My Response To Jon Stewart's "Powerful" Ferguson Monologue (& Why I'm No Longer A "Fan" Of Jon Stewart)

Let me preface this by saying I used to be a MAJOR fan of Jon Stewart and watched The Daily Show religiously. Not anymore. And THIS video, which the white "liberal" media has had a collective orgasm over, is a PERFECT reason why. This video, of course, is Stewart's response to the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white police officer in the town of Ferguson, Missouri and the subsequent protests/riots/looting. Unlike Stewart, I'm not going to comment about the specific shooting of Michael Brown since--just like Stewart--I wasn't there and anything I would say would be pure speculation. I have, however, watched coverage of the shooting and/or the "protests" on both Fox (Non) News and MSNBC. In fact, I went back & forth between Bill O'Reilly's show and Chris Hayes's show. Of course, Stewart--as he always does, by the way--cherry-picked "questionable" comments about Ferguson made by various commentator on Fox (Non) News, including his "frenemie" Bill O'Reilly, and made it look like they represented ALL the coverage/comments made on Fox (Non) News about the shooting/protests. However, it wasn't; like, for instance, Stewart DOESN'T mention in his "monologue" how Bill O'Reilly actually CRITICIZED the rather heavy-handed police response to the protesters and how he actually called the Ferguson police, and I quote, Keystone cops not only for their "mishandling" of the protesters but also their "mishandling" of Brown's shooting death (of which he likewise got criticized for). And this, in my view, is pretty damn deceptive and/or dishonest on his part and is one reason why I don't watch his insipid show anymore since this isn't the FIRST time he's done this (i.e. cherry-picked and/or selectively-edited comments from Fox News and other right-wing sources). As for the rest of his "powerful" Ferguson monologue, which the left has gushed over like they think it's the greatest "speech" since the Gettysburg Address (but then, Jon could come out at THIS point and recite the alphabet on his show and the left would have a collective orgasm!), Stewart could have said something poignant about the shooting and the subsequent protests/riots if he wanted (which, again, he WASN'T there to witness just like every other commentator on Fox News), but, instead, he turns it into yet another one of his tiresome sanctimonious attacks on Fox (Non) News. I mean, seriously, what WOULD this guy talk about if there were no Fox (Non) News anyway? The most laughable part of his "powerful" Ferguson monologue to me was when he chastised Sean Hannity--whom I don't give ONE tinker's damn about, by the way--on his NOT knowing what it's like to be a black man in America. Because, you know, there's no one who epitomizes the Black American Experience MORE than Jon Stewart himself! It's kind of like when Jon Stewart attacks those godawful rich Republicans like Mitt Romney--whom I also DON'T give a tinker's damn about, by the way--while Mr. Stewart has a reported net worth of $80 MILLION. Whoops! And, what I'd like to know is, since Stewart claims to be in solidarity with the black community in their "distrust" of cops (which, as even commentators on Fox News pointed out, was well-justified), I guess THAT means he WON'T dial 911 if someone, white OR black, breaks into his penthouse (of which he reportedly owns one), huh? Also, I wonder if Jon Stewart along with the REST of his "liberal" WHITE buddies like on MSNBC--like, say, Chris Hayes who actually went down to Ferguson to show his apparent "solidarity" with the protesters (some of whom repaid said "solidarity" by throwing rocks at him at one point)--would STILL "support" the protests/riots had they occurred in HIS lily-white neighborhood? Just asking, Jon!
