The matter is of color. Mr. Obama believes in red. Americans believe in red, white, and blue.

We agree investigation of A CON and its founder is long overdue.

Where did Mr. Stewart go? Who is this impersonator? The real Mr. Stewart would have demonstrated how to create a video tape smear tactic. I bet Stewart probably inspired these "high schooler's".
Hey Stewart: Are you yet as smart as a fifth grader?

Mr.Edwards will never give credit where credit is due: Fox News, Glenn Beck and internet blogs/conservative news media like Breitbart.com.....all of the above are the only journalists left standing, the rest are kneeling at the altar of Obama!

Sep 16, 2009

He asked the right question - "where the hell were you?"
Could be asked of the Van Jones episode, and for that matter - of the entire presidential campaign and the press' not vetting Obama objectively.
Where the HELL were they??

Sep 16, 2009

At least he is speaking now. This is a start! Maybe his Kool-Aid rations didn't show up this week, who knows. Maybe this was a one time thing for Stewart or maybe he is just trying to save his career and get in on the Conservative movement. Either way, the more truth about ACORN and this administration that gets out, the better off we all are!

This goes beyond bias. Since the beginning of the presidential campaign the media malpractice has been criminal. They seem to be dying a slow death of self inflicted rat poison - a quarter teaspoon a day doled out in their lies and ommissions. Makes ya wonder if "journalists" are also the recipients of our tax dollars through payoffs from the ACORN/Democrat Machine. Simple bias does not make sense anymore as it is obvious career and reputation suicide. Under the table money does make sense. It's the only thing that does.

Where is the leadership? Oh, I forgot, they are on their way to the bank with their donation checks from SEIU. We,as 60 minuets proved 20 years ago when they used to do some journalism, have the best government money can buy. Sorry folks, we have no leadership.

I'm so glad at least Jon Stewart from the entertainment left is with us on Acorn.

The question for the U.S. Attorney General and members of Congress is:
Do we want to allow this kind of corruption to have an ATM card from the American people, or teach people how to break our laws and cheat the American taxpayer?

The answer is pretty obvious, and they better start showing some accountability and respect to the taxpayers that keep them employed.

Sep 16, 2009

You're right, Rookie. Look into your local govt. I'll bet you your county has given tax payer money to this corruption machine too. Mine has. It is a cancer that may be terminal to our country. Who is going to investigate? Who will be impartial and untainted?

Sep 16, 2009

This is unbelievable. Doesn't surprise me with liberal television. They don't want any negative stories to reflect upon Obama, after all, ABC, NBC and CBS supported Obama and they support ACORN.

Sep 16, 2009

Where were they? Oh, please. You know exactly where the "media" were. Hiding under Obama's skirts.
Kneeling at Obama's altar as the other poster said. Heads buried in the sand at Obama's feet. The "media" are just sickening shills. That's all.

Sep 16, 2009

Only limited Kudos to Stewart on this one. He still denied all the other corruption issues with ACORN that ARE going ahead. But at least he's opened his eyes a little.

Sep 16, 2009

Don't worry, this is just a blip for jon stewart. He is also too far entrenched with the left for this "outrage" to continue.

Sep 16, 2009

I've been wondering when the moral weight of carrying water for Obama would finally become too much for some liberal... Maybe this will inspire a few more...

Sep 16, 2009

The fake prostitute and pimp went from ACORN to ACORN for months before they finally found one soft on prostitution. Which goes to prove: if you look hard enough, even at ACORN you can find a Libertarian.

Sep 16, 2009

Is investigating not an important responsibility of being a journalist? Are there investigative journalist anymore? Thank you Mr. Stewart for asking the question that I've been asking for almost a year.

Sep 16, 2009

Investigative and journalist are an oxymoron
What's almost as bad - that they are now interviewing each other as the experts on various subjects. That is just downright laughable,

Sep 16, 2009

Don't look now Jon, but the absent media have taken to calling anyone not towing the Obama party line a racist.

Sep 16, 2009

Jon won't continue this, he will be obliterated by the left. They will shut down anyone who doesn't think like them. It is good that we are getting some of this information before they succeed in shutting them all up. Keep your senses about you, this is just the beginning of our troubles as a nation.

Sep 16, 2009

There are not many journalists. Not as many as journalists think. I don't know if they are ordered to or paid for the trash they spew. The media as in banking should be un-merged from large corporations. Create competition.

Sep 16, 2009

There's more...OBAMA offered us his work as an ACORN COMMUNITY ORGANIZER was his qualifications to be PRESIDENT and NO ONE in the press asked...WHAT THE F^cK IS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER?

ANSWER: Obama is a rock throwing America Hating Rabble Rousing ACORN Marxist WHO SEPNT 20 YEARS IN REV. WRIGHT'S CHURCH OF HATE!!

