    Stewart, just another Libby/Progressive trying their best to portray conservatism as out of touch. Have you ever heard him articulate his stand on political issues and what he expects from this administration and what this country should be? He knows if he exposed his thinking and position he would be the joke.

      Pub, the same question has to be asked of you about Beck….

      By the way, I may not agree with Stewart’s politics, but I do find him funny a lot of the time. There are posters on this site that like to spew vitriol about someone they disagree with politically, it never wins the argument. Maybe we should just stick to the facts.

      But its SATIRE! The point isn’t to convince you with facts. That’s the whole problem–what Stewart does is satire, and it’s meant to be taken that way. Beck, however, seems to (or pretends to) take himself seriously. There is a big difference here.

    Stewart’s audience is made up of primarily people who Jay Leno interviews on Jaywalking. You know the people who don’t know where California is on a map etc. It’s unbelievable that in the 18-30 demographic, they think he is actually reporting serious news. Stewart and his sycophants can’t stand Glenn Becks influence and more importantly his ratings.

      Jon gets an average of nearly 2 million viewers per night. He’s a grad of William and Mary so he is not just a dumb comic or DJ. And your remark about the “jaywalking” mentality of his audience is way off. He is most popular on campus and with the educated. He ripped unions last night. Do you watch him or are you just mouthing what others say? He gives the POTUS no free pass either.

      Every serious media study has shown that Stewart‘s audience is better informed than O’Reilly’s. And O‘Reilley conceded the point the last time he was on Stewart’s show, and then went on to call them pin-heads anyway and clearly in jest. Media consultants will tell you that Stewart has a gold mine of an audience given their educational attainment, average income and relative youth. You’ve no idea what you are talking about.

A real leader knows when to step up just as much as he knows when to step out, and we are not quite there yet…but close. We have our “crier” in Glenn Beck doing a FANTASTIC job educating the masses and empowering them to peaceful action, but until the spit really hits the spam anyone who would step up would be pushed back down just as quickly and devoured as a charlatan.

      Our “leader” is letting the current environment weed out the suckers, the ones that lead for themselves not others, and when things get to a point where people will listen to orders, the person giving them better be placing his faith and guidance in the hands of the Lord or we have handed the anti-Christ the keys to the kingdom.

      Publius, Beck has always admitted that he is a capitalist. He also speaks his mind and has been attacked by Progressive media along with the presidents administration. They want to put him out of business, but he continues doing what he feels is right. The other funny thing is he has created jobs with his company, including this website. Why are you so upset with someone that is a capitalist and is creating jobs?

      We all know that Stewart is also a capitalist, he wouldn‘t be where he is now if he didn’t take advantage of the system just like Beck is.

      When it comes to “believe everything he says”, I can make the same general statement about Stewart and several of his progressive followers…. but I won’t, mostly because I would be going against what I just said in my first paragraph.

      If you ever listen to Glenn, you would hear him say “do your own research”. He has come right out and told his listeners not to believe him unless they go out and look this stuff up themselves. He has said to read Obama’s book, he has recommended books that aren’t inline with conservative beliefs along with books that are. I don’t have to believe everything he says, I can listen to his comments (and that is all it is, comments and opinion) and then do my own reading and research. He has never told anyone that what he says is gospel. I suggest listening to his show and finding out what he says on your own, I am not sure where you are getting your information.

      That’s fair to not want me to lump you in with “you folks.” That was overly broad, but I was also directing it more at the original comment and at those who make such comments. Since you came to FlameDone’s defense, I had assumed that you both felt the same way, I am sorry if I misrepresented your views.

      That said, I have listened to what Beck has to say on his shows and I have read things that he has written, and I can tell you he is the master of taking things out of context and drawing false conclusions that serve his political narrative. He may call for “research,” but all the research in the world won’t help if one begins from a false premise or insists on a non-sequitor.

      OK. On the charge of taking things out of context, you can take a look at this list:
      http://mediamatters.org/research/201007210005
      Of course, one has to acknowledge that mediamatters.org is notably a “progressive” site, but I think this list makes fairly objective and verifiable claims regarding comments that Beck has taken out of context. I’m glad that he has apologized at times, but an apology does not mean a whole lot when you keep doing it to score political points. If he wants to pretend he is a journalist and that he is offering reliable information, then he has a responsibility to consider context.

      This is one charge. The other would be regarding the outright stupid and offensive things that he has said. For example, saying that the President hates white people. This is an outrageous claim. Yes, he apologized, but any idiot knows he shouldn’t have said it in the first place. These are just a few of the greatest hits. Beck says these things to stir up trouble and increase his ratings, not because he has any honest love of he truth.

      Thanks for your link, I will take a look at it. First off, I don’t believe Beck has ever said he is a journalist, I believe he says the opposite, so for anyone to say he is trying to act like one is not paying attention.

