If Ohioans give this fat creep a platform for his misconceived ideas, no wonder Ohio is in trouble.

level. This guy only wishes he had the demographics Stewart has. His demographics are getting older and are dying off.

...I hear a toilet flush?

Thanks, Roger!

By average Joe standards Stewart was doing well in the early/mid 90s, but maybe not by entertainment standards. His MTV show was pretty short-lived and he bounced around doing cameos on crappy movies. But he was gaining buzz, which led to his taking over for Kilborn at the Daily Show.

I never missed the Daily Show back then (it debuted a few months before Fox News launched). Interestingly, I think a lot of people. including myself, were skeptical that the show would last when Stewart took over. Back then the main draw wasn't the host but the correspondents, almost all of whom left the same time Kilborn did. I was pleasantly surprised that the show was just as good with Stewart at the helm, mainly because the writing remained strong.

I'm impressed that the show has become what it has. I never envisioned it would be so relevant. Remember too that back then, it had more of a focus on quirky comedy and the entertainment business. But under Stewart it slowly became more and more political. It really is quite a success story.

I think Ailes is exaggerating about Fox's role in the show's success, but there is a nugget of truth there. Much of the show is dedicated to making fun of the cable news channels. If anything, it's CNN that Stewart should be thanking, since his infamous spanking of them on 'Crossfire' greatly upped his cred.

they doubled his salary.

and very tiny amounts of integrity to even try to attack Jon Stewart. Jon Stewart has more integrity and intelligence in his little finger than Ailes has in his whole body, just like Ailes has more meaness in his body than a flock of Westboro Church members and more deceitfulness than the entirety of 1960's Pravda.

Like I'm going to believe anything that Roger Ailes has to say about anything or anyone.

In other words, he said he was to the left of the John Birch Society.

Or something like that?

sez more about your stupid ass then it does about obama. at least that's what i like to tell the fuckwits that trot out "he hasn't been vetted!!1" well what's the fucking holdup?! vet away, dumbnuts!

If we "know next to nothing" by now, that would indicate poor allocation of resources for a news organization. That would be a failure of top management, and that would be... who, again?

Of course, facts have nothing to do with that operation.

Nobody learns anything from FOX.

...what with all the regulation and high taxes on the rich back then.

... means that President Obama simply hasn't had any affairs for Roger Ailes to find. That must be the only thing they were looking for.

sadly no one cares anymore about what he has to say. i think dyan wrote it best.."the times they are a changing"
roger is so out of touch with reality he does`t notice that colbert is far better than stewart when it comes to political theater.

And the right bitches about NPR... hahahahahaahaha... they want total control.