ITS NOT THAT OBAMA IS BLACK OR WHITE OR GRAY...OUR FIRST PRESIDENT OF COLOR IS RED!

NEWS FLASH!!!!! THE MEDIA IS A PROPAGANDA ARM OF THE NEW DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY

Sep 16, 2009

HEY JOHN....NEWS FLASH: THE MEDIA IS THE PROPAGANDA WING OF NEW DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY.

CAN THEY IGNORE JOURNALISM? YES THEY CAN!

CAN THEY IGNORE OBAMA'S MARXIST ROOTS? YES THEY CAN!

CAN THEY IGNORE HIS MARXIST CZARS? YES THEY CAN!

CAN THEY ACCUSE ALL OF OBAMA'S OPPONENTS RACISTS? YES THEY CAN!

ARE THEY JUST LIKE THE LAST NATIONAL SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY? .. YES THEY CAN!!!!

Sep 16, 2009

Name one prominent Democrat that was ever "ambushed" by Sixty Minutes. CBS invented ambush journalism; but Charlie Gibson of ABC didn't even know about this story -- probably because all of his news has been "properly vetted" according to MSM principles.

This, of course, means news santitized of any potential stories about liberals or their pets.

Sep 16, 2009

Gosh, John - you just figured out that the mainstream media is shilling for Obama and the Neomarxist Left? Why the change of heart? Did George Soros take you off his Xmas list?

Sep 16, 2009

Naaa Johns good Ive seen him bash both sides ill quote him " I dunno its what I do" Funny guy and you cant expect every soul to be 50/50. My to pennies

Sep 17, 2009

Most of the people posting below are wingnuts. Bashing Steward although they clearly don't watch his program or else they would appreciate his independent political views. I still take ACORN more seriously than the 700 club or whatever you consider a "conservative" organization.

Sep 17, 2009

The lefties are imploding.

They keep trying to fight the news headlines by shooting the messengers, but how can they claim that Glenn Beck and Fox News don't tell the truth when Van "Red Green" Jones just cleaned out his desk and ACORN is getting roasted on an open fire?

See, that's what happens when you try to fight reality with rhetoric. Sooner or later, reality always winds up laughing in your face.

Sep 17, 2009

You know, there's a bit of sunshine in every story - if you just look for it.

Why isn't anyone pointing out how "nice" these people from the BIG CITY are?

Small town America has been attacking big cities for being rude my entire life... and, well, the video evidence just throws that claim right out the window!

I'd like to call on my Senator - Harry Reid to lead up an investigation into how we reverse the trumped up charges against big city people for being rude... obviously they're not.

Sep 17, 2009

If its honest it's not news. We thrive on dishonest people pulling off a hoax and getting away with it. I don't have an answer to a correction but with time it will come.

Sep 17, 2009

hey

Sep 17, 2009

Jon, that's why we love you!!

Sep 17, 2009

Jon Stewart needs to check his sources that nothing came of the 'voter fraud' claims. Didn't eleven people from ACORN in Florida get arrested for that like a week or two ago?

Sep 18, 2009

Where were the Alphabet reporters???? in bed and in the tank completely with their Dem pals in Acorn, John.To Out the Ignorance and Stupidity in Acorn would be to out it amongst themselves as well, John.Please remember this john,to ridicule unmercifully those on the other side of your political views can lead to a loss of your career...ala The Dixie Chicks,Rosie O,Kanye West,Ward churchill etc etc....Please keep it civil or we will FIRE you too

Sep 19, 2009

Don't watch much T.V. I don't know who Mr. Stewart is, but a very big thumbs up to him. That he actually said what I was thinking about the big news networks. When the news broke on Acorn, I started looking for the stories on T.V. Nothing, Nothing. No wonder their viewership is down.

Sep 19, 2009

Hey Commentator, What station do you watch? I saw 4 different tapes in four different cities. Guess what, I heard that after these have had a chance to soak in, that there is more to come. Gosh, truth is vengence in this case!!!!

Sep 20, 2009

You can sum up the integrity of news from MSNBC,CNN,ABC and Yahoo! with one word - TRASH!

Dec 3, 2009

its so true that when all the major news agencies never found about Acorn , Giles a 20 year old did the job quite easily, no media was ready to expose Acorn, Stewart knew this and he was yelling towards the camera asking “Where were the real reporters on this story…Where the hell were you?" Newer an younger generation would come in more as time passes and find out more truths about social injustice

Yeah, the MSM was not reporting this, and I see that Jon really gives Fox News, the only media outlet that covered ACORN as a ripoff, credit. OH, what? He didn't praise Foxnews? Suck it.
