Last week, Jon Stewart was interviewed by that guy on TV who my grandfather watches all the time. You know who I'm talking about. He's on that channel with Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers. What is it? TBS?  PBR?

Anyway, Jon was, like, supercool and sh*t, and the old guy seemed kinda nice. I think I bought that same tie he was wearing for my dad's birthday a couple years ago. He liked it. My dad's a nice guy, too.

Jon Stewart is ANTI-PAPAL and his soul will rot in HELL!

You might listen to this audio from Itunes or this site. You might have a different view of Bill Moyers, beyond the old guy with funny ties.

I have to disagree with you. I want to believe that Jon Stewart is out to provide a non-biased (or at least not extremely so) information source. Instead whenever there is a politician or official on the show he reverts into primative Bush-bashing. Its really disappointing to try to get some nuggets of info out of the director of the CIA when Jon is (weakly) trying his hardest to pry out an anti-administration/anti-Bush/anti-Iraq statement out of him. The man was trying to say that he was not an elected official but a member of the beareaucracy. it was his job to provide information, thats it. And Jon first tried to get a personal opinion from him. Then jon tried to make it sound like he was trying to sell the intell to the President before the war. Then he tried to get him to make an agreeing statement about being osticied for not (reportedly) being a member of Bushs inner circle. Ok Jon we get it. You hate Bush. Got it. But you know it really hurts your credibility when you never miss a bashing opertunity. Honestly it just makes you look stupid and ignorant, and petty. And when your guests nicely try to check you and you cant take a fucking hint, well that doesnt say much for you either. Its reminescient of watching a dog run into a wall over and over.

Jon Stewart proves here that 'The Daily Show' is the most patriotic show on TV today. He wants to affect change and he goes after the illogical, the lies, the mistakes, the power mad in order to make it better. Just wrote about it in my blog (Is The Daily Show patriotic?): http://hatchling.blogspot.com/2007/05/is-daily-show-patriotic.html

I think that Stewart and Colbert are frustrated with a lot of things, and make fun of a lot of things, but yes, a lot of jokes are anti-bush. They'd be the first to admit that. Not all comedy has to be high art or socially critical. Furthermore Jon has the greatest respect for McCain, as most so-called "liberals" do, because McCain represents something that so few in politics do: integrity. I hate to see him defend "talking points" the way he does now. If he agrees with Bush, that's one thing, that's fine and good and he can defend that position, but hiding behind these generalized republican talking points is stupid. Most politicians are worse than McCain when it comes to that. But I don't think that Jon is just speaking for himself when he asks for a real conversation. Imagine if everyday your wife made you crappy meatloaf and mushy peas for dinner and everyday you asked her not to, and the only thing she ever said was "Meatloaf is easy to make. Peas are good for you." It's time to stop this useless banter and actually talk about how to get out of this war. People need to stop arguing and just agree "yes, we do need to leave Iraq. Now let's all think of a way out of it that will not hurt the Iraqi people." I'm sick of the meatloaf and peas, damn it! And I don't think I'm the only one.

both moyers & stewart have a right to their opinion. i mean, the point of the show is to hold "a kaleidoscope up to the light and turning it to see ideas and events through different perspectives." & do you know how many people american's have killed over senseless wars?! muslims target us. we target innocents who want nothing to do with us being in their country [ex: korea, vietnam, IRAQ] but aren't doing anything about people who are really suffering [ex: genocide in africa, starving children all over the world, unfiltered water in china]

Dear Mr. Stewart: I am sure you fancy yourself as some kind of Voltarian thinker but you're a punk and an amateur. In your interview with Bill Moyers (who by the way defended the Vietnam War) you said something about the government 'making us fearful.' Muslims have been attacking American citizens since the 1983 bombing ofthe Marine barracks. And I guess according to you 9/11 was a minor incident.(More deaths than at Pearl Harbor and Omaha Beach) They have mutilated American citizens and American soldiers if that doesn't make you afraid, you're an idiot. But then again there were many who thought Hitler wasn't dangerous either.

Your comedy is Bush bashing from start to finish. HOW PEDESTRIAN. Finally, I doubt that you have spoken to more soldiers than John McCain. You and the likes of Sean Penn and Michael Moore would not equal half the man McCain is.

Great interview. Jon and Stephen are doing great work, and it's so nice to see them in interviews like this one. Thanks to Jon for doing this and thanks for pointing cool shit like this out for us, comedy central blogosphere!

Young and pretty doesn't mean you're good.

Bill Moyers is a stand up dude who knows his stuff and has the personal ethics to look for truth. This is while the pretty boys and girls sell out to the highest bidder and read what is flashed in front of them without a brain cell in gear.

I would rather listen to Bill.

What is the difference between Texas and Rhode Island?

Answer: In Texas, people are such shanty micks that they are so ashamed to know that they are a mick that they come up with ideas like 1st wave black Northern Irish Free range roman/anglo catholic and try to make abortion illegal with the hopes that people won't think they are micks.

Answer: In Rhode Island, people are such shanty micks that they are so ashamed to know that they are a mick that they come up with ideas like 1st wave black Northern Irish Free range roman/anglo catholic and try to make abortion illegal with the hopes that micks will put an anglican new englander and have him take so many drugs that he has a kid in Texas that the idea of him is so messed up that even people native to Texas that have half a clue will not even know that they are in Rhode Island because they can't except reality, that just the look on there face will cause a mick to smoke so much salvia that he will change his name to Timothy McCarthy so the idea of him will cause Ted Kennedy's illegitamate fetus to brain wash Ed Kennedy's mistress through DNA intelligent design that she will have the ability to feel so inferior that she pretended that she couldn't swim and new that micks were such Sh**ty drivers that they couldn't be sober enough to not crash into the only bridge to martha's videyard. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda They assassinated in JFK in Dallas in broad daylight to see if micks in Texas actually thought RI thought Patty Kennedy couldy be shanty enough for it to be logically impossible to dethrone him. You'd have be insane enough to give a kennedy a labotomy to think you could get Patty Kennedy to rape a baby sitter. You Joe I wanna suck your mistresses hood.
