I doubt it. Evil mostly wins. I love the sentiment though.

It makes me happy to know that OâReilly and Hannity tune in to The Daily Show, even if just to grab material in their attempts to refute. Theyâre hacks and paid propagandists, but I donât believe theyâre necessarily stupid people (Okay, Hannity maybe, but OâReilly has at least demonstrated the ability to research a topic). Even if you lean right, I canât imagine watching a bit like this and not at least see the sheer difference in optics between the Ferguson issue and what theyâre going through and then compare it to a bunch lily-white blondes and frat boys bitching and whining about goddamned nativity scenes of all stupid shit. They have to see the contrast here, Iâd hope. Fox News literally is just a bunch of privileged whites whining about the most petty things. Itâs pathetic. Bonus points for shutting down the âwhy isnât Al Sharpton doing anything about Chicago violenceâ bullshit.

Is this John Oliver? I hardly recognize this.
I have loved TDS for years and years, but devoting more than 6 minutes to something is really unusual. And this was very well-executed, so I hope to see them come out swinging again instead of paying homage to false equivalencies to soften the blows.

Agreed, but the news business is a business, more so nowadays than ever. The TV networks are generally owned by publicly traded companies (NBC by Comcast, CBS by Viacom, ABC by Disney, etc.) and the shareholders expect all business units to contribute to the profits. Low ratings = less money you can charge advertisers = less profit.
Itâs unfortunate, but thatâs how it goes.

BbbbuuuttâŚJON! FUX News assures us, and they have the five Cons on the SCOTUS to back them up, that there is NO racism in America anymore, and race had nothing to do with Ferguson!!!
Besides, as anyone knows, the real systemic discrimination in Murrikaâ is all against white Christians___especially old white wealthy conservative Christian men! Bless their Compassionate Conservative âBlinder and Gentileâ hearts.

"After all, when Sean Hannity gets a speeding ticket, he just politely informs the officer of his concealed weapon permit and lets the cop know heâs carrying. You know, as a courtesy."
HmmmmmâŚI had InsHannity pegged for being more of a âDo you know who I am?â kinda guy.
You know, a total f*cking dick.
On second thought, Iâm correct either way!

Hannity tonight on FOX: âLiberals like Stewart are the real racists for pointing out to me that racism still exists.â
Tea Potty Putzes and FOXbots: âThatâs riteâ!â ~applause!~
FOX: âWe Distort: You Comply!â

Sorry stinker, classic low information reply. Ratings are not the bar by which we judge everything. You also might want to research who goes on TDS before you open you mouth.
Tis better to be though a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
The funniest part to me is the one where Hannity says he sometimes gets out of the car and lifts his shirt to show the officer he has a concealed weapon. Lifting your shirt to show you have a gun would be absolutely perceived as a threat to just about everyone. Itâs pretty much asking for suicide by cop.

I would venture to guess that the ratings for TDS may be better than MTP - just a guess, and Iâm too lazy to look it up.
And, I donât care what they do to the format; if they donât get away from the same talking gasbags they have on over and over there will be no possible format that will improve the ratings. Well, maybe some kind of death cage matchup with McCain and Graham versus Pelosi and Reid - that might give the ratings a boost, but I donât think theyâd go for it.
As has been pointed out by others, TDS seems to be able to get conservatives and other assorted idjits on as guests, usually when they have a book to flog but not always. If you have the ratings, they will comeâŚ

Leave it to Jon Stewart to speak truth to the dim-wit likes of Billo. I am quite sure Billo still does not get it.

Ditto that!
Weâre not all idiots, but a disturbingly high percentage need to get out more - a lot more.
Liberal is just a label after all. And as always, actions speak louder than words.

The truth is there are a lot of idiot liberals (Iâm one sometimes no doubt), and there are a lot of really intelligent conservatives. Iâm not a fan of the âweâre all the smart people, and they are all the idiotsâ attitude from either side.

Donât know why in the world I used that word. It always creeps me out. Itâs almost as bad as saying âmoistâ.
Shawn, like all us white folk, know that most white people have some level of prejudice against blacks. What I donât understand is why he and so many white folks keep acting like everyone, white and black, doesnât know this and making stupid statements about how blacks folks are just making up stories that they have it harder.
