It's a 5-part video of jon stewart on o'reillys show, and not the fox news edited version of it.

Jon steward gives a really level and realistic outlook on both candidates and many of the wedge issues. It's worth a watch just to get you "sky is falling" people back down to earth, if nothing else.

NOW I do believe also that the sky is falling, but not in the next 4 years, nor do I believe either candidate will have any impact on it, good or bad. More like either one will maintain the status-quo, which is essentially a downward spiral.


Steven Colbert is way funnier. Stewart is OK but sometimes he's just silly... I know he and OReilly had a row at one time... Reilly is intellectually superior to Jon Stewert, but Jon Stewert is better at Comedy...And Stewert even confessed openly that most of what they air is slop


O'reilly smarter than stewart? I doubt that, but I would welcome an IQ test on each of them :)

As far as stewarts show, he freely admits it's for comedic purpose, but also states that because it's political comedy, that they take careful steps to ensure their fact-checking is accurate, and they discuss that in the clips. Stewart really owns BO on just about everything discussed, which is why fox had to edit it so hard on the repeats of BO's show.

Here is a secret of the universe, Kramer... When we pit a conservative old man, against a liberal young man, we are reminded of the classic "Father/Son" model of rivalry. On the BO show, you typically don't have liberal audiences pasted to the TV. On the Stewart show, you typically don't have Conservatives pasted to the TV. If the 'Comedy Central Network' fancies itself as a liberal, cutting edge venue... who do you think was gonna win in terms of "popular" consensus? To say that Stewart owned BO is to say the resident of his own castle is the King...



Oreilly, being a previous teacher and a hard news reporter is conscientious about fact checking. To that end, he'll do the work himself if he has to (Cause he knows how to) . On the other hand...Stewart... Well ..he's just a comedian... (A silly one at that) . I much rather prefer George Carlin over Stewart any day...
