So tucker carlson was completely right when he got mad at stewart for not being funny on crossfire?
Couple of things:
He was funny on Crossfire, but he was being a more serious media critic. He wasn't getting paid to go on Crossfire. Same as the Wallace interview. He wasn't on his show.
Like, fundamentally, the "criticisms" of Stewart continue to not make any sense. This is because conservatives are only sort of aware of what Jon Stewart does, but they know it's bad for "their side".
Like, he spents a lot of time flat out embarrassing Fox News on his show. The response to this from conservatives who are understandably uncomfortable at seeing how their beloved Fair and Balanced Fox News is manipulating them is...
He's liberal? He admits that. So?
He's a political comedian/media critic/gadfly, not a real journalist? Yeah, he admits that too. So?
Like, do any of you have a point? It's just random unfocused "nuh uh" complaints about, apparently, the concept of "criticism" as a whole.
He hurts your feelings. You don't like being reminded of how educated urban liberals look down on you.
If you have a specific, identifiable complaint about Stewart make it. I posted two links to his show in the past hundred posts ITT. What did he do wrong in those? What would he need to have done to make those clips OK with you?
