Nothing happened to Jon Stewart. He is terrific at exposing the corruption and hypocrisy of people he has ideological disagreements with (the right). Now that his ideological neighbors are doing the corruption and hypocrisy, he has nothing to say about it.

Same old J-Stew, his schtick just isn't relevant anymore when it isnt Bush, Cheney and a bunch of republicans destroying the country

We have seen this with many on the left, Michael Moore also comes to mind. Great with the 9/11 stuff during the Bush Era, but not so much on anything that was liberals fault that came afterwards

Almost NOBODY in the media believes in the principles they claim to be supporting, they believe in the politics of power played as a team sport. Our team good, other team evil and destroying the country. This just happened to coincide with the truth for a brief time the during Bush years, which made it appear Stewart was an upstanding teller of truths rather than a partisan shill practicing ideological warfare

Moreover, Jimmy Dore is always an attention whoring misinformation shitstain who has absolutely no interest in facts, or anything redeemable.

Jimmy Dore is always an attention whoring misinformation shitstain who has absolutely no interest in facts

I've never seen his show as I prefer my news in written form, but this seems highly unlikely to me. He is extremely far left, yet taking stances that are extremely unpopular among the majority of that group. It seems quite more likely he strongly believes what he is saying than that he would shill for republican talking points as a well known radical leftist

The left for the most part have dropped free speech and anti-military-interventionism from their platform, and refuse to recognize vaccination as a bodily autonomy issue, there are a few left that are still absolutist about freedom, including myself. Jimmy Dore strikes me as one of these also, like Taibbi, Johnstone, and a few others

If you listen to him you will see that he promotes misinformation that is spread primarily by the right, not the left. He uses the same talking points and so-called secret sources that the right use. The right are also criticizing military support for Ukraine. The right have been spreading the COVID hoax claims and anti-vax BS. Rachel Maddow was the last properly left-leaning commentator, and you easily contrast her amazing approaches with Dore's misinformation for the benefit of the .01% and the right.

Name something he lied about.

see the statement to which you respond

[–]Canbot 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Oh, you are a shill claiming that anything other than the civid lies spread by the media is misinformation.

Naturally you would be slandering anyone exposing the truth.

Rachel Maddow😂 God I hope you are joking, she is the left's version of Tucker Carlson

[–]knob 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

No - she didn't spread misinformation. She offered excellent reports.

'Disinformation and misinformation propaganda puppet' is literally Carlson's job description. No one knows what he actually believes, as he's 24/7 misinformation talking points for the right. Fox has done more damage to the US than most other corporations. Pesticides might rank that high.

Like that one time she said 'the vaccine literally stops transmission of the virus'

Oh heres some more from politifact

Good reference - though if I may: Fox news naturally wanted to attack Maddow for anything, including semantics. If she mistakenly overemphasized the effectiveness of the vaccine because she or her writers forgot to insert 'reduces' before 'transmission', then she's made a very common mistake that anyone can make. There isn't much of a difference betwen the two claims - to reduce or to stop transmission - but of course Fox works for the .01% assholes who wanted the virus to spread, so they had to do their jobs and attack this one mistake, claiming OUTRAGE and wanting an APOLOGY. Absolutely this is evidence of the over-the-top fuckery Fox did on a regular basis, pushing that big corp and .01% agenda. If she made one minor mistake in her several decades career, Fox is responsible for daily lies to the public for 40 years, promoting the lies of the GOP non-stop. Trump also copied Fox verbatim, as did Sinclair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtNyOzGogc. The number of lies Trump told numbered in the 10s of thousands, and were copy-pasta Fox talking, piped-in from the NY office (DC to NY to LA to DC). Seriously, we've been seriously fucked over in the US by Fox and the GOP, regardless of one's political opinions (I agree with the GOP on a number of issues, but their lies should catch up to them at some point. Lies aren't forgivable, and allow numerous corporate and wealthy abuses. Consider for example why we're not taxing the rich like we used to. Dems joined the GOP on that front.) mkay?

Knob, how many times have you taken shot?

[–]jamesK_3rd 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I'm good with it, so long as they're up to date on their jabs.

I read that access media reporter that got pericarditis and myocarditis from the common cold, but it neglected to mention if she was up to date on C19 jabs. Let's hope she isn't intentionally killing people by not being up to date on them.

The thing that happened with Jon Stewart is that he got old an hour media throws you out the back door when you get old the same thing is getting ready to happen with Rachel maddow and is also happened to Ellen DeGeneres when you start showing your age get out
