5. Good question. The left is in trouble. There's progressive radio, the FSTV (Free Speech TV)

Channel online or through Dish and Direct, that has incredible talker genius Thom Hartmann's daily program, Amy Goodman with the Democracy Now! program, Mike Papantonio's 'Ring of Fire' and documentaries.
And some of MSNBC, Ed Schultz, Rachel, MHP. But no savy satirists in the group.
LEE CAMP is a cool, younger guy who does comedy and politics; and TYT-The Young Turks, with Cenk Ugher. That's all I know...

How will America get its news without Jon Stewart? [View all] valerief Feb 2015 OP

We have Oliver and Wilmore, and whoever replaces Jon. arcane1 Feb 2015 #1

True. I like Oliver and Wilmore. Not sure if TDS will survive. My guess is Stewart valerief Feb 2015 #3

Whatever else happens, I hope he goes out with all guns blazing from here! arcane1 Feb 2015 #13

I don't think Wilmore survives Stewarts departure Renew Deal Feb 2015 #7

I don't follow. Jon is leaving because Larry's show won't survive without Jon? arcane1 Feb 2015 #11

No, Jon is leaving because Wilmores show was going to be cancelled. Renew Deal Feb 2015 #12

why would stewart leave because another comic's show was going to be cancelled? ND-Dem Feb 2015 #18

Probably because he launched Wilmore's show; Wilmore was one of his proteges. haele Feb 2015 #32

That makes no sense. arcane1 Feb 2015 #20

Wilmore will be cancelled? But his show is terrific. nt valerief Feb 2015 #22

And for those without HBO, Oliver puts the big segments on YouTube. NuclearDem Feb 2015 #25

I haz a sad, too, valerief dixiegrrrrl Feb 2015 #2

Agreed! nt valerief Feb 2015 #10

i thought colbert was now letterman? ND-Dem Feb 2015 #4

Yes, but I wonder how much political news he'll provide on that show. valerief Feb 2015 #8

I think it will be harder to be political, but i think he still will in some respect -- maybe the ND-Dem Feb 2015 #16

Good question. The left is in trouble. There's progressive radio, the FSTV (Free Speech TV) appalachiablue Feb 2015 #5

DUers know who you mention, but the great masses know Jon Stewart only for real news valerief Feb 2015 #9

Yep Stewart is a real gift, for cable or anywhere. Maybe he'll come back, do something. appalachiablue Feb 2015 #14

Rarely watched either of those shows. bigwillq Feb 2015 #6

The daily show was slipping for the last several years musiclawyer Feb 2015 #15

i always thought stewart was kind of a fraud, for those reasons. i actually thought ND-Dem Feb 2015 #17

I prefer Colbert, because he's more all-round talented, but I like both. nt valerief Feb 2015 #24

Good question MFrohike Feb 2015 #19

Currently I am watching Larry Wilmore and John Oliver but not TDS Bluenorthwest Feb 2015 #21

Good grief! HappyMe Feb 2015 #23

Too bad John Fugelberg (Sp?) has his own show now. He would make an excellent replacement for jwirr Feb 2015 #26

He's terrific! nt valerief Feb 2015 #28

If the writers remain, the shows will go on. ksoze Feb 2015 #27

True, but I don't think Craig Kilborn could come back and replace Stewart, despite all the valerief Feb 2015 #30

How about Keith Olbermann as a replacement? muntrv Feb 2015 #29

Love it!!!! valerief Feb 2015 #31

I love Keith but I think he would have a hard time becoming a comedian instead of the serious jwirr Feb 2015 #33
