Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
The difference between him and every other modern talk show host whose clips I sometimes watch is so fucking stark lol.
I was too young to catch his show back then. I’ve since gone and watched some clips but they obviously don’t hit the same.
And the lib shit you mentioned becomes even starker when you watch some other videos from this episode. On YouTube they put up an interview with a lady from the Economist and allows her to spew her economic ideology.
She’s talks positively about how different European liberalism is than American “lefty” liberalism. It starts with her saying it’s about small governments and individualism and bs and compares it, favourably, to Thatcher, Reagan, and Clinton - all while Stewart sits there agreeing.
Then she talks of the real threat being this liberalism being taken over in the mainstream by “big government” and social conservative type of people like Trump, Orban etc.
And how this segment of conservatives support Putin becuase he’s also anti-woke and that is why we must support Ukraine and NATO.
All while I’m sitting here thinking how is this different from any CNN anchor bringing on a “moderate” conservative who’s anti-Trump? It’s the same policies!
Oh yeah, during the woke segment, Jon says the old war between Capitalism and Communism is replaced by Woke and Anti-Woke.
Give me a break.
These ghouls are all the same. Doesn’t matter if they call lthemselves liberals or “European liberals” or social conservatives or whatever the fuck. They are all capitalists.
It’s fun to laugh sometimes, tho. He’s only going to be hosting once a week. The rest of the time it’s some other white dude.
He interviewed the editor of the fucking economist 🤮
I'm out of touch with what libs think. Is China anti-woke? Isn't that literally the same as what some shitbag like Maher opines about?
