Did Anyone Notice Jon Stewart's Hands Shaking?

[DrFunkenstein]

I think he knew that he was going to do something that would guarantee that he'd never do another show on CNN, that his reputation would turn to mud, that once he did it he could never turn back.

And he did it anyway.

The son of a bitch thought that he might actually make people stop and think for a moment about journalism and democracy and truth.

Jon Stewart, you are my fucking G-d. I loved you before - and I say that as a straight man - but now I love you. You are one of the most decent people that television has ever allowed to exist. I have so much fucking respect for you (I almost never openly curse on this forum, and only do so in deference to you).

To me, that was one of the most raw and real moments I have ever witnessed on TV (that wasn't "shocking," in the Fox channel sense of the word). How often do you see a sincere, naked plea for decency and truth? I don't know what Jon Stewart was thinking in the moments leading up to his appearance, but it seemed to me that he looked down deep into his soul and knew he had to do it.

Jon Stewart is the icepick to the massive chunk of frozen bullshit that is television journalism.

[Generator]

1. He did seem "raw"

Maybe too much coffee, or not enough sleep (new baby). Also I'm sure it's hard for him to not be his funny, kind self, because that's who he is. But sometimes, you gotta take a stand.

[Dehumanizer]

2. Sorry I'm out of the loop..

but what happened exactly?

Comment directly to crossfire.

And while you're at it, mention how rediculously (disgustingly) homophobic their poll is today.

What bullshit.

ARGH!

[IHateFundies]

104. here is my pro-Jon Stewart, anti-CNN hate mail I just sent

Thank you for the link, nomes! :)

Begin Rant:

Jon Stewart has more CREDIBILITY in his little finger than all four of you pathetic corporate media whores. Hurt like a bitch didn't it, suckers? Jon Stewart slapped you around like the pathetic, sniveling boot lickers you are.

I'm getting my news from The Daily Show from now on, CNN is nothing but tabloid National-Enquirer level CRAP.

/Rant

Was that rude?

[newyawker99]

116. Hi nomes!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Kathleen04]

66. Couldnt finish playing for me..

Did they ditch Jon after commercial break or was he still there?

[One Taste]

67. link doesn't work anymore

76. Thanks, I finally got it on..

after more than and hour of downloading and updating Windows!

It's great! Stewart looks Good!

And since I already read the transcript..it's bizarre!

[jab105]

80. Bandwidth exceeded...does anyone else have a link?

thanks!

128. Link doesn't work.

[flowomo]

3. He was great! (but he was clearly drunk)

had to be said, though. And his career will not be hurt.

[rooboy]

8. CLEARLY drunk??? WTF?

[flowomo]

9. my opinion entirely....

but that's what I thought (or a little stoned maybe)

[MADem]

12. I respectfully disagree

He did look like he was putting himself out there, but then, when you have a kid, your life changes. You stop thinking about yourself, and you realize that you influence the future your child will have.

He is so brave, a really cool guy. I have to hand it to him.

He was sober as a good judge. He was neither drunk, nor stoned. He was more articulate than either Tucker or Paul, and the audience LOVED IT.

[belle]

14. oh whatEVer.

[endnote]

36. That is ridiculous.

He was fast and supersharp. You are not that way when you are drunk or stoned....

[KelleyKramer]

55. Yep, JS is a 'stoned slacker'

I just figured out what you're talking about.

31. Don't get drunk and stoned and then post. John rocked simply rocked!!!

[MichiganVote]

40. The only one drunk, as usual, was Carlson

[Kahuna]

112. He certainly was not drunk. His eyes were wide and clear. His speech..

was sharp and cogent. What makes you think he was drunk?

[skylarmae]

4. oh yes, !!!!!

[rooboy]

5. Best exchange of the night...

when JS was expressing how focussed on entertainment they were.

JS: How old are you?
TC: I'm thirty-five.
JS: And you wear a bow tie.

He's simply had enough like the rest of us.

[Gloria]

6. It was tremendous. He could have cracked jokes, he could have plugged

the book bigtime...but he simply stuck to his guns and trashed CNN in particular and the media in general and left Carlson totally off balance and looking downright stupid.

Jon once thought about having a nice 11:30 pm talk show....but I heard him in an interview recently where he said that he knew he had something good on Comedy Central...freedom to knock the system. He signed a 4 year contract. After that, who knows? He probably has more options than if he was a total prostitute to the networks...

