Jon Stewart on Crossfire

This is the reason CNN's Crossfire is no longer on the air. Jon Stewart shows up these two ignorant political show hosts... 2 against 1, on their own show, and brings to light how these shows "Hurt America." Thank you Jon for always pointing out political hypocrisy. I hope continuing to broadcast this video helps your voice continue to be heard.

[@MrZaborskii]

​@@hugoboss8550 Trevor Noah's team simply doesn't do the same level of deep, thorough research that Jon Stewart's team was popular for. I used to learn things when I watched Jon Stewart. Things about VA backlogs and digitization, things about the Zadroga bill. Trevor, on the other hand: you could skim the headlines on Google News and learn everything of substance Trevor Noah was about to tell you. He's charming and funny, and his Between the Scenes segments are gold, but when people call Jon Stewart, "sharp," or "on point," I don't think they're referring to how funny or entertaining he was or how clever his take on today's headlines. At least for me, when I say stuff like "Jon Stewart was incredible, and we need someone like him," I'm talking about how Jon Stewart was always trying to take his opponents' side. In fact, he would continue trying to take their side -- researching their arguments -- until the absurdities piled up and it became clear that his subject was not even trying to take their own side. Once he reached that point, he would rip the person to shreds, but not a moment before. And he would get his material from someplace other than, "current, trending news."

[@seanmatthewking]

As much as I hate to say it, I think it’s a bit of a cop-out for Jon to use that excuse. He turned a comedy show into a show with integrity and a soul. The fact that they are a comedy show doesn’t mean they can’t be hard hitting, because they were in many instances. In Tucker’s part, he’s obviously deflecting, but he’s also right. Jon’s point is far more important, though.

We sit in the back and throw spitballs-but never forgetting that it is a luxury in this country that allows us to do that.
