The transcript: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0410/15/cf.01.html the video: I couldn't link the link properly, so go here: http://www.ninjatune.net/forum/ and look for the thread "jon stewart vs crossfire".

Seamo Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Holy sh!t, what a couple of crazies! I don't think that anything got accomplished on that segment and Stewart was thoroughly unimpressed and frustrated. If that's any indication of how that show works, no wonder Stewart wanted to come and say the things he did. Seamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 has there been any backlash? That was incredible. Jon Stewart is the man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skanktuary Posted October 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 I don't think so, not on cnn anyways. I'm sure they'd prefer if the whole incident was quickly forgotten. Hopefully this clip gets around the web enough and gets some exposure. It's sad that someone as well known as Jon Stewart can trash mainstream media on cnn and the whole thing goes relatively undetected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I have always loved watching the Daily Show, but that clip really increased the amount of respect I have for Jon Stewart. It's very rare that anyone in TV Land can speak their mind truthfully. Usually it's a case of the guest kissing the ass of the hosts show "Thanks for having me on your show. I love the program and think you're the absolute greatest." Might Jon Stewart actually be the one that saves America? Thanks for posting that. Incredible.

scottieking Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 THAT WAS SO AWESOME. Can Jon Stewart get any cooler? Tucker:"You aren't as funny/entertaining here as you are on your own show .." Stewart " You're as big a dick in real life" or something like that. Watch it now.

Mr. Musicface Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Jon Stewart on the Daily Show last night: "How was your weekend? Hmmm, I had a pretty good Friday... got a haircut... called a guy a dick on national television..." He is my hero. - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 yeah, for a second there, I thought Jon was going to apologize. I don't know why I thought that, but he basically continued calling them idiots last night. "THEIR SHOW STILL BLOWS" ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 That video was superb. On the link that KevO posted I noticed the story wa spicked up in Salon and a couple other online news sites. The more the merrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 One thing that did freak me out a bit last night was Ed Koch saying he was supporting Bush even though "I don't agree with him on a single domestic policy issue that I'm aware of" because the war on terror trumps all. And Koch is still a pretty smart guy IMHO (other than that.)- M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I saw that last night, too - but I like Republicans like him. I understand them (even if I don't agree with them). At least his support of Bush is over something truly valid, rather than because he's a religious right-wing fanatic, like so many other Republicans. Why aren't there more intelligent Republicans?Or, a better question perhaps would be, why doesn't the media put more intelligent Republicans on the air?

Mr. Musicface Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 That was EXACTLY Stewart's point on Crossfire. There are intelligent people on both sides with good opinions, but everything is reduced to partisanism and name-calling. That's what he meant by the fact that those kind of shows are "hurting America". - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple foot Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 that was great. I love how they challanged stewart for not asking kerry tough questions. less than two weeks until a new president!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
