I've finally put this into words. (a rant about The Daily Show).

Sep 09, 2010 21:32

I watch The Daily Show, I enjoy The Daily Show, and I respect and admire The Daily Show. But I also realize that I shouln't count on them for news, or take everything Jon Stewart says at face value. And I realize that they are only humans, and therefore have faults, and make mistakes, just like everyone else.

Lately, I have seen a lot of people ( Read more... )

You make some very good and well-stated points, Louise. I'm in awe of how well you express yourself and how unafraid you are to express your opinions. You should really change that username of yours. ;)

Thank you sweetie, that means a lot.<3 I'm glad it wasn't totally off.<3

Anything I could say would be basically repeating bits of what you've said here. So I'm just gonna say I agree, very much. :)

WOW. Bra-vo! I don't understand all the Daily Show hate lately, I really really don't.

Regarding what you said about TDS being "easy" on Democrats: Jon really held Tim Kaine's feet to the fire last night. I think they hold the Dems to a higher standard because they expect them to be better, more responsible than the Republicans. And when they don't measure up, the TDS folks get angry. I think they take Dems to task just as often as they take Republicans to task.

Thank you bb! I understand it, I just don't want to be a part of it I guess:P Thanks for reading.<3
