Forgive me sire, it was not the intention of this humble jester to offend you.

Let me get this straight Chip. A liberal leaning comedian with a funny popular show is actually, insiduously, a cultural tough guy enforcer for a larger left wing conspiracy to silent dissent? Hehe...

OK, as nutty as this sounds to someone like me, let's pretend it's true for the sake of argument. The show still needs to be funny to work - and it is. Really funny. So what is the crux of your critique? That his timing is questionable? So what if it is? The show is still funny and the essence of his argument, that CNBC failed in it's stated mission, is still correct.

So what really are you saying? That he edits his own show to make himself look better? Woah, shocker. That he doesn't think he should be held to the same objectivist standards as, like, real journalists? Do you? Really? He's not a comedian?

I'm not sure you really have a point here.

And if it's true that he is crushing Obama dissenters then why didn't he take down Krugman - who has been pretty consistently critical of Obama for over two years - when he was on the show recently? Is it because Krugman's a card carrying liberal? Well guess who else is... Cramer!

That's the gist of it... although you should remember that it's "patriotic dissent". As we all remember from the Bush years, being critical of our leaders is our duty as Americans.

Also Krugman's criticism of Obama is from Obama's left - something Stewart probably agrees with. To them the danger is that Obama is not Leftist enough. Santelli and Cramer were coming from Obama's right which is a completely different thing to a committed socialist like Stewie.

committed socialists don't make 14$mill a year ;).

What if someone not to the left and not to the right but dead center criticized him? You know, someone just like him? :thumb:

well, he is left of center, and he does use the "i'm just a comedian" cop out too quickly (if he's just a comedian, why take CNBC to task like that? and it's not like this is the first societal issue he's done this on (crossfire etc)).
