Because as we all know, only Republicans lie.

Everybody lies. Some people act like they are perfect, but then get
caught being human. This humbles a decent person. An asshole just
proceeds like it never happened.

Talk about yer arrogance...



You may wish to rethink pointing fingers on that one.

I haven't singled anyone out; who do you think I'm referring to, and why?

The National Lampoon is satire, as is Jon Stewart. Satire (look it up)
is an extremely powerful form of topical commentary. But you need two
things:

1. a sufficiently developed intellect

and

B. a sense of humor

Kinda leaves you out, Rickets.

Another snappy retort from the Rupert Pupkin of Lake Michigan.

Snappy beats stupid hands down.

Satire is not reportage of fact.

Credibility is not a function of effective satire. It's a
function of accuracy of reported fact.

For humor to work there needs to be an underlying truth.




There's a difference between underlying truth in satire and
factual reportage. If you don't get that......

Steve Lare you were outed as being a self loathing closet gay last

engaging in such pathetic name calling.

Really?

Pathetic? You are indeed a queer, are you not?

I'm sure I get it way better than you do. I am an award winning news
producer and I used to do drive-time humorous talk radio, back in the
Golden Age of FM. The court jester could mock the king and keep his
head-old tradition.

You DON"T get it. The issue is not whether satire is a valid form
of presentation, the issue is whether a satirist is a credible
source of news.

To get back to your original assertion, Jon Stewart is a
satirist. Not a reporter. He deals in perspective. He presents HIS
perspective. He doesn't report facts.

A clown may base his act on facts. But he is not a factual source.
