Jon Stewart Dissects The Michael Dunn Case and Verdict – Video


It was Jon Stewart’s turn to respond to the travesty that is the Michael Dunn verdict. Dunn, who drove up to, engaged in, shot 10 bullets into a car containing four teenagers and killing one of them in the process, was convicted over the weekend of trying to kill the teenagers, but received no conviction on the child he did kill.

Stewart began his piece reminding us of another Floridian case involving George Zimmerman, where he approached another innocent teenager, attacked and killed him. Justice for that teenager – Trayvon Martin – never materialized as his killer walked away a free man because his lawyer somehow convinced a jury that Martin attacked Zimmerman with a sidewalk.

The Jury bought it.

After fully dissecting the lies testimony of this second Floridian case involving Michael Dunn and the teenager he murdered – Jordan Davis – Stewart looked at the not guilty verdict and concluded that the apparent message Floridians wanted to convey was, “if you fire a gun, you better fucking hit somebody, ’cause if there’s one thing Floridians don’t tolerate, it’s survivors.”

He also brought correspondent Jessica Williams into the conversation. Williams had some recommendations for teenagers in Florida… black male teenagers that is, because based on these two cases and the outcome, black male teenagers in Florida are easily targeted. One of her recommendations was to ‘stay in school…” As in, stay indoors. Do not go outside!

Jessica concluded that the “Stand Your Ground Law” which helps these murders and murderers to walk free, cannot be used by black people. She says that the law works best for whites because it’s like bleach working wonders for whites,while destroying colors.

What Did Jon Stewart Say About Michael Sam’s Coming Out? – Video

A couple of days ago, college football star Michael Sam pronounced to the world that he was gay. Before Sam came out, his NFL prospects were extremely high, but since telling his ‘secret,’ people have already began forming their opinions on the player based on his sexual lifestyle.

So I ask…

What? You formed an opinion about Michael Sam without first hearing what Jon Stewart had to say?

How dare You!?!

Again! Comedian Jon Stewart Schools Seasoned “Journalists” on CBO Report

Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane… it’s… JON STEWART! The Comedian who does a better job reporting actual news than the so-called seasoned “journalists!”

Let the debunking begin!

Okay. Okay. This one was easy. The debunking in this case had to do with a recent CBO report that Conservatives and even some on CNN took and run with. The report claimed that because of Obamacare or the ACA, workers will now be free to leave some jobs to pursue other things, because they will no longer feel the need to work to keep healthcare.

Simple, right? Wrong.

Conservatives and Republicans took this report to claim that “Obamacare was killing the American dream.” They even went on to manufacture false statistics claiming that millions of people would lose their jobs because of Obamacare forcing them out of the jobs market.

Doomsday!

Jon Stewart, the comedian, set things straight… again!

Jon Stewart on Chris Christie – “That is some old-school New Jersey corruption” – Video

After scoffing at the allegations surrounding New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s (R) administration just two weeks ago, Daily Show host Jon Stewart changed his mind after hearing about Christie’s administration was accused of using Hurricane Sandy relief funds as political capital.

“Oh sh*t,” Stewart giggled. “That is some old-school New Jersey corruption: ‘Hey, nice city. Be a shame if anything happened to it.”

At the same time, Stewart was initially non-plussed by the federal lawsuit brought against former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) and his wife, Christine, for allegedly taking thousands of dollars in gifts and other favors from the head of a local dietary company.

“We’ve all seen this before,” he scoffed. “It explains the state’s new motto: ‘Virginia is for 10,000 milligrams of Niacin.’”

It wasn’t until he heard that the gifts included a lakehouse vacation — including the use of a $190,000 Ferrari — and 30 boxes of “an expensive anti-inflammatory” that Stewart perked up.

“Now you’re talking my language,” he woofed. “Thirty boxes of top-shelf, black-label anti-inflammatories. How does that backroom deal go down?”

Watch Stewart take on the dual controversies, as posted online on Wednesday, below.