      Regarding his hate white people line, yes, it was dumb. We have all said stupid things, there are plenty of people on both sides that have never, and will never, apologize for saying something stupid. I give Beck credit for apologizing for it, just as I have when Progressives apologize when they are wrong. If I didn’t give credit to both sides evenly, I would be a hypocrite right?

      Regarding scoring political points… who is he scoring points for? Which side? I have heard him interview politicians that call themselves conservative/Republican and he has ripped them up and down. Who is he scoring political points for? Please be specific.

      I agree that he does want to increase his ratings, but by stirring up trouble? If you are referring to him saying what he said about Obama and white people, then what you are saying is that he says that stuff on purpose to get ratings… I doubt you have facts that back that sort of supposition and conjecture up. It’s your opinion, not necessarily reality. Only Glenn knows the answer to that.

      “With a deadpan, Beck insists that he is not political: ‘I could give a flying crap about the political process.’ Making money, on the other hand, is to be taken very seriously, and controversy is its own coinage. ‘We’re an entertainment company,’ Beck says

      Notice where the quotations end Beck’s first sentence? The author interjects with his own opinion between Beck’s statement with:”Making money, on the other hand, is to be taken very seriously, and controversy is its own coinage.” That is not Beck saying that-The author was hoping that most people would not notice and perhaps he was right-most people that read at an 7th grade level or lower might not have noticed-and either you didn’t notice or you are trying to do the same thing that the author of that crappie story was trying to do. So quit insulting people’s intelligence.

      I see you came up with a link to media matters-I’ve seen the site before. Perhaps you should look into the history of the site and who it is funded by. If that’s who you work for then fine-at least admit it. Their ‘journalism has been called into question several times. The young turks is also a faux news organization that attempts to derail anything ‘not left’.

      MoeLarryCurly,
      I said this above, but I’ll say this again. The quotations are problematic, so I’ll admits that there may be problems with this attribution, but I was not assuming that you would think the unquoted parts of the text were Glenn himself. I assumed you knew basically how quotation marks worked, and I assumed too that you would not care too much about the commentary provided with the Beck quotes. Honestly, I don’t care about how this journalist thinks Glenn Beck feels about money; he clearly enjoys it, and I am not faulting him for it.

      The point is that Stewart and Beck are both entertainers. But while Stewart produces satire and critique that are not meant to comprise any kind of political doctrine (I certainly don’t see his work this way), the Beck has become some some bizarre political savior out to “restore honor” to the country. Guess what! I don’t think the country needs honor lessons from this clown.

      Puddinskins,
      No, I do not have the specific facts or quotes to prove that Beck says particular things to increase his ratings, but I think after a while we have to not be naive. Do you think that Howard Stern has said things on the radio to get publicity and increase his ratings? Yes. Glenn Beck and the other crazy guy, Ruch Limbaugh, do the same things. In the end, I have to think that they say things like “Obama hates white people” for the ratings, because otherwise it is just mind-numbingly stupid. Really, I’m probably giving him more credit than you are. And by political points, I mean stirring up anger against the president and any number of others for his own purposes (primary the mobilization of his own personal political “movement”).

      We know that Glenn Beck fake cries on national television for god sakes! This is a genuinely manipulative performance. In the end, Jon Stewart would not be faking tears on television. That’s the difference.

      OK. Let;s focus on Glenn Beck‘s fixation on reverend Jom Wallis’s “redistribution of wealth” quote. I think this is a good example, because not only does Beck take Wallis out of context, but it is also an example of how Beck also enjoys criticizing other people faith. You know, people who interpret Jesus to not be a champion of supply-side economics. Beck has commented on this exchange between Rev. Wallis and an interviewer:

      INTERVIEWER: Are you then calling for the redistribution of wealth in society?
      WALLIS: Absolutely. Without any hesitation. That’s what the gospel is about about.

      Sounds pretty damning, right? Beck claims that Wallis is talking about “forced” redistribution. Beck’s response:

      “BECK: He goes on to talk about the forced redistribution of wealth. Because when you just give, it’s just not enough.”

      So Wallis is a Marxist right? Well, to get this clip of Wallis he is responding to, Beck had to cut out the rest of that quote, specifically the three sentences that follow:

      “It’s about the rich moving into solidarity and a relationship with people who have been left out and left behind. The whole early church was those who were wealthy and those who were poor finding a new community. So, I see it all the time where people from middle-class backgrounds are having their lives transformed by their encounter with the poor in their neighborhoods or across the world and changing their lifestyle and their priorities because of that.”

