Video Killed the Radio Star: The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart

Now if you have read this blog, you know I am a huge fan of Craig Kilborn, especially his time at The Daily Show. When Jon Stewart took over, he soon changed the show into a liberal propaganda type show.

Well it's good to see that Jon Stewart isn't afraid to pull punches, even on those he voted for. These are some great clips where Jon does a good job of getting some jabs in at Obama. Really good.

First up is his take on Obama's pledge to create a solid infrastructure...great Oprah reference. Now just to show fairness, he takes on Jan Brewer on this one too.

I don't have a problem with political humor and as long as Stewart takes on both sides I'm ok with it.

I agree. The problem is that "Taking shots at both sides" is a rare event in today's hyper-partisan media world.

Once upon a time, Comedians were the ones we turned to for that. Now they are little more than talking heads and propaganda figures.

...and the comedy has suffered for it.

agreed 100%.

I like to see both sides get poked at, but it's rare to see it now...a shame really.
