Had you not posted this here I would have zero clue what he said. The guy is an imbecile. Ignore him.

He was being sarcastic and witty and most likely attacking Fox, while being self unaware that he was describing the legacy media at the same time.

This is gaslighting turned up to 11. He knows damn well this is exactly what the Democratic socialist party a.k.a. mainstream media has been doing for decades in America. He knows this. Even CNN has come out and admitted that they pushed the Russia collusion story simply for ratings. I’m sure it was also to put the thumb on the scales of public opinion , but their first objective is to bring in the money.


Why is he pretending to be this dumb?


A. To maintain the illusion.


Not at all. Well... sort of. What he's doing there is engaging in verbal irony. Listen to his tone and cadence, they are completely different from what he uses when he's being Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz (his real name) versus the comedian/social-commentator/Hollywood/media persona (like when he's giving a speech about the health issues of the 9/11 responders).

He knows all the media here does it (just look at the recent "Black woman in Mississippi hanged by man" headlines a few days ago which were on most news sites and which purposely hid that the killer was black so the reader would infer they were white because... race-based rage-bait clicks), but when pressed he would likely name only conservative outlets like FNC or OANN.

He's just one more well-paid little propaganda puppet. He's made a ton of money giving his corporate media overlords what they want by pretending to be blissfully ignorant.

Obtw, "Comedy" Central just happened to bring him back just in time for the run-up to the midterms. What a convenient coincidence.

He irks me because he wants to act like he’s a pro American soldier supporter yet he espouses and actively supports the very same idiots who cause our country damage.

F him

Yeah that had to be sarcasm.
It's depressing as hell that registered voters could mistake that for anything but sarcasm.

Someone who can't pick up on obvious sarcasm calling others stupid. Thanks for the free comedy.

It’s sarcasm, but I would not be surprised if he feels the only example is Fox News.


This is correct. I think most realize it is sarcasm, but he is aiming at the right, not the left.

It is sarcasm, but he is not talking about the left. He thinks he is describing the right.

Was he doing a comedy bit or a serious interview?


Depends upon the level of criticism he gets.

If people agree, he’s a serious, thought provoking pundit. If he gets hammered for what he says, he’s just a comedian making a joke. It’s been his MO his entire career.

Yeah that media machine is run by some of John's very closest friends. Hilarious that he's alluding to endless money pit Jimmy Kimmel. What a victim.

And after his little kill whitey HBO special series, he can keel over and die for all I care. frick that piece of shite.

His drama is feminine and his name is Leibowitz. If your Jewish, be Jewish, unless you're a phoney.

I think he was being sarcastic, but talking about Fox News.

Not CNN, msnbc, cbs, abc, nbc, wapo, nyt, pbs.....

Probably because the republican president is always crying about how people should be fired

Some people (you) have a tough time confronting reality
