Oh? I hadn’t heard that Stewart got his company a 780+ million dollar settlement in large part because he had texts stating he knew he was lying to the public.

Someone should do something about that Stewart fellow if he keeps getting away with the stuff

I can find this (easily). Link?

I was being sarcastic. Tucker is a proven in court liar and propagandist and the person I was replying to was stating that John Stewart’s biases are equivalent in magnitude

Stewart is obviously a died-in-the-wool leftist and if you can't see that then you lack basic comprehension skills.

You seem to enjoy stating subjective, debatable opinions as objective fact without any evidence while pairing them with juvenile insults.

It's very effective.

The facts exist independent of your empty words.

I never argued otherwise. But implying that just being biased towards one side is equivalent to Tucker Carlsons level of dedication to the cause in spite of the truth is where you are wrong.

Eh, wrong is too weak. I think you fully understand the false comparison you are making and how it influences public discourse

went right over my head. oops.

I think there is a very big difference between Stewart and Tucker.

You might not agree with Stewart's principles, but he has them and will fight his own party over it. Tucker flew over to Russia to kiss Putin's behind and even Putin made fun of how bad it was. He then tried to show how awesome it was in Russia and made it obvious that he hasn't been in a grocery store in ages.

Carlson, in contrast to Stewart, is probably one of the better examples of the strength of freedom of the press in the United States.

Where Stewart has and does continue to work successfully with several mainstream media channels, Carlson is so dislikable he can only be heard because he founded his own podcast. Truly, it is a great country that has the laws protecting that man's right to keep being heard.

I believe Carlson was one of the most popular hosts on one of the most popular channels till he was sacked. Keeping your job in the mainstream media, is no badge of honour. It just means you're happy to sacrifice your independence and submit to the demands of the media biz (and mainstream groupthink).

Indeed, whether it is a badge of honor to be so professionally dislikable you can no longer hold employment in the entertainment sector under anyone but yourself is something reasonable people can disagree on. But what a great country it is that guarantees him the right to still be so self-employed!

Jon Stewart has never presented the news