[Cha]

23. I, like millions of other,

Love him :loveya:

[checks-n-balances]

10. I didn't see the real thing, only the digital clip of his appearance

He was totally honest and I agree with you about the guts it must have taken.

Maybe it was just because I saw it on my computer, but the way the audience would laugh while JS kept a straight face was kind of surreal. Something about it reminded me of the movie "Network"; then again, Jon Stewart was no Howard Beale (at least not in the sense of having lost his marbles.) Then again, Beale was totally honest, too.

A unique moment in a really unusual day in television.

[DrFunkenstein]

18. Beale, Yes, But Also The Drunk Guy

Who came to a meeting to stop a local toxic incinerator (this is Jersey, after all) right after a funeral of a friend who had died from carcinogens. He seemed like a clean, cut guy, but he spoke both nakedly and eloquently (minus the slurred speech). I never forgot that, and I didn't think I'd bring it up, but Jon Stewart reminded me of that man today (I don't think he was literally drunk, in fact I think he was sober in the extreme).

[Kinkistyle]

11. He was literally begging the two right before commercial break.

Jon was serious as could be, clasping his hands together pleaing for the 2 to just have a real serious discussion with him, and the music starts playing and F*cker Carlson goes into happy commercial break announcement mode. It was heart-breaking to see, because I never have seen Jon so serious before - I almost got misty.

[Lefty48197]

17. That was a real special moment

just before they cut him off. He started right back up when they came back. Thank you so much Jon Stewart, you spoke so eloquently, for SO MANY of us tonight. Thank you!

[realcountrymusic]

13. He is a god

As for damaging his reputation, I don't THINK so. His reputation as the only honest "newscaster" on television just went up a few hundred points.

Stewart/Marr in '08! Now that's the ticket!

RCM

Best. Anti-Bush. Country. Song. Ever.
http://www.takinmycountryback.com/

[Lefty48197]

15. I have to agree. He showed some real passion.

He's p.o.'d at what the media does NOT do for America, and he called out both Tucker and Begala for being part of the charade. Stewart skewered both of them. It was beautiful. I've always been a Begala fan, but Stewart opened my eyes tonight. They really are hurting America. Just like Jon said, we NEED a media, that doesn't just read the parties' press releases. It sure would be nice.

[Cha]

16. From reading the transcript ..I can see what you

mean! IT WAS FUCKING INCREDIBLE!

Thank you, Jon Stewart with all my heart! :loveya: :D

[belle]

19. JS just cruised into Lenny Bruce territory for me.

In honesty I mean, not style, obviously. But he *has* crossed a line. It's not just whether he'll be on CNN again (and given their cynicism, I bet he *will* be if they think it'll pick up their ratings); it's that he's gone from "safe, entertainer" to "dangerous." He actually has been toeing that line for quite a while, for those of us who watch him regularly; but as long as he stayed on Comedy Central he wasn't a threat, as far as the right wing establishment was concerned. Now, though, I bet he is. Anyway, at least as much as Franken is. Which is maybe, you know, not such a bad thing, all things considered. I just hope he has a really thick skin and a healthy personal life; he's going to need it...

[nomes]

20. He shook with PASSION!

Finally! A real patriot speaks!

Everyone has to see this! I'm surprised there's not more of a buzz about it here. All the other forums are flaming!

[baltodemvet]

21. So you're saying...

there is something worth watching on cable?

[DrFunkenstein]

24. No, I Had My Family Tivo It For Me

Which is why I am writing about it so late. Television sucks. As soon as my family agreed to Tivo the Daily Show for me, I cancelled my cable. I go to the gym around the time Inside Politics and Crossfire are on, and that keeps me pissed enough to last the whole day.

[baltodemvet]

35. Ah-Ha!

Soooo if I get a Tivo (got to figure out what that is) and a family (with cable), I'll be set. I guess I'll curmudgeon that but, as my father says to me, "It's a wonderful century you live in!"

[DrFunkenstein]

56. Tivo Records Stuff On TV For You To Watch Later

It also makes a nice espresso!

[requiem99]

22. OH no! Site went down, MIRROR PLEASE!!

[Nana]

25. Yes, please!

[high density]

26. What he said today on "Crossfire" was perfect

Political discussion on TV in general is a disaster.

38. John Stewart to the media: you are hurting America!!

[jdots]

108. He is the Steve Allen

Steve Allen was always there And Jon Stewart is VERY THERE.

