Jon Stewart: Predictable, Even In His Dress

Phil Bronstein, the former San Francisco Chronicle editor who was attacked by a Komodo dragon while married to Sharon Stone, agrees with us: Jon Stewart coud use some new material. Says Phil: 'In a breakfast at the University of Denver, he's predictable. Yes, predictable! Right down to "the t-shirt, khaki pants and a healthy stubble" the Washington Post saw fit to note he was wearing. [...] What else did he say: Network newscasts are "obsolete." Cable TV news is a circus and Fox News is not "fair and balanced." Oh, and some journalists get too cozy with their subjects. [...] He also complains bitterly that Karl Rove is a TV analyst on cable but thinks James Carville is OK because he's not "passed off as a sage." Wait. Jon sees cable news as a circus but thinks only certain people can get away with wearing the red nose and big, floppy shoes?'

Jossip is really trying to get the ball rolling on the whole, "Jon Stewart is over" routine.

His entire schtick is based on skewering the news. THAT idea will never die. Fake news that mocks (what passes for) real news has been a viable comedy format since the original SNL days. Why is it suddenly not kosher?

No. 4 jack says:

it;s not kosher because places like jossip and others can now write articles about it regardless of it's actual relevance. hmmm gotta love the prepetual need for articles, something can always be made of nothing in the media.

There IS a difference between Carville and Rove, and it's not their political affiliations. When Rove comes on FOX they virtually lick his balls with how much praise they lay down on him. Carville, meanwhile, is usually presented as just another CNN contributor. They don't say he was responsible for Clinton's wins either.
