I have nothing to run away from, you leech. I stand by all I've said. You, on the other hand just showed your true colors, & its a sickly yellow-green, like cowardly shit.

Adios you snail. I have nothing more to say to you.

You, on the other hand, are going to have to live this one down because you wear 2 faces, my viper friend. I saw that many moons ago. You sell snake oil of the most toxic grade & then accuse others of doing so.

It happens, but we're talking about mainstream programming for the most part. These shows (Stewart and Fox etc) might outrage a slice of the population but most reasonable people just turn the channel if they don't like it. If enough people turn the channel, advertisers will abandon the program and the boycotters will claim victory when it was just the TV show running its course. Jumping the shark. If the message or content of the show is offensive, "quality" viewers will abandon the program and quality advertisers will follow. I don't know what is advertised on Jersey Shore but I'm sure it isn't Ameritrade. Probably Four Loko.

Its not about me, you viper. Its about YOU.

Just using Stewart because it was the topic show.  Not because of its values.

Then you also know that advertisers will pull their support when they disagree with a show's message or become pressured because of the threat of a boycott because of a show's message.

This is a universal truth so no need to specify Stewart... and advertisers don't give a shit what you say as long as the people in your target market will sit and watch you say it. It's not like they advertise viagra on the Golf Channel just because pfizer agrees with the Golf Channel's message.

No I do not watch Jon Stewart on a regular basis, but IIRC he maintains that he is only a comedy show and never tries to portray his show as real news.  That is what I had in mind when I made my remark.

Madison Avenue ?  That's all me.  Advertisers are what keeps Stewart on the air.  No advertisers, no show.  He would just be another Wayne's World without the support of Madison Avenue.

Q:  Do you ever watch a show and consider who the advertisers are that support the show you are watching ?

I channel surf back and forth between CNN, MSNBC and Fox sometimes just to see which advertisers their shows have in common and which are different.  It matters to me on a certain level.  I want to know who is paying for what I see.

I'm guessing you never watch the show because Jon Stewart says this almost every time he has a politician or a mainstream reporter on. Except for the Madison Avenue part. That makes no sense.

That says a lot about why we are in such a mess right now. 

When a comedy show becomes a primary news source, we are all in a heap of trouble.

Madison Avenue strikes again ...

Jon Stewart’s Ratings Are Now Higher Than All Of Fox News

I'm not going to be doing a blow by blow.  Bush stole the election was the heart and sole of everything leading up to that point.

As a news junkie who cut my teeth on Murrow, Cronkite, Huntley and Brinkley and McNeil/Lehrer from when it began as a half hour and Robin was young, to the present, I don't believe I am easily misled.

I can discern crap and read between the lines.  I rarely quote Fox, more the people on Fox.  However, I did go to Fox for the Japanese Tsunami and Nuclear disaster and am quite pleased to say that I was extremely well informed.  I did erroeously report a major aftershock that they put up as breaking news, but later found out that that was an error and did correct myself here.

Fox is my primary source politically, but I do not believe everything I hear, just as I began to fade away from McNeil/Lehrer some 10 years ago.  When someone like David Brooks is put up as a hardcore right winger for balance, well there goes their credibility.  Saying that Brooks is hard core right wing is like saying that Obama is a centrist.

And don't let me get started on George Will. 

I'll just quietly say that if we still had a draft, there would be a whole hell of a lot more people paying attention to what is really going on in this world of ours.  And someone like Obama would never have been elected, because people would have actually scrutinized the man, rarher than giving him an Ivy League pass and electing him for the sake of an "historic occasion".

But that's just me ...

Kurt, you focused on one aspect of the article. How about the rest? How many times have you quoted Fox, and now you can see how you were being manipulated.
