The Daily Show is a MUST see tonight. Seriously. Jon gets pissed.

[Bouncy Ball]

PISSED. You'll see when. He's criticizing the media when he gets really hot under the collar.

[Ekirh]

I was

just about to get on and say that. If you're not watching it... catch the replay tommorrow.. if you're in a different time zone.. I won't spoil.. but watch tonight. :)

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

7. Bravo to Jon for bringing that up! I'm glad he drew attention to

the bullshit that CNN, MSGOP (example: Tweety), etc. pull when they have on guests, and only one side (naturally, the rightwingers) gets their "side" in, and they cut off the opposition.

[Hippo_Tron]

1. LMAO Carol Lin, you're gonna call her on that, right?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Loved it!

Carol Lin is one of my most unfavorite mediawhores, and Jon totally let her have it.

[newsguyatl]

19. what did he say about her?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. He launched into a rant

after she and the other Lady of the Evening News decided they'd have their discussion about the TX anti-gay adoption law during the break. He said something to the effect of, "During the (bleeping) BREAK? What the (bleep), you're supposed to be NEWS ANCHORS!"

[MADem]

26. Small defense of Carol, though-- at least she said something

Without getting into an on-air catfight, she basically told her co-anchor, who had the lead doing that interview, in a nice way that she handled the interview poorly. She made the point without screaming "BULLSHIT!" and losing her job.

[Hippo_Tron]

27. No she didn't

She was just making some stupid comment.

[newsguyatl]

28. not sure what exactly

the show was referring to here, but i can tell you, carol is anything but a conservative.

[MADem]

29. She indicated that she had some issues with that story

..but that she wasn't going into it on air.

You'd have to be obtuse not to take her meaning.

[Lex]

33. Why not ask the lady who was lying what specific report she was

talking about. Or something.

Like Jon said, Expose their bullshit ON THE AIR! Not at the break.

Why give those liars a free ride and never challenge them for the facts?

That was Jon's point.

[MADem]

35. I underSTAND Jon's point, I'm not dull of comprehension

But we don't know what time constraints or network policy Carol was working under. It was NOT her interview, it was the other anchor's. And she at least indicated that she had ISSUES with the report.

The first and most culpable fucker in the whole piece was the one doing the shitty interview, who failed to follow up, challenge, or ask a halfway incisive question ... not the one who said, that sucks, and >>>I'll talk to you later.<<<

Forgive me for parsing!

[Lex]

36. Oh, sorry, I forgot about "network policy" and "time constraints"

and the whole thing about stepping on the other anchor's toes.

My goodness. I take it all back!

[Nite Owl]

2. Will make sure to catch

the rerun.

[deadparrot]

3. Yeah, he's just angry now.

No need to hide it anymore.

[RevCheesehead]

4. A true classic!

First he goes after the Fristians, and then the Fristians! :evilgrin:

[MADem]

5. One of the BEST. BEST. BEST!!!!!!! I have EVER SEEN!

Anyone who is a friend of the gay community will love it, as will anyone who finds the Talibanization of America appalling. The Microsoft and TX parenthood bits had me roaring....

No wonder people get their news from this show--it IS the news, in all its HORROR, told with a snarkiness that makes it palatable, understandable, and amusing...

Here comes the rapper...do watch, anyone reading, the rerun or later if you are in another time zone!

[countmyvote4real]

18. Excellent summary, MADem. I totally agree.

And I do get my TV news from TDS.

It's a sorry state when the weather report is the most reliable "news" from MSM these days.

[Lorien]

30. Can't afford cable

Jon is the one thing I really miss! :-(

[pookieblue]

8. Oh yeah

he was po'd tonight. I'm going to have to start taping the shows... tonights show was on fire!

[Bouncy Ball]

9. Again, seriously if it hasn't come on where you are yet

do NOT miss this one. I have not laughed so hard or been so angry in just the first 15 minutes of this show in a long-ass time.

And seeing Jon get THAT pissed off was so worth it.

[Floogeldy]

10. It's fuckin' great!

I'm loving it!

He slaughtered the Mega Church.

[Bouncy Ball]

11. And he slaughtered those CNN anchors.

God. I wish I had taped that. I want to watch it over and over. I NEVER say that about a show.

[RevCheesehead]

14. It repeats in 2 hours.

And at least twice tomorrow.

[politicat]

12. Ice Cube or Floyd Abrams episode?

[coffeenap]

16. Cube

[hfojvt]

13. of course, this is "impossible to see" TV

if you do not have cable or a dish. :banghead:

[Ekirh]

17. Chances.....

are someone will probably post a video of this somewhere. Usually if a Daily Show episode is damn good someone posts a clip of it on the net :).

[Mojambo]

20. Not so. If you don't mind filesharing via Bit Torrent

The Daily Show and many other great shows are uploaded daily.

http://www.btefnet.net/

[ghostsofgiants]

25. Beat me to it, haha

I didn't post the link though. Not sure if it was against rules or anything, haha.

[ghostsofgiants]

24. btefnet

Google it. First result.

Should be there in a couple of hours most likely.

The wonders of the internet.

If you aren't familiar with bittorrent, look that up first too.

[coffeenap]

15. Oh yeah--our family is cheering!!! Keep on yelling, Jon.

[Lex]

21. It was AWESOME. We erupted in applause at our house.

NOT to be missed.

I feel Jon's pain. I can't even watch CNN--that kind of shit happens all day long!

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

31. I did the same

It's getting so I can't eat during The Daily Show - I end up spraying food at the screen as I holler my approval (tonight's snack: baby carrots).

I couldn't love Jon Stewart any more than I already do.

[EstimatedProphet]

22. It's been damn good the last several weeks

and especially last night and tonight.
I was afraid for a while that the Daily Show was going to fold after the election-glad it's still going strong!

[Swamp Rat]

32. Great show.

I hope he ramps it up. The Daily Show is THE opposition to the corporate controlled media.

[ms liberty]

34. Awesomely Phenomenal!!!

This was the best Daily Show ever, and we'll probably be blessed with getting to see it in reruns regularly (PLEASE!!!). Those media fluff puppets are so trivial and useless, it makes me SOOO EFFING PISSED! I remember Cronkite, Huntley/Brinkley, Severeid...Real Journalists (more or less). Jon Stewart just encapsulated all my feelings in one short, succinct rant. Were it not for him, Olbermann, and Amy Goodman I'd probably have to shoot my TV and put it out of it's - and my - misery.

[RevCheesehead]

37. KICK - It's on NOW!

[redqueen]

38. That was fantastic... I wonder how many people ate that 'study' up.

"Good debate." Yeah, if you're an idiot whore, maybe.

[jpgray]

39. It really is a good one--try to catch the 7PM EST repeat

"Why don't you call them on their bullshit ON THE AIR? You're news anchors for fuck's sake!"

That was a great Daily Show moment. :D
