Jon Stewart or Bill O'Reilly??

[snoopy]

Bill O'Reilly's MO is to pose as a middle-of-the-roader or a conservative Democrat while pushing the ideals of the far right. I listen to him ocassionally, as he is on the same radio station as Howard Stern, who I listen to in the morning. When I go out to lunch, if I haven't changed the dial, I'll hear him and depending on what he has to say and if it interests me, I may or may not listen. I rarely agree with him, but I have the ability to tolerate people with whom I don't agree.

I enjoy Jon Stewart's blend of humor and insight and cutting edge satire.

Watch both but certainly enjoy Jon Stewart more. He's smart, and unlike O'Reilly, does not take himself so seriously.

 

[Pete's Mom]

Both for entertainment purposes.

Let me ask this: those that "like him," I assume that's in the same way I liked Bozo the Clown as a kid?

You know I used to totally HATE HATE HATE the guy. I do disagree with him ALOT. But I like to hear other points of view not just ones I agree with most of the time.

Bill O'Reilly, he's like a train wreck. I keep watching the show though. I enjoy watching obnoxious people for kicks.

Jon Stewart is better. I'm not suprised about the education thing.

Every night, after hanging out at the drug store all day, I like to throw on my sweats, order a pizza, light up a doobie, and get my news from Jon Stewart.

Seriously, I have a major crush on him.

I stoped watching O'Reiley when he did that peice on gay days at WDW. He tried to make it seem like gay couples were over running the place, shoving their alternative lifestyle down the throats of wholesome families. Totaly biased, facts not checked, all kinds of journalistic problems with that report.

I can handle people with differant opinions, but slopy reporting drives me NUTS!

I love John Stewart though, its a fantastic show!

The sad thing about it is that I'm probably taller than him.

I can only vouch for the two college grads in my household and we watch the Daily Show on a regular basis.

Jon Stewart, to his credit, doesn't believe he's God.

I am also totally unsurprised that Stewart's audience is better-educated.

Well, far be it from msnbc to do a story that makes a show on Fox News look bad.

I LOVE Jon Stewart! He's funny, very intelligent & hey, really easy on the eyes as well!

since when does "college educated" = "intelligent"?

Has his IQ been reported? I hadn't heard.

Uh... Jon Stewart relies heavily on writers to tell him what to say.

A Bush supporter is complaining about someone relying heavily on others telling him what to say?????

Ohh, that's a good one!

Actually, Jon is one of the main writers for the show. His new book (with the rest of the Daily Show team) is absolutely hysterical.

I'm a very conservative Republican so I don't always agree with Jon Stewart, but I love the show anyway. I never watch Bill O'Reilly, he pisses me off. DH loves both shows. (He's a Fox News junkie.)

And let's just say Jon is one of the five on my list.

Well-educated adult male who prefers O'Reilly.

Jon Stewarts new book is a riot. It's actually kind of non partisan - it mocks everyone....it's very funny.
