Can you believe Craig Kilborn used to have this show?
Me neither.
Take that, Papa Bear.

Love the irony of him making fun of someone else’s relevance.
Hey, don’t knock the Daily Show. Who knew a short, crazy Jewish man could be so funny?
Stewart is probably the most self-indulgent, obnoxious douchebag on any network, anywhere. Wait–is Keith Olbermann still alive?
I was amused by Bill O. staunchly defending this “Constitutional Right to Privacey.” Does he realize that the Supreme Court first outlined this right in Roe v. Wade? That it does not actually exist constitutionally but for this landmark case? So Bill O. is pro-choice?
Of course, because a reporter with a microphone asking a senator a question is the same as a hundred papparazzi chasing down a movie star in an airport or out shopping.
“Stewart is probably the most self-indulgent, obnoxious douchebag on any network, anywhere. Wait–is Keith Olbermann still alive?”
Okay, but Billy O runs a close third.
Add Nancy Pelosi, Joy Behar, and Al Gore as numbers 4 through 6 on the dinner guest list and it’d be like dining al fresco in the ninth circle of hell.
Oops, actually they all fall into the eighth circle if I remember the heirarchy right.
Yes, Beige, Keith O. is alive and well and obnoxious as ever on MSNBC and a useless segment on Sunday Night Football. One day my dream will come true and Cris Collinsworth will catch him mid-rant with a short left to the jaw.
And Minnow, I’d better start praying more so I end up somewhere more like the 3rd or 4th circle rather than down there with those clowns.
Billy is a jacka**! Bill O’Rally and Nancy Grace are a match made in Hypocrisy H*ll.
That was a funny segment.
I know Bill O’ Reilly is abrasive. But Joy Behar is, in the words of someone whose name I can’t recall, a “lipsticked manatee”.
I think to get a talk show on TV it’s required that you be a douchebag. Something in their contracts.
Isn’t that something? A Constitutional right to privacy that’s not in the Constitution. It took the Supreme Court to find it. And without Google even. I mean, the Second Amendment clearly spells out the right of the citizen to own weapons but the Federal government, some states and the cities regularly pass laws that infringe on a right that is in the Constitution. What a topsy turvy world we live in.
I never liked O’Reilly’s ambushes. I always thought they were bush league. Um, pun not intended. I suppose the difference is O’Reilly sees himself as a journalist but views the paparazzi as the equivalent of the guys who used to wash your windshield with dirty newspaper.
I preferred the Daily Show with Craig Kilborn, it was funny. I actually stopped watching the show when Stewart took over.
7 out of 11 comments calling out Jon Stewart instead of the focus of the post, Bill O’Reilly.
Can Deceiever make posts about its own commentors?
I work as a journalist and had a high schooler e-mail me a few months back asking me if I thought reporters had the right to go to any measure to get a story (in a nutshell). My answer (in a nutshell) was that going after someone who has done/said something “wrong” is completely different than going after someone whose only crime is being famous (although, when they open their political mouths, they open themselves to the same scrutiny as other people making statements). Is whoever went out sans underwear or who hit whom really affecting my life? No. However, digging around for as much info as I can on a local fourth-grade teacher who got busted two days ago for prostitution serves the public.
Therefore, the hypocrisy in this post does lie with Jon Stewart.
Maybe, if you could explain what you’re talking about.
He’s* talking about his name “all one word” actually being three words, thus making himself a hypocrite. He wants you to write an article about him Simon.
*change all “he’s” and “his” to “she’s” and “her” if OP is female.
I’ve O’Reilly’s show and I’ve seen Comedy Central and I’ve seen Olberman’s show. O’Reilly’s is better entertainment. He has nice looking women guests on the show quite frequently.
I, too, am a journalist. And Kristine, you are SPOT ON.
Watching Brittany shop for sunglasses? Irrelevant.
Catching Al Gore in a 3-vehicle SUV entourage to a global-warming seminar while asking attendees to ride bikes or the bus to attend? Effectual.
And, well, priceless.
MasterCard.
Aspiring comedians should learn at least this much from Jon Stewart:
Saying something loudly doesn’t make it funny all on its own.
Don’t knock Jon Stewart. One day, I’ll get to meet him and we’ll have some gorgeous children. I love him. ./swoon
Wow, that’s an insult to the gentle manatees, Beige!
Jannah: I thought that too. But the physical resemblance is undeniable. Heh.
Point I was trying for was that the focus of the story was Bill’s privacy v. ambush journalism credo, and then how the focus was shifted away from the hypocrisy to bash on Jon Stewart, and not even for being hypocritical (which plenty of clips will show he can be), but just for being Jon Stewert.
and cuz I’m feeling petty “all one word” isn’t a hypocritical name/phrase. More like an oxymoron, or irony, or a paradox. Eh, semantics.
You linked to an article in The Onion, a well known spoof site. You realize that, don’t you?
What, you didn’t think it was funny?
o’reilly and stewart are both equally obnoxious…
Funny segment.Douche A slings douche at Douche B.
BTW-There is no constitutionally protected RIGHT to privacy.Yeah I know…it’s been posted
I should have clarified in my earlier post that the hypocrisy for me was not the difference between the paps and “ambush journalists,” but the fact that Bill O. was defending a right that, if you think about it real hard, doesn’t actually exist. Constitutionally speaking, your right to privacy doesn’t extend much further than your front door. Your garbage (literally and metaphorically), is public property once it leaves your private property per the first amendment. You, know the one that allows you to say what you want in a public forum and the press the right to call you on it. . . in a public forum. The truth is both shield and sword in libel and slander cases. Not libel or slander? Then it’s only words so suck it up. It is the price of being a public figure. There are many celebs who seem to be able to go relatively pap free by simply not living in L.A. and keeping their mouths shut (and wearing panties when they go out).
@Dr. FUNK! Great post. I will try to use that new phrase this week. “Douche A slings douche at Douche B”. Truly awesome! I had previously been unable to use douche that many times in a single small sentence. This has opened my mind to new possibilities in naming douchery!
