Check out the transcript of John Stewart on crossfire

[Champ]

------

STEWART: But my point is this. If your idea of confronting me is that I don't ask hard-hitting enough news questions, we're in bad shape, fellows. (LAUGHTER)

CARLSON: We're here to love you, not confront you.

(CROSSTALK)

CARLSON: We're here to be nice.

STEWART: No, no, no, but what I'm saying is this. I'm not. I'm here to confront you, because we need help from the media and they're hurting us. And it's -- the idea is...

CARLSON: Jon, Jon, Jon, I'm sorry. I think you're a good comedian. I think your lectures are boring.

STEWART: Yes.

CARLSON: Let me ask you a question on the news.

STEWART: Now, this is theater. It's obvious. How old are you?

(CROSSTALK)

CARLSON: Thirty-five. STEWART: And you wear a bow tie.

The whole transcript is good, I regret missing that episode.

1. "You're on CNN."

"The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls. What is wrong with you?"

3. Absolutely brilliant comment.

If the "press" want to treat TDS as real news, they better watch their step, because TDS is far more factual, far less spin-prone, and FAR, FAR better written than the crap on FSCNN.

TDS is more like watching Walter Cronkite than anything the cables have to offer; and I'm old enough to remember Uncle Walter.

2. Brilliant...

Sad that the "fake news" guy has more integrity than the "real" news guys...

"Yeah, but you guys are on CNN. The show leading into mine has puppets making crank phone calls." -- Jon Stewart to the "Hardballs"
