Obama Quest - Why The Daily Show skewers the left better than right wing attempts at "comedy"

All week long we've been following 'Barry Magicseed's Summer Abroad'. That's how Jon Stewart introduced a brilliant Daily Show Thursday night, which was followed by a hilarious mashup of our heroic Senator slaying seven-headed dragons and a cyclops from that old-school Sinbad movie that used to constantly play on UHF TV. Below the flip is part two of Stewart's opening segment. Here, CNN's Wolf Blitzer...

Kid Forehead is like Ted Rall* in this respect: sometimes he latches onto a subject that's more popular than he is, and even though he tries to bring the snark, the green-eyed monster glares through in every line. *For example, his take on Jon Stewart.

McCain's Daily Show Routine

Connecting.the.Dots (Free subscription) | yesterday

His staff has been watching Jon Stewart. In a brilliant counter-programming move, they had John McCain satirizing Obama's Berlin speech today with a standup in front of Schmidt's Sausage Haus in Columbus, Ohio. Instead of a cheering, flag-waving crowd of 200,000, they had McCain meeting with half a dozen small business owners for a meal of bratwurst to complain, "I'd love to give a speech in Germany....

Just because a Harvard academic says something is so, doesn't mean it is . 'A "Daily Show" interview that hit a chord for me was Jon Stewart's conversation with Tal Ben-Shahar, who teaches "positive psychology" at Harvard and has written a self-help book. Early in the interview, a suspicious Stewart declares, "I am a psychology major, so I know a lot of it is bullshit." Stewart, however, politely gives...

Novak Run-In a Serious Matter

DCist (Free subscription) | 07/24/2008

There was plenty of snickering in the media yesterday about Robert Novak's very literal run-in with a pedestrian. Heck, we snickered ourselves silly , and even Jon Stewart couldn't resist making jokes — "You know what Washington needs? More vigilante bicyclists!" (see video above). As we mentioned earlier, today WJLA is reporting that the victim of Novak's negligence might be worse off than originally...

ABC's Chris Cuomo: Jon Stewart is 'Clearly a Lefty,' 'Clearly Pro-Obama'

NewsBusters (Free subscription) | 07/24/2008

"Good Morning America" news anchor Chris Cuomo launched an unlikely attack on liberal comedian Jon Stewart on Thursday's show. After discussing possible media bias against John McCain, and playing a clip of the "Daily Show" host mocking the senator, Cuomo warned, " I'll offer you the other side. You gotta be careful of friends like these with Stewart. Clearly a lefty. Clearly pro-Obama." Referring,...

Jon Stewart chides the media for confusing Barack Obama with Osama Bin Laden.

The Immoral Minority (Free subscription) | 07/24/2008

This grates on my nerves like nothing else. I sometimes doubt it is completely accidental that these big media types cannot keep these two names straight. I mean it is one thing when somebody accidentally confused "Osama" for "Obama", but when they say Osama's entire name when referring to Barack that just seems like a little too careless of a mistake for a professional news broadcaster to make. How...