Jon Stewart Takes on Freedom’s Ability to Contaminate Our Waters – Video

On his show Monday, Jon Stewart took on the toxic chemical spill in West Virginia and the unbelievable lack of security, and the even more unbelievable fact that a toxic chemical plant is located upstream of the drinking water. And if you think that is unbelievable, how about this… the toxic plant located upstream of a river used for human consumption was last inspected in 1991!

Now how unbelievable is that!

Why would you build your toxic chemical storage tanks, upstream… and drinking water adjacent? Although, I imagine, because it was in such a vulnerable position, it was highly regulated, this toxic chemical storage facility. As a matter of fact, from what I understand, these toxic chemical tanks have been inspected as recently as… uh…. 1991.

1991! That’s like six Batmans ago!

And the name of the company responsible for this toxic spill? FREEDOM Industries.

Jon Stewart – “The War on Christmas is Over, War on Carbon Begins”

On Monday’s episode of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart took on the Foxes in the henhouse, you know, the same folks whose only goal is making money, so they cloaked themselves in the light of a news organization to win the trust of millions.

I’m talking about Fox News. They have made their millions convincing their herds that there was a war on Christmas, now that it’s cold outside they’re cashing in on their war on facts. In this case, Global Warming.

“There you have it: ‘War on Christmas’ is over; ‘war on carbon’ begins,” Stewart said. “Global warming: Just one more liberal conspiracy. Because even though there is a great deal of scientific data establishing climate change trends. Even though many of the models of global warming predict more extremes of weather — not just warming — apparently decades of peer-reviewed scientific study can be, like a ficus plant, destroyed in one cold weekend.”

Stewart got particularly incensed at Fox News host Stuart Varney’s argument that a Russian research ship’s getting trapped in ice in Antartica proved the world was getting colder, which he punctuated with a blithe, “That’s just my opinion.”

“That’s just your opinion — your opinion,” Stewart raged. “It means nothing.”

Instead, Varney’s colleagues were turning to the likes of Donald Trump for “analysis,” much to Stewart’s chagrin.

“So global warming must be a hoax,” Stewart said sarcastically. “Because, I mean, Mr. Trump would never conceal bald-faced truth or go through any effort to hide when something’s clearly receding over the years.”

Jon Stewart Takes On Fox’s Assertion that Santa is White – Video

Yes folks, Santa and Jesus are white… according to the brains at Fox News!

Sidenote: I don’t know why we waste time with these airheads, but we do. And again, more time-wasting.

So earlier in the week, the brains at Fox News concluded that Santa Claus was a white man. Needless to say, this caused quite a stir in our shortsighted, cannot report real news… news media. So much attention came because of this statement, that the smart ones like Jon Stewart felt the need to put things in perspective.

Stewart pointed out the fact, based on Vatican’s findings, that St. Nicolas has his roots in a part of Greece that actually belongs to Turkey today. And with that fact, Stewart shows his rendition of what St Nicolas could have actually looked like – a dark-skinned man with a white beard.

“So who exactly is changing the facts to make themselves more comfortable here?” Stewart asked. “Actual St. Nicolas, well, my guess is there would be no Christmas if he looked like that dude, because he’s probably still on the no-fly list.”

Barack Obama Nelson Mandela Politics

Jon Stewart to the “Media” – “What The F*ck Is Wrong With Us?”

It was a memorial service for one of the most important man on the face of the earth. But if you listened to the American media earlier this week, the story was not about Mandela or his amazing accomplishments in ending Apartheid, or becoming South Africa’s first black president, or his underlining amazing quality of forgiveness. No. If you listened to the American media covering the Nelson Mandela memorial, all you heard was about a handshake between President Obama and Cuba’s Raúl Castro.

Or, and a selfie the President took.

This fact did not escape the watchful eyes of one of the most on-point media man in America, Jon Stewart.

Jon Stewart to Ignorant Santorum – “Obamacare is NOT Apartheid!”

Jon Stewart kicked off this week’s “Daily Show” by shedding light on some truly odd reactions that some folks had about the passing of Nelson Mandela — including at least one prominent Republican.

