Jon Stewart Rips Fox a Brand New One

So you don't believe that the vast majority on the left push for principles that they believe are right and just?

You think it's a giant grab for power among millions?

I think the Leftists are (1) on the surface, playing for the universally known agenda... that is... much like the utopian hippie ideal of "everybody together".. "nobody higher/better than anyone else".. and all with big government the arbiter of everything. What that REALLY means is the hoi polloi accept mediocrity so that the governing elites can live at the expense of the rest of us slaves. (Not unlike the Soviet Union before its collapse.) (2) The Left realizes that... with parasites and ne'er-do-wells having a vote, they can MAKE society be like the above... with politicos capitalizing upon that fact at ever turn... in order that they be on the "winning side".

Most Leftists think they are winning. What they don't understand is that there isn't enough "pie to go around". Most supporters of the Left will be "left out in the cold", as there is only enough gravy for the ruling elite.

From the Leftists' POV... it's all about the governing elite's power and control... the rest of us can just GO TO HELL OR DIE! And unfortunately, the Left now has "critical mass".

As Stewart fades into the sunset...Fox moves on......

As Jon Stewart's final Daily Show approaches, the comedian has mercilessly mocked Fox News Channel, even comparing Roger Ailes to Death. It’s almost like he’s daring the network’s chairman and CEO to respond. Now, he has.

"He’s been after us for years. Occasionally we pay attention. We think he’s funny. We never took it seriously and he never made a dent in us," Ailes told The Hollywood Reporter after being contacted on Wednesday.

The Fox News chief added: "As he faces the end of his career, he’s beginning to wonder: ‘Is this as popular as I’m ever going to get? Is this as much power as I’ll ever have? The one person I could never get rid of was Roger Ailes. I tried. I did everything I could.’ This was all a plea to his lefty friends. I think he’s disappointed that he didn’t accomplish that goal, and we, of course, supplied him with half of his comedy. It’s just a matter of disappointment."

During his show last week, Jon Stewart showed a clip of the Ingmar Bergman movie, The Seventh Seal, only he substituted Ailes for the Death character. Ailes told THR he hadn’t seen the segment, but he isn’t surprised at the vitriol aimed at him.

“He’s feeling unrewarded because Fox News beats him on the amount of money we make, on ratings and on popularity. I’m sure it’s very depressing when he sits home at night and worries about it. We never did,” Ailes said.

"He’s a brilliant comedian. He’s actually a very nice guy, and I saw him with his kids on the street. He’s a good father. He has a bitter view of the world and you see it embodied in how he’s reacting to Fox News, equating it with death."

On an episode of his Comedy Central show this week, Stewart did his best to eviscerate Fox News yet again, but then ended the segment on an unusually serious note: “I’m just playing around with you guys. Your hypocrisy isn’t a bug in the Fox model. It’s the feature. Your job is to discredit any source of criticism that might hurt the conservative brand by angrily holding them to standards you yourselves jettisoned in your news network’s mission statement. But I’d be happy to listen, if you make an actual argument.” See the segment below.


Ailes said he didn’t take even that attack all too seriously. "You can’t say that many negative things about people unless you’re really unhappy about something," he said. "I actually think he doesn’t dislike me. We met once or twice. I talked to him for an hour once in my office. I think he’s really smart and he’s got a great future."

At Fox News, perhaps? “No. He can’t come over here. He would depress everyone,” Ailes said. “I could get him a job. Not on air. As a stage-hand.”

Ailes also took a jab at Stewart’s nascent career as a film director that began in 2014 withRosewater, a drama about a journalist captured in Iran. The movie made just $3.1 million worldwide.

You guys think he did that to make money? Really? You think that was the topic he chose because of the big bucks? You're judging an adult with your grade school ruler.

And for those of you intellectual heavyweights who think he's quitting because he's washed up, you do realize that he reportedly turned down a $50 million contract to stay on The Daily Show, right?

Not surprising when you consider this:

You should be so washed up.

Lends more weight to Ailes' theory that he's quitting because he had hoped to make a dent, but never had.

I deleted the post you quoted because I knew it would fall on deaf ears. Thanks for the confirmation. You don't think he made a dent?! Yeah, you go with that.
 
FF, seriously, what is his average audience? Most people have never even heard of him. You think he's enormously important because liberal millenials worship him but in fact, Ailes is right. He has had next to no influence except maybe on true believers like you. Still, I give the guy credit. He saw an opening and used it to make himself a lot of money.
 
This is what 'pork face' Ailes had to say,
of course , he waited till Swewart went off air.

on Stewart will host his final episode of "The Daily Show" on Thursday night, and Roger Ailes made sure to hurl a few insults at him on his way out the door.

The Fox News chairman and CEO told The Hollywood Reporter that Stewart probably feels disappointed he never got "rid of" him.

"As he faces the end of his career, he’s beginning to wonder: ‘Is this as popular as I’m ever going to get? Is this as much power as I’ll ever have? The one person I could never get rid of was Roger Ailes. I tried. I did everything I could,’" Ailes said in the interview, published Wednesday. "This was all a plea to his lefty friends.

You don't read all that well. I didn't give my opinion, just quoted what Ailes said, and coupled with the fact that Stewart didn't need the money, pointed out that played into Ailes' comments. That's all.
