re: John Stewart rips the Obama administration

The problem with Stewart is he tries to hide behind "Oh, I'm just a comedian", but is pumping political agenda as much as he can and trying to shape the views of his audience.
I don't think he's hiding behind it. He states this when confronted by "news anchors" who accuse him of not "asking tough questions" or going too soft on lefty's. He is a comedian, on a comedy network, talking about the news.

It isn't just news anchors that call out Stewart for pushing his leftist agenda, and then hiding behind his patented excuse that he's just a comedian.
That's preposterous.
Like I said, any person who says that FOX News is the only biased news source isn't worthy of being taken seriously.

He regularly rips on them, too, they just provide less material than Fox News.

For as much flack as he catches for being a liberal (and he is), Stewart verbally rapes the Obama administration regularly.

"This really does point out the difference between the Bush and the Obama administrations," Stewart said. "The Bush administration was incredibly disciplined and focused when the time came to persuade this country to do the wrong thing, whereas the Obama administration would like us to do the wrong thing, in as chaotic and confused a way as possible."
This fix would have made it more accurate and funny and closer to an "rip".

In serious interviews, he is on record as saying Obama has not lived up to any of his platform positions and has been a woeful disappointment as president. He hardly carries the flag for the Obama administration.

He said it about 2 years ago, while being interviewed by Chris Wallace on Wallace's Sunday show. Stewart told Wallace that FOX had a serious right-wing bias.
Wallace asked Stewart if some of the other networks were similarly biased from the left, and Stewart said no. Wallace pressed him on it, and Stewart basically said that 1) MSNBC was simply trying to copy FOX's business model from the other side, and 2) he didn't see any bias from any of the other networks. Stewart simply said that the other networks sometimes sensationalize the news for ratings purposes.
I don't know if there's a YouTube video or other source for this, but I saw it. That's when I stopped paying any attention to him.

Thank you. I'm sure this will be ignored, though.

I watched the first video, all 8 minutes of it. While I appreciated his rebuke of the Obama administration concerning Fast & Furious, he once again, as he always seems to do, made it a point to suggest that whatever sin Obama is guilty of the Republicans/Bush are worse.
I didn't watch the others.

That's what we call "moving the goalposts".

I never had any setup.
You're the one that moved the goalposts. You said the videos would be ignored, I watched them. Now for some reason you can't admit they weren't ignored so you came up with some other shite.
