Iraq? Was Fox, or anyone in the conservative media, or anyone in th Republican congress denouncing the lies that started a war that ended up killing hundreds of thousands of people?

No. Their voices of dissent were nowhere to be heard. As a matter of fact, they were the ones making excuses for why we were there in the first place. They were the ones defending the lies and the falsehoods and the made up stories, simply because… a Republican was in the White House.

These people are not “patriots!” When the troops – the true patriots – were dying by the thousands in a war started based on intentionally misleading information, these Republicans and their Fox News Republican media machine were the ones pushing for more patriots to die! For American troops to remain and continue the fight, simply because their ideology matched the people running the government.

Four people died in Benghazi. Yes, that too was a tragedy. But according to a phrase by President Obama, there is no there there, and continuing to beat this dead horse when you were silent when thousands more gave their lives because of your lies, is a tad bit hypocritical, don’t you think Fox News? Or maybe the question should be, do you think?

But I digress.

John Stewart made this video on the Fox and Republican hypocrites and their Benghazi fascination. “I commend you for finally getting in touch with your inner outrage, because if I remember correctly from the previous decade, it was an emotion you did not seem comfortable addressing or expressing,” he said.

Jon Stewart Smacks Down Bundy Defender Sean Hannity

Cliven Bundy has refused to pay fines to the federal government totalling $1 million dollars. Usually,  this would be an out cry to the so-called “Patriots” over at Fox News and the posse that supports them.

But since the the federal government is now managed by a Democrat in the White House named Barack Obama, Fox is now the head cheerleader as their posse take up arms to defend Bundy’s apparent right to cheat, you know,  FREEDOM!

Jon Stewart – the media voice of reason from Comedy Central – found this position from the “patriots” perplexing, and took on one of the leading pom pom wavers at Fox – Sean Hannity.

“It seems like something about this Bundy feller is blinding Hannity to all the things that would normally drive Hannity mad with rage,” Stewart said. “Is it the hat?”

Jon Stewart Explains How Brain Matter is Wasted on Republicans

Remember the ad where a Republican running for office took a gun an shot at a stack of papers he called Obamacare? As if shooting at the papers would magically make the law they hate disappear.

Well Jon Stewart took this ad and its underlining meaning to its logical conclusion – a hypothetical that spilling coffee on the 13th Amendment would reinstate slavery.

“Oh my God I spilled coffee on the 13th amendment. Black people are slaves again,” Stewart said.

A great way for Stewart to show the waste of brain matter when it comes to Republicans and their approach to thinking.

Stating that we’ve probably seen the limits of the Republican hate to Obamacare with their shooting ads, Stewart then shows just how far these Republicans could go.

Please, don’t give em any ideas.

Jon Stewart Calls Bullpuckie On Chris Christie’s BridgeGate Report – Video

The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart took apart New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for exonerating himself in the Bridgegate scandal, at the taxpayers’ expense, no less. After getting in a few shots at the media for their ridiculous claims that Christie’s “got his mojo back,” Stewart and his cohort, Samantha Bee slammed Christie and his fellow Republicans for heading to Las Vegas to kiss billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson’s ring.

Adelson wasn’t too happy with Christie for daring to use the words “occupied territory” during his speech at the event, which made Stewart wonder aloud how this happened.

STEWART: This is crazy. If Sheldon Adelson doesn’t approve of a term as widely accepted as occupied territories, what does he think is an acceptable term for that area? […]

When did the guy who makes Donald Trump’s hair look natural get veto power over every word Republicans say about Israel?

Breaking News – Senate Republicans Blocked Veterans Health Care

Of course this is not Breaking News, we’ve seen stuff like this happening all the time with these Republicans! Republicans have gunned for our veterans and anyone who does not have a LLC following their name. This week however, they blocked a veterans health bill because they claimed the needed a way to pay for it.

This latest Republican action against the veterans got Jon Stewart steamed… and confused!

Stewart pointed out many of these senators didn’t have a problem voting for Iraq War authorizations that cost quite a bit of money, but what really set him off was senators trying to attach an Iran sanctions amendment to the bill, with one complaining it’s the only way to get what they want. Stewart mockingly said, “You’re right, you’re the victim here, you’ve been denied something you need by an impersonal bureaucracy.”

He concluded by saying that on the “shame-ometer,” “I think these senators may have just tweeted out a picture of their enormous balls. Now can we kick them out?!”

Jon Stewart Takes On The Fox Network for Their “Black History Month” Coverage


In honor of Black History Month, Jon Stewart said it was time that some people got their facts straight on how history really went down.

Stewart called out Fox Business Network’s “tribute” to Black History Month Monday night by playing a clip of Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano claiming that President Lincoln hurt the nation by leading “the most murderous war in America” rather than letting slavery die a “natural” death. Napolitano argued that Lincoln should have tried “purchasing the slaves and then freeing them.”

Here’s how Stewart responded:

“Compensated emancipation, why didn’t Lincoln think of that!? What’s that? Oh, he did think of that? Oh! He spent most of 1862 trying to convince the border states of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and West Virginia to free their slaves in exchange for money and everybody said f*ck off…because it wasn’t economically feasible and the slave states had a deeply vested socio-political interest in maintaining a two-tiered culture based on cheap forced labor.”

Jon Stewart Takes on Proposed Ways-to-Hit-a-Child Bill in Kansas

House Bill 2699, introduced by Rep. Gail Finney, D-Wichita, would have allowed parents to hit children hard enough to leave redness or bruising. It also would have allowed parents to give permission to others, including caregivers or teachers, to spank their children.

In a statement posted on her website, Finney said the legislation “is not, as has been incorrectly reported, intended to legalize child abuse in Kansas.”

“Parental corporal discipline in Kansas, along with 49 other states, has always been permitted,” Finney said in the statement. “Unfortunately, Kansas has never affirmatively, expressly defined corporal discipline in Kansas statute, leaving the interpretation of that matter to administrative officials in the executive branch, law enforcement personnel, and the judicial branch.”

She said the bill was intended to “provide guidance to officials.

You’d be happy to know the bill is not going to be taken up by the House.