Newt Gingrich and Ted Cruz, to their credit, offered sincere notes of gratitude for the South African leader’s life work on their respective Facebook pages. What they did not expect, however, were the swift and racist reactions they saw from several of their fans. Example: “This clench-first gorilla [sic] warrior does not deserve respect from informed Americans,” one user wrote on Gingrich’s Facebook.

Stewart was hardly surprised by the outpouring of bile. “Of course, that’s why the Internet was invented,” he said. “To say hateful things with greater efficiency, reach and freedom to keep people from finding out how truly disgusting you are in your home. ‘I would never say those things, it was Dr. Awesomeballs69!'”

Racist Facebook fans are one thing, but Stewart could not let an actual Republicanleader off the hook so easily. Rick Santorum, appearing on “The O’Reilly Factor,” somehow equated apartheid, South Africa’s former system of segregation that Mandela helped end, to the Affordable Care Act.

“The systemic subjugation of a race of people is different than the establishment of subsidized insurance exchanges,” Stewart helpfully explained before channeling his inner Julie Andrews with a “Sound of Music” parody: “Obamacaaare is not apartheeeeeid!”

Jon Stewart Congratulates GOP’s “Old White Men” in Ending Racism

This is what Jon Stewart, host of the Jon Stewart Show on Comedy Central, said in a recently: “I have one source for news that I turn to more than any other: Twitter.”

I agree with Stewart on that point. Twitter and other social media networks have revolutionized how news and other information is distributed. But Stewart said something else I have to disagree with. “Cos I likes my news like I likes my ladies,” he said, “short and punchy and delivered second-hand by anonymous sociopaths.”

We’re not all sociopaths.

But my disagreement with Stewart was short-lived. Especially when he made the point to congratulate “old white men” in the Republican party for their role in ending racism. Stewart of course,  was basing his remarks on a tweet made by the Republican National Committee earlier this week, in which they came to the conclusion that racism in America, was over.

“It’s OVER!” Stewart exclaimed, “It’s official! Stick a fork in racism, it’s done!”

But Stewart’s excitement was also short-lived. Moments after the Republicans declared that racism was over, they issued another tweet stating that their proclamation was in fact, incorrect. Stewart took note of that too.

“You declare an end to racism and then three hours later, you start it again?” Stewart then equate the GOP’s back and forth on whether or not racism had ended to being “an Indian giver.”

Jon Stewart Slams Fox News’ “Medical Experts” on Obamacare

Jon Stewart looked at the new era in Obamacare reporting – From Medical Experts! He looked at the different cable news networks, and showed clips from their medical expeerts giving their professional opinion on Obamacare and its implementation… until he played a clip from a so-called expert on FOX!

Watch, as Stewart dissect the partisan bull coming from the Fox News experts.

Stewart’s conclusion? That medical advise is not the focus of Fox’s medical experts. These experts, as Stewart correctly summarized, “serve as a much more important purpose… to agree with Fox News talking points.”

Stewart later added, “these guys seems less like doctors and more like the shady expert witnesses paid by the defense, to say that the bullet hole, exit wound… I don’t know maybe that’s a third nipple!”

In other words, Fox so-called medical experts are full of it… with the ‘sh’ added in front of the ‘it.’

Jon Stewart – Republicans Are “Lying Like Motherfu*kers” About Obamacare – Video

You know it was just a matter of time before the most honest news reporter in today’s media got around to discussing President Obama’s claim, “if you like your insurance policy, you can keep it.” Jon Stewart of Comedy Central admitted that the president’s claim was “somewhat dishonest,” especially given the fact that a small portion of Americans with garbage insurance plans are forced to upgrade to better plans because of Obamacare.

But when Stewart looked at this dishonesty and compared it to what Republicans and the conservative media have said about Obamacare, Stewart concluded that Republicans are “lying like motherf*ckers!”

“Yes, the president has been somewhat dishonest about the promise of his health care program,” Stewart admitted. “But here’s the weird part — his opponents have been lying like motherf*ckers about its effects.”

Why don’t the real so-called reporters report the truth like a host at Comedy Central? This is why people are tuning in to a comedy station to get their news!
