I find it scary how these guys can manipulate the American public. The credibility these guys has at the moment is not good.

they are funny shows, but when tv personalities gathers hundreds of thousands of people in political rallies then i get a bit concerned.

Jon Stewart gained credibility because for many things he drew attention to wrong-doings by people in government and high places rather than saturate you with mindless, irrelevant news...thing is while he was pointing our minor to moderate issues/wrong doings he was also tossing in the same old mainstream media bullshit...supporting obama...supporting the 'left'....furthering the idea that presidents matter and hiding the true power structure of the world...along with keeping people disillusioned with the false left-right paradigm...
...problem is Jon (and Colbert) are owned by Comedy Central, and do their bidding. Comedy Central is owned by Viacom of which has directors and executives who make ludicrous amounts of money and who most undoubtedly have connections to people who want to see the public (americans) brainwashed and fed cover stories...
this whole 'rally' idea was all hype for ratings, nothing about the true corruption in the world was mentioned and the masses were hypnotized further.
...lastly....this thread will get political at some point which will cause it to get binned...

Doesnt take much to point out a few corrupt assholes they want to get rid of. Just because he takes out a coupe of shits doesnt give him any credibility in my eyes. Its too easy to forget that he is taking millions if not billions from big media.
Colbert acted like an ass in front of Congress...I would have had him forcefully removed if I was running the show and he began his "act" during testimony.
Not that I have respect for Congressmen...just the office.
Like EVERYONE else...they're in it for themselves.

I've liked that John guy since his old show. Funny guy.
A good sense of humor is always nice, mo.
Never cared for Colbert's persona on the show... I know its a caricature, but the annoying to funny ratio is nearly 1:1 for me.
Jon Stewart is the man though. Turned the Daily Show into a real force in news, even if they will never admit it and prefer to cling to the comedy label.
LOL, sounds like some of you guys won't be happy until Alex Jones is hosting the Daily Show.
Anyways, let's show some love for the Enhancement Smoker

Seriously?
You do know that many politicians have acted before they got into politics? President Reagan comes to mind...

Its intriguing to find out that the man who writes Jon Stewerts show is a previous Bilderberg attendee, and Jons brother is head of the stock exchange.
Hmmm
Hmmm
What writer is that?
I love the Daily Show, Jon is a crack up..did you see him trying to get W to come his show???....it was funny as hell! I would love to see that interview! lol
Colbert is funny too, just in a different way I guess, I watch both shows almost every night they are on.
