      Also worth noting that the networks they’re talking about like CNN and NBC absolutely did adopt the Fox News style partisanship once Trump came along. It’s maybe not as cynical and corrosive but now I can’t blame anyone for having trust issues with these networks. Just stick to Associated Press I guess

      I was mildly impressed with Wallace. He had many carefully laid traps, and didn't get thrown by Stewart like most people do. Stewart had to actually slow down to navigate things at multiple points to not get caught, whereas he usually dances all round folks so quickly they don't even realize they got got.
      On the other hand, Stewart walked right into the lion's den, and though he had to be careful it still was not a terribly difficult "battle."
      It was kind of like watching a top rated highschool basketball player face off against an NBA superstar.

    The simple fact that Chris Wallace repeatedly says Fox shows "the other side" is an open admission of Fox conservative bias. There is no "other side" if your business model is to tell the truth. Thank you Chris, for admitting Fox's blatant right-wing bias that they deny day in and day out.

      the thing is tho is that saying conersative wouldn't have even been that controversial cause a good chunk of the american population were conservative if not center right. "other side" to me sounds like a lot more far right values being subtly represented in the fox news broadcast but you can't say that cause then that gets too spicy for the general public. the reason fox news is more blatantly fascistic now in terms of rhetoric is because of what trump allowed to seep in to the mainstream political landscape

What comedians do is build a mirror and hold it to us and to the system and give us a perspective outside of both that highlights the absurdity of believing that system is for our benefit and believing that we're doing good by empowering certain aspects of that system when it's all the same system.

      RossKempOnYourMum01 Exactly. It’s also funny when the right criticizes people like Jon for mainly going after the right but it’s like... that’s where the comedy is though. The right has way more characters and ridiculous people who make ridicule statements. The left has gotten a little crazier in current times with the PC stuff but back around the time of this interview, there was no Herman Cain equivalent on the left. Remember that one conservative who said a raped woman’s body has a way of self-aborting a fetus so there’s no reason for abortion to be legal? How about Texas trying to teach creationism in the science class? How about a character like Alex Jones? There’s just a shit ton more crazy in the right so that’s naturally where the comedy is. So it’s also a fallacy when the right criticizes people like Stewart for not being 50/50 in their satire of both sides as well.

      He probably meant they tell both sides of the story, while others would only tell one. To be fair though, Wallace, Shep Smith (before he quit) and Neil Cavuto would be on the left edge of Fox, with Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson on the right edge, so you'd have to listen to different hosts to get both sides of anything.

      Chris Wallace's examples hurt the impact of what he was trying to say greatly and was a stupid move all-around, that being said I don't disagree with his main point at all. Stewart keeps using the word "idealogical" like its an antonym of partisan, when really since he has personal liberal ideologies its the exact same thing. There's a lot of history of the daily show, especially now under Trevor Noah, omitting and misrepresenting interviews and news stories to push a liberal agenda no question. Stewart is so intelligent though that it's basically impossible to catch him slipping up like that and he obviously didn't here.

      ​@@goodolarchie I disagree. Chris' argument from the very beginning was that Fox News is a counterweight to the leftward learnings of CNN, ABC and other MSM. I think if his argument wasn't evident 9 years ago, it is clearly evident today. CNN as an example, and even MSNBC, are clearly liberally biased news organizations, just as Fox News is clearly a conservatively biased news organization. The sad thing is that people today still refuse to see it - those who get their news from CNN and Fox News aren't just getting the news, they are getting the narrative. Fox News viewers can accept that, it's been the case for years, but CNN and other MSM viewers on the other hand can't. It's tough to fathom that the "news" they have been consuming all this time has been narrative all along.

The whole thing about the media being left-biased comes from a study done decades ago of news anchors. It wasn’t even about the news content which isn’t even controlled by those anchors. The right has been harping on about those results ever since despite the fact that the very same media outlets those anchors worked for are owned by the wealthy who predominantly vote/support Republicans. Do they give to Dems? Only when those Dems are aligned with their economic policies. The sad thing about the greed of the wealthy is that they can never tell when they’ve won, which is why we have greater inequality today than the French did during their revolution.

I firmly believe that NO candidate could possibly stand up to Mr. Stewart in any political arena. Jon's breadth and depth of knowledge, coupled with his good humor and real likeability, would make him an unstoppable force that would have a real chance of uniting (some) people that would otherwise never consider working together for the greater good.

Stewart quickly detected that Wallace's strategy was to overwhelm Stewart with data points and put him on the defensive. And he refused to play along. He insisted upon discussing each data point in depth. I like and respect Chris Wallace, but it was disappointing to see him resort to that kind of "gotcha" approach. That said, I think Wallace knew Stewart would be a handful and that Wallace's only chance was to be hyper-prepared to maintain command of the conversation (which he ultimately failed to do).

      I think John Stewart is a genius too - but I don't think he had to rely on any genius to stand his ground here. The key is Stewart understands what he is doing and what his role is in the media. In contrast, main stream news programs don't understand why he is more popular than they are - but that shouldn't be their concern! The problem is the news will always get less ratings than entertainment programming - but no duh, that's cause entertainers are supposed to be entertaining! The news media is supposed be concerned with reporting ACCURATE FACTS and needs to stop worrying about being entertaining - they should leave that bit to professionals like Stewart. The moment the mainstream news media started caring too much about grabbing our attention with gimmicks and sensationalism was the moment we lost our faith in the news. And they wonder why echo chambers exist? Guess they finally learned how to tell a joke.

I was afraid of how he was going to answer and I was actually pleased that he answered as he did. I have always said that I would vote more for integrity than political positions, although these days the two seem to go ahead in hand. I just changed parties to Republican so I could vote against Trump in our state primary because I feel so powerless and feel the Democrats, in their inability to steer people away from Trump, are showing profound weakness which is deeply disturbing and I have deep dread about this election year.
