In response to 3.3.3.'s complaint, Tayssir John Gabbour wrote:

In interview after interview, The Daily Show people point out they're
not an activist venture, and the show's not what people are trying to
make it out to be. They explicitly refuse any responsibility. The
persona Jon Stewart plays claims that the media is nuts, but he
doesn't seem serious about looking at the fundamental causes. Even
though nutty systems imply fundamental, nutty systematic reasons. And
even though Noam Chomsky's probably his most requested guest. (As
Chomsky is for Real Time with Bill Maher.)

...............

And I think it's noteworthy to point out that for some time, Tayssir
has been stating this precise point about the limitations of Stewart's
show.

And 3.3.3...

If you want people to discuss a topic you're keen on, it's a very bad
idea to begin with an insult: "when are all of you serious and deep
liberals going to start..." heavily seasoned with a gross caricature
of another thread's focus: "If this list is so absolutely piss scared
of Obamafascism..."

"Obamafascism"?

WTF?
