JON STEWART IS TOO INSIGNIFICANT TO HURT AMERICA
Yes, Hollywood and MSM try to sell Stewart (or whatever his real name is) as something big, but he’s not. His words are able to cause real damage, but it’s not because of him personally, but because of his specific audience. He’s not their leader, he’s just a cook in a third-class restaurant, going to the back door and throwing bones to a pack of hungry street dogs. If he stops, they’ll look for another one. It’s how they live. He doesn’t make them live like that, he just feed them with their favourite food.
“Pew Research found that two percent of Americans — and six percent of young people — identified Stewart as their favorite JOURNALIST”. EXACTLY, that’s the point! Stewart is not a journalist, i.e. HIS AUDIENCE IS STUPID. He makes a show for stupid people. Why do you bother? There allways will be stupid people, but to identify them with “America” …
You say: “Stewart simply tells his core audience what they want to hear”. EXACTLY! If this stupid crowd wants to hear it, it will, no matter from whom. If Stewart will shut up, the next one will come and will feed those idiots with hate and pseudo-information. STEWART MAKES A SHOW FOR STUPID PEOPLE in America, not for all the people in America. How can you hurt America by giving a herd of hate-hungry idiots what they want to have anyway, i.e. by telling them what they already believe?
And again: not only Stewart, even Colbert (“the funniest man in America” or whatever they’ve proclaimed him) cannot outrate South Park. You overestimate the importance and significance of those two. Not all people in America are stupid enough to consider them journalists. And those stupid enough are so stupid that I think it’s a permanent brain damage, so nothing can help them anymore. Even if Stewart suddenly converts to G-d and starts to tell the truth, his stupid audience will look for another hate-monger to feed it. Fortunately, they are not America.
Thus Stewart has no REAL influence on the politics! People voted for Obama because he openly promised them the money of other people, not because Joh Stewart crucified Sarah Palin. Stewart’s audience is stupid, but they were only a small part of Obama voters. Stupidity is typical for liberals, but it’s not the leading feature. Envy and greed of what the others have along with the laziness and unwillingness to earn the same is what makes an Obama voter. Stewart could make up news as long as he wanted, but he couldn’t prevent Bush from becoming President. Because the majority of Americans are not stupid. Unfortunately, it seems, the majority is envious, greedy for other people’s money and lazy. Let’s hope it’ll chage.
P.S. “independent-minded college student” … Sorry, but that’s a 99,9% oxymoron. That’s why Obama is so popular on campuses: students use brains of their libtard professors, that used brains of their libtard porfessors, that used… etc. etc. Yeah, “independent-minded college professor” – another funny oxymoron.