      CLEARLY Wallis is talking about voluntary philanthropy; the kind of philanthropy that Conservatives celebrate all the time as the private sector at work. Government appears nowhere in what Wallis is talking about, nor is there any idea of “forced” redistribution. If you cannot see how the clip that Beck aired was deliberately manipulative and taken out of context, and how the rest of the Wallis quote dramatically changes our understanding, then I just don’t know what to tell you, because we’re entering “up is down” territory. Beck claims that all he has are Wallis’s words, but that does not stop him from altering them to fit the narrative he is trying to construct.

      The clip of Beck responding to Wallis:
      http://mediamatters.org/research/201004060065

      And yes, this is from Media Matters as well, but can you deny that these are Beck’s words? That this is Beck speaking? I don’t see how bias could be a factor here.

If so, you need to do your research! The man says it for himself, he doesn’t need GB to do it for him. I tried to find you a link but there are just too many to choose from. Go beyond mediamatters and other george soros funded organizations for a change though, maybe try reading Jim’s own words. Although, wallis did accept money from soros for his magazine….but I guess you already knew that.

      The point is that Beck LIED about what the quote was about. Plain and simple. Do you deny this?

      This is nothing more than the lefty losers getting together to try to get more people to watch stewart’s ridiculous spin. The left thinks that Stewart is their answer to Beck. Funny? I have to give him that….Shares the views of most normal people? NO. Their play book is so old and tired…. I kinda feel sorry for them.

      Although Jon Stewart was born Jon Stuart Leibowitz, his surname has since been officially changed to Stewart. My question would be why you thought Jon Leibowitz is the more important name. Perhaps you are a bit anti-semitic?

      Because it’s a stage name smart guy. Do you honestly think Jon Stewart is anti-semitic? Have you ever seen Jon Stewart ever come even close to denying being Jewish? I recommend you look up his pre-Daily Show standup video, “John Stewart: Unleavened.” Do I really need to continue explaining this?

      Oh pubispncilman…Your at it again. you can’t even get on here and take a joke. You buy into the poor article about Beck and try to push that crap around here-it was poorly written and it was pointed out to you before that the author was trying to interject his opinion-notice where the quotes start and stop. You have no sense of humor, and apparently no life. I notice that all you seem to do is berate the people who comment on here. Do you work for media matters or do you truly believe the crap that you spew?

      No sense of humor? You are mistaken my friend. Of course, you know nothing about me, but it would be silly if that stopped you.

      You are right that the quotes are a little suspicious, and I would not want to try to make a point by taking things out of context–that’s entirely the realm of Mr. Beck himself. However, do you deny that Mr. Beck is an entertainer with a responsibility to his sponsors?

      Jon Stewart is an entertainer, and he obviously has no trouble admitting it, so I have no idea where you are coming from Rock Knutne. Of course, Glenn Beck is also an entertainer, and he too will admit that. Take, for example, a profile for Forbes magazine (you know, the magazine that ran the D’Souza article) from this past April:

      “With a deadpan, Beck insists that he is not political: ‘I could give a flying crap about the political process.’ Making money, on the other hand, is to be taken very seriously, and controversy is its own coinage. ‘We’re an entertainment company,’ Beck says. He has managed to monetize virtually everything that comes out of his mouth.”

      So my question then is: how is it that you are so fully taken in by this huckster?

      I use to watch his show all the time….BUT… then I realized it should be called The Democratic Daily Show. He says he is a fake news reporter which he is…BUT, he is speaking about REAL news or his version of it… which is always the Democratic version. He seems to be making money off the Republicans accusing Glenn Beck of making money off the Democrats. I guess this is fair and then it is up to the individual which one they watch. I wonder who has the bigger audience?

      Hey PubliusPencilman, Maybe you should learn not to swallow every ything the media feeds YOU……If you did any research whatsoever, you would know that becks full statement was……..We are an entertainment company……But I happen to believe that the country is on fire…….Always good journalism to use a quote and leave out the “but” part. Like Sunstine said. Baaaa Baaaaaa…..PubliusPencilman, you are a sheep.

      MSNBCISCOMEDY,
      I appreciate your fact-checking, but you are wrong. The quote that I included is faithful to what was printed in Forbes and includes THAT entire quote. The “but” you are referring to is from a follow up interview, in which Beck stated:

      “[Tyler Perry] has the luxury of not doing the political stuff, which is really where I want to be as a company. I just happen to believe the Republic is on fire and it wouldn’t be as effective if I had Pluto come out with a cartoon fire hose to put it out.”

      So you are the one who is mistaken (you even misquote Beck!). Sorry, but it looks like you are the silly one here. So go ahead, sit back, and keep absorbing “the political stuff” that Beck is feeding you.

      He enjoys Beck. His satire is one of the best and he has a great team behind him. I never miss his show. He is liberal but better most of the other liberal talking heads.
