Cliff notes?



He calls bullshite on her attempts to say republicans are the ones who have problems with corruption.

She just constantly skirts his attempts to accuse the system of a systematic problem with turning what should be an efficient law into a massive 900 page document.

He's definitely liberally biased and isn't shy about it but he didn't pull any punches probably the toughest interview she'll see for awhile.

Not gonna watch, but I give Stewart props that although he is a hard core lib, he does hold his own to the fire too.

I can't stand to watch the man

He's done some hilarious pieces calling out the press. The funniest thing he ever did was burn CNN for fact-checking a Saturday Night Live skit.

if you watch the interview she just trails off on about 60% of the answers.

A comedian as a news reporter to you and the count that gave us the fricked Up Act. Do you really think that you can find the bottom of your hole by digging it deeper with the standouts like MSNBC reporters?

Good. Maybe his audience will start to realize there is more to Pelosi than meets the ears.

BFD. It is a little late now. He wasn't scrutinizing any of the dims' outlandish promises and claims about how wonderful Obamacare was going to be before it passed. Now you think he deserves a cookie because he asks a tough question or two AFTER the bill passed? Nah.

I really wish he woulda quoted her about "we have to pass it to see what is in it".

He had three or four opportunities to do so

I didn't even think about that. I guess he did pull at least 1 punch. Yeah he should have asked. It definitely would have furthered his point about legislation growing far too large.

Stewart is the fricking man. I really love watching him make political figures squirm. We need more people like him in media.

We need more people like Sharyl Attkisson, and less entertainers, convincing people they are media.

He's said countless times that he's a comedian and not a reporter.

Have we seen him interview anyone about the massive spying that is going on on every citizen in the world by our friendly government?

I'm surprised that as big of a liberal as Stewart is that he actually didn't take any of the b.s. that Nancy Pelosi was giving him

ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and MSNBC have said countless times that they're not biased too. He's blurred the line enough, and the majority of his audience are stupid enough, that they count on him for their news and don't seek it anywhere else. He knows this and anyone with a tad bit of sense knows this.

That has absolutely nothing to do with this. His show is on Comedy Central. Don't pretend he's trying to convince people that he's a reporter. He's a political satirist.

Sweet opinion, but it doesn't count for much.
