It's not hard to tell that he speaking tongue-in-cheek. It is hard to tell what organization he's referring to specifically since most fit that description. He's a lefty, though, so I guess FOX.

Do you not know the difference between state run media and privately run media?

The level of mental illness required to tell that reporter what John Stuart Lebowitz told her is probably unrepairable.

God help him, I think he's actually pretending to be serious. They obviously paid him very, very well down thru the years.

I wish she had asked him why the media agreed to submit their questions in advance to Biden, when that had never been done before. I wish the lady had the data showing that "the price of eggs" had been mentioned only once during Biden's final month in office, but that subject has been raised obsessively starting on 1/20/25.

I wish she had asked him why CBS thought "no tax on tips" was a bad idea when Trump proposed it, but cheered Kamala for having a good idea a few months later. I wish she had asked him why it was okay for Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton to question the results of an election, but Trump doing so was a conspiracy theory which led to an indictment.

I wish she would've asked him why it was okay for VP Biden and SOS Clinton to possess classified material, yet PRESIDENT Trump's home was raided over the same exact issue.

I could keep going for hours, but anybody with an IQ higher than wet paint knows that the corrupt, bought-and-paid-for corporate media is total shite. If Stewart really was being serious here, then he's no better than any of the rest of the propaganda puppets (which wouldn't really surprise me).

Very clearly he is being tongue in cheek seeing as he is literally part of that conglomerate and spent a decade or more poking fun at the exact apparatus. Stewart is the embodiment of the aged clown who wished he could retire but the circus forces him to dance every night. You can tell he hates what he does and he resents the machine he helped create but hes either too compromised or too egotistical to stop. My money is on the former.

He’s being 100% serious.

That’s not his sarcastic schtick.

It's hard to tell with the Colberts, Kimmel, Stewart's, etc. As they do the "clown nose on, clown nose off" routine, where they get to bounce between being serious and making jokes.


They want so badly to be real pundits…until they’re made to look stupid. Then they don’t. Then they’re “just comedians”.

I’ve said it a million times: it’s an extremely cowardly way to debate.

Jon is being sarcastic here. He’s 100% calling out American media.

Clearly, he is suggesting decades-targeted Fox is the news organization that "knowingly & explicitly creates lies & fiction and will manipulate facts to maintain power", and that the "authoritarian" is Trump


Exactly. Jon leibowitz thinks he's clever, but refusing to admit how Obama, Biden, and the media constantly did what he is accusing Trump and Fox of doing makes him an idiot. These "smart" leftists are just as easy to see through as the retarded members of the black caucus.

Either Jon is incredibly stupid or that was excellent sarcasm on his part.

Loved the way the girl raised her eyebrows and said “hmmm.”

That's bs.

There's a lot of media willing to lie to American citizens for the sake of politics including a lot of right wing so-called media.
