Mzo, I'm always on-and-off. But yes, I did get it from Rezo, but thanks for the offer.
Regarding the clip (thanks Rezo), it's sad that the two men on Crossfire couldn't get that Jon Stewart's role on The Daily Show is simply a character.
That's hilarious, but I'm not sure what he's trying to say. Regis and Kelly are clearly not a hard hitting journalism show, they're entertainment. So he'll hold them up to the light but ignore his own soft questions? I think that's a bit of a double standard.
I've been downloading the file the dude at somethingawful.com was hosting, I was saying I hope I could fully download it because well....56k and all.Quote:

A compliment and a put-down all rolled into one.
True and I don't agree with him at all with "debate" shows in that format being no good. They have their pros and cons, but to say they don't hold politicians' feet to the fire is odd to me. But, this is the first time I've watched this CNN show, so I can't speak for it - I don't watch CNN. But, I can see it's in the format of Hannity & Colmes which I watch on FOX and Buchanan & Press for MSNBC. For those two, I can't really agree. It's the same deal. The guy on the Left attacks the guy on the Right and vice versa. They hold each others feet to the fire as well as the guests who are usually one of the two.Quote:

Well, that's why I friggin' watch 'em in the first place (and apparently Stewart continues to watch Crossfire but it's a grueling love/hate thing from what I gathered). The entertainment mixed in with discourse provides some motivation to tune in. If that's his problem and the shows changed, I think the viewership would drop off. I wanna see O'Reilly or Hannity dig into those that I'm personally opposed to ideologically. Learn something new, get a laugh in and go on. Just like a liberal enjoyed the guy on teh Right getting called a dick which I imagine was one of the reasons this video was brought to the board's attention.
Tucker Carlson is a dick. The fact that he was oblivious to exactly what type of show the Daily Show really is just made him look so stupid. He walked into every insult and coud do nothing but sit there and scowl at Stewart.
It was a joke. See, he said Kerry was fielding tough questions too, and the questions he was actually fielding weren't tough, so it's funny. Or it's supposed to be. That's all there was to it. I doubt the daily show was being critical of Regis and Kelly for not hitting Kerry with the hard questions.Quote:

Stewart didn't say much, but I think the bigger point is that they didn't let him. If someone goes on a debate show to debate the nature of the show then the hosts ought to take him to task. When they came back from the break the questions seemed like they were set up to switch gears from what he brought up in the first half =\
