'Go F*ck Yourselves!' Jon Stewart Demolishes the Media for Thinking His Comedy Damages Obama



VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/go-fck-yourselves-jon-stewart-demolishes-the-media-for-thinking-his-comedy-damages-obama/

Now that Jon Stewart has delivered a blistering takedown of the media, isn’t it really time for everyone in cable news to resign? No! But for some reason, the media loves talking about Obama “losing” Stewart, and Stewart had a few choice words for the apparently Stewart-obsessed media.

...masturbation (i.e. - 'Go F*ck Yourselves!') is the only thing that the media does these days. You know, as in: ''This is not the real thing -- just a simulation?

- Anyways, nobody should be watching teevee at all, unless it's their job and they're getting hazard pay.

Is he still doing plenty of stuff that I (and other progressives) disagree with? Sure. But IMO he's also shown a bit more of a backbone, and I can't help but think that has partly do with some of the criticism he's received from his left.

." Hoping Obama will be fooled in to thinking he should resign or something.


I watch it twice to catch the line about "otherwise people would channel their anger in to something productive". I think it was.
