WHY I SAY GOOD RIDDANCE TO JON STEWART

I agree with Jon in that we should watch more non-biased
political commentary like on MSNBC! (Oh, wait a sec!)

So says the guy who works for Comedy Central who nixed
Mohammed jokes on South Park due to a DEATH THREAT!

And who would know MORE about being poor AND black in
America than Jon Stewart!

I couldn't have said it BETTER myself!

Now THAT'S what I call White Privilege!

"I am so JUST a comedian, dammit!"

What "comedian" needs THREE armed body guards?
Just asking, Jon!

So does THIS mean that Jon Stewart, like his arch-nemesis
Fox (Non) News, is also "Fair & Balanced"?

"Say, Jon, do you remember those 'secret meetings' we had
where I gave you talking points to say on your show?"

The Daily Show host “uber” liberal Jon Stewart recently announced his “retirement” from said hosting duties from TDS. [UPDATE: Since this article was written, Jon Stewart has finally "retired" from TDS, do DON'T blast me for this article NOT being up-to-date, OK?] And I, for one, couldn't be happier! Let me state for the record before I begin that I used to be a BIG fan of Daily Show host Jon Stewart. Not anymore. Why is that, you might ask? Because I find Jon Stewart to be EVERY bit as bigoted, biased, two-faced, hypocritical and just plain full-of-shit as those OTHER “political” commentators—mostly, of course, right-wing—he goes after on a constant basis (remember when he by-now-infamously called then-Crossfire host Tucker Carlson a “dick” after sanctimoniously lecturing how HE was “hurting” America?). I actually started to get down on Jon Stewart when his rather abhorrent interview with CNBC's self-proclaimed “money expert” Jim Cramer aired wherein Jon pretty much blamed the financial crisis on Kramer's apparently erroneous financial “advice” to his viewers, which, to me, is akin to blaming a huge windstorm on a single fart. Watching Jon Stewart in that interview was like watching a left-wing version on Bill O'Reilly (and, please, don't get me started on THAT guy!). Ever since then, Jon has become increasingly more arrogant and/or condescending as he's seemingly embraced the very image—that he's NOT a “serious” newsman/pundit and that he's just a lowly “comedian” and whatnot—that he claims he has SUCH a disdain for; like, for instance, he goes on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC show—which I also don't waste my time watching anymore (especially after she was caught selectively editing a Rand Paul speech)--and insists how no one should be taking him or his show too seriously and then going on Chris Wallace's show on Fox (Non) News and not only likens himself to Mark Twain and Edward R. Murrow (Google it!) but also insists how HARD it is for him to do what he does or whatever. I feel that Jon Stewart, as GQ once alluded to about him, is every bit a part of that “pundiocracy” that he claims is so bad for the country.

I must say I find it rather amusing at how much power and influence he's managed to amass since taking over hosting duties on The Daily Show and how people regard him as some sort of “left-wing messiah” (as I've actually seen him referred to, by the way), especially since I remember how, before hosting TDS, he had one failed talk show after another—including one on, ironically enough, Fox—and no one thought of him as some type of “messiah” or whatever. Another thing I've found rather troublesome about Mr. Stewart is how he rarely ever gets criticized unlike, of course, his other contemporaries such as his “buddy” Bill O'Reilly. And whenever someone DOES openly criticize him he immediately goes on the attack; like, for instance, when he incessantly attacked former CNN anchor Rick Sanchez. Sanchez finally lashed out at Stewart for said incessant attacks against him, adding how he questioned whether Jewish people—like Stewart is—is truly a “minority” in this country. CNN subsequently fired Rick supposedly over his controversial remarks about Jews. However, given at how the “liberal” media continually kissed Jon's behind, I still believe Mr. Sanchez would've STILL gotten fired even without making his quip about Jews since, according to the Leftie Bible: Thou shalt NOT criticize Jon Stewart (or else you WILL lose your career!)! Even former employees of The Daily Show have seemingly refused to publicly say anything good OR bad about their former boss, as reported in an expose published about Jon Stewart in Esquire magazine a couple years back, for apparent fear of his retaliation (which could explain why former employees of TDS, according to the Esquire expose, have been called “battered wives” since Stewart reportedly has a reputation of being a tyrant behind-the-scenes).

Going back to his “retirement” from The Daily Show, Stewart came out and said the reason why for said “retirement” from TDS is that he wanted to spend more time with his family and/or the fact that he was tired of having to watch his arch-nemesis Fox (Non) News all the time. And I'm sure The Daily Show's reported declining ratings have NOTHING at all to do with Jon's “retirement” as TDS is reportedly getting its ass kicked in the ratings on so-called Comedy Central (which is starting to sound more & more like a “funnier” version of MSNBC, thanks in NO small part to Jon “I'm Just a Comedian, Dammit!” Stewart) from Daniel Tosh's show Tosh.O and—gasp!—Inside Amy Schumer.

