can't remember the details but there was a joke made on some program that was about Obama and CNN ran a fact check to show the basis of the joke was wrong.

unprecedented :)

EDIT: it was an SNL skit they fact checked.

Awesome, I found Jon Stewart quotes flaming them.

Fred Armisen (playing Barack Obama) claimed to have done "nothing" since taking office. In this hard-hitting report, CNN found that while many of the president's initiatives have not moved forward, he has in fact done "something" since taking office. Take that, comedy show.

"While you were doing your research did you also find that sharks live in water and don't deliver candy grams... and that the majority of boxes do not have d*cks in them?" Stewart asked. He went on to show several instances of CNN guests saying spurious things and introducing made-up statistics without being asked where their numbers came from or countered with facts.

At the end of the 11-minute segment, Stewart brought in Aasif Mandvi and John Oliver to put the final nails in CNN's coffin. "They're the most professional network in the business, three times more professional. Most people agree they have 20 to 35 to 70% more facts," Mandvi claimed. Oliver countered with this: "They are goat f**kers."

Watching Jon Stewart again tonight. Again confirming that you all are watching a different show than me. Another episode of him going after the policies of both parties. The only agenda that is showing through is his dislike of the two party system.

I just saw an episode of South Park, and I feel obligated to restate my point that South Park is far more balanced than just about any of the news networks and other comedians.

I'm not arguing with that. Parker and Stone might be the smartest people in the entertainment industry. /biased fan

Sticking with the bias argument. People who thinks he has 'an agenda' will find an agenda everywhere.

You consider yourself a conservative, right? You think he's got an agenda. you see where I'm going here?

I don't agree with everything Stewart says/makes fun of - but I don't think he's got an agenda.

i think at the very least it means that he leans heavily liberal. particurally considering i don't find agendas with many other public personas and they all are probably liberal.

Whatever it is, it's about more than simply making jokes.