Perhaps the most “funniest” part of Jon Stewart's “retirement” is how lefties on the so-called blogosphere and elsewhere are figuratively—and, no doubt, literally—crying about how they'll NOT know what to do with themselves now that their “left-wing messiah” Jon Stewart is indeed “retiring” from TDS. For one thing, the SAME lefties who are “crying” about Stewart's “retirement” will no doubt forget about his pretentious lefties ass the day AFTER he “retires” and will rave about his replacement Trevor Noah (who's already gotten into a wee bit of “trouble” himself as his tweets about “fat white women” and/or running over Jewish kids with his German car came to light. Of course, Jon Stewart came to said replacement's “defense” even though Jon himself has gone after others on TDS—again, mostly righties—for saying A LOT less, but I digress.) I mean, look at Stephen Colbert whose right-wing “parody” show The Colbert Report which followed The Daily Show was about as “successful” as TDS. After Stephen's “retirement” from his show to “replace” the vastly overrated David Letterman, his “fans” apparently forgot ALL about him and started focusing their leftie “attention” on Colbert's replacement former Daily Show “correspondent” Larry Wilmore (or is it Wilmur? Wilmore? Wilmur? Whatever!) Hell, just look at how popular & powerful Oprah was until SHE “retired” from her daytime talk show. Then a good chunk (pardon the pun!) of HER popularity and/or power took a steep nosedive as she erroneously obviously believed ALL her (brainwashed?) fans would “watch” her on her TV network OWN. Well, I think we ALL know what happened there, DON'T we? All of Oprah's fans went over and went over to Ellen DeGeneres! And does anyone honestly think it will ANY different for Jon Stewart? As for his “fans” figuratively—and literally—crying over his “retirement” from his show wondering what they are going to do with themselves, how about THINKING FOR THEMSELVES!!!!

Just a kindly suggestion!

I know I'll get at least some people who'll disagree with me on this, especially those diehard Jon Stewart Kool-Aid drinkers. But, speaking strictly for myself, I no longer choose to drink the Jon Stewart Kool-Aid and I feel I'm a much better-informed person for it. The bottom is, I don't need Jon Stewart to tell me what to think or believe anymore than I need, say, Bill O'Reilly to tell me what to think or believe, you know what I mean?

A sidenote: Since this article was initially written, it was revealed that Jon Stewart had "secret meetings" on at least two separate occasions with none other than the POTUS himself Barack Obama. Of course, Stewart tried to "downplay" this, invoking his "I'm just a comedian!" ruse he ALWAYS invokes whenever he gets caught showing his OWN blatant bias. But, what I'd like to know is, if there was nothing to these "secret meetings" with Obama, why then wasn't he honest & upfront about them to begin with? As I understand it, one of these "meetings" took place when Obama was running for President and another time was when he was trying to get some piece of legislation passed. And we're just supposed to take Jon Stewart at his "comedic" word that nothing "improper" was going on during these "meetings"? Hell, even Stewart implied that maybe--just maybe!--Obama might have been trying to "influence" him on something. Now, for those "fans" of TDS who say this ISN'T a big deal, could you imagine the shit Stewart would have given, say, Bill O'Reilly if he had "secret meetings" with then-"President" George W. Bush? I mean, how in the hell are we supposed to know that at least SOME of what Stewart was saying about Obama WASN'T merely "talking points" coming from the Obama Administration itself (one or two other reports I heard suggest that the OA had in fact been in "contact" with various member of TDS; gee, I wonder WHY?)? This is yet ANOTHER reason why I'm glad Jon Stewart is "retiring" from TDS (or, rather, at the time of THIS writing, he HAS mercifully "retired"!)!

A side-sidenote: Here's an article I found on Salon.com (which is hardly a "conservative" site) about Jon Stewart that's one of the very few times anyone has EVER been critical of The Almighty Jon Stewart online or anywhere else, for THAT matter, especially from ANYONE on The Left. (This article, if true, also VERY seriously calls into question Jon Stewart's claim of being AGAINST racism in any form.)

A side-side-sidenote: Yet another rather asinine interview I watched Jon Stewart give with his umpteenth interview with his "frenemy" Bill O'Reilly about the dreaded White Privilege! You can watch the "interview" and judge how asinine it is for yourself. But one thing I will point out is when Jon asks Bill if his "hometown" of Levittown, New York allowed minorities during the time that he was growing up. When O'Reilly said they didn't, Jon Stewart thundered, "That's White Privilege!" Actually, it was more due to the discriminatory housing policies put forth by the GOVERNMENT at the time, that very SAME government that Stewart claims only wants to do "good" for America and Americans in general. Whoops! Another thing I found SO asinine about this "interview" was that BOTH Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly are two of the MOST "privileged" White People in America if NOT the entire planet as Jon Stewart has a reported net worth of around $80 million and Bill O'Reilly "earns" a reported $10 million A YEAR hosting his show on Fox (Non) News not to mention, of course, all the untold millions he "earns" from all those "bestselling" books he (supposedly) writes. Again, whoops! Anyway, here is Jon Stewart/Bill O'Reilly's White Privilege "debate":

And, while we're at it, here's a clip taken from The Daily Show of Jon "I Condemn Right-Wing Racists!" Stewart saying . . . well, you'll see!