[Maiden England]

29. I think he was doing his damnedest to maintain control

Tucker was being a class A jerk, and in the face of that Jon was trying to make a calm and persistent argument. Boy I was shaking right there with him, I was hopping mad too. Jon Stewart is an incredibly intelligent guy. Can you even begin to imagine how insulting it is to not only him, but to all of us, that people actually look to a comedy show for the real news. I think that makes him very angry. He is in a position he does not deserve, nor did he court. He gets critisized for not being a journalist, when he's not. Yet its the 'real' journalists that are the jokes.
I totally respect Jon Stewart. Will it harm his repuation, not a shred, because those that love him feel exactly the same way. He is funny, witty and has integrity, and thank goodness for him.

[mikehiggins]

33. _ucker Carlson

is a dick???

If Jon says so, it must be the truth.

I couldn't download the damn thing. It was beautiful, especially how long it took the talking heads to realize he was kicking their asses.

[sendero]

54. I'm not sure if TC is a dick...

... or just wishes he had one.

Three cheers for Jon Stewart!

[ElectroPrincess]

111. Oh yeah,

I especially cringed when I heard one of Tucker Carlson's initial exchange *fawning remark*

"We're here to LOVE YOU."

What a B.S. remark even for CNN's boy-tie boy.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

34. He has the top bestseller. He'll be back on CNN

.

[Gabi Hayes]

97. like Kitty Kelley?

don't hold breath

could you beLIEVE how fast both she and her blockbuster just dematerialized from public view?

compare that, frinstance, with the Swiftboat BS....it's STILL getting air

[goodwalt]

37. Wow!

Just watched the video. Wow. I really am a big John Stewart fan, but when I read your post, I thought you had wandered into nutty stalker terrain. I was wrong. You were right. John Stewart just passed the Dahli Lamma as the most impressive human being I have ever seen.

[DrFunkenstein]

42. Which Is Not To Say That I Don't Frequent Nutty Stalker Terrain...

The two aren't mutually exclusive -- just ask Stephen Colbert's lawyer (for certain, shall we say, "legal" reasons, I can't ask him myself).

[Nana]

41. Thank you!!! Amazing!

Incredible!!!

[mike from ri]

43. cannot play video

just give me a quick summary

[DrFunkenstein]

48. Check The Transcript

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0410/15/cf.01.html

STEWART: See, the thing is, we need your help. Right now, you're helping the politicians and the corporations. And we're left out there to mow our lawns.

BEGALA: By beating up on them? You just said we're too rough on them when they make mistakes.

STEWART: No, no, no, you're not too rough on them. You're part of their strategies. You are partisan, what do you call it, hacks.

[BuelahWitch]

52. Somebody shoulda stuffed a sock in Tucker's mouth

Little jerk wouldn't let Jon talk, kept trying to get him to make jokes.

[DrFunkenstein]

58. What's Sadder Than Trying To Make A Clown Make You Laugh

And Jon Stewart is no clown. More of a quipster or a wag, really.

[southlandshari]

59. Or gagged him with that freaking bow tie!

n/t necessary

[A-Schwarzenegger]

102. The gist....

STEWART: Where's your moral outrage on this?

CARLSON: I don't have any.

STEWART: I know.

[Tansy_Gold]

119. another telling quote. . .

STEWART: Why do you argue, the two of you?

(LAUGHTER)

STEWART: I hate to see it.

CARLSON: We enjoy it.

[Kimber Scott]

105. It's like he was trying to talk to two monkeys with ADHD.

I hate that show.

[seabeyond]

44. kathy griffin did the same on msnbc........too

big thumbs up to those challenging the media. someone has to for us cause they arent going to listen to us.

[justgamma]

46. Begala said

that he was really, really nervous. I don't blame him. He was trying to reason with the unreasonbly.

[KittyWampus]

47. It Was Biblical. Mythic. An Everyman Pleading For Humanity

[nomes]

51. Like Winston Smith in 1984! (nt)

[Hailtothechimp]

49. Thank you Jon Stewart.

He said things that were long overdue.

[RafterMan]

53. Has anyone got a Stewart contact email?

I want to share some OB-GYN love! What an outstanding contribution.

His pro wrestling analogy was right on, tied only with everything else he said for insight and courage.

The worm has turned.

[Chichiri]

92. Thank you. Torrents are good. (n/t)

[Paxdora]

123. Re: Torrent downloads

How does one play it after the download? Is it in QuickTime? (I can't use that).
Can the file be opened in Windows MediaPlayer? I'm a computer idiot, please don't make fun. I am dying to see the video! I read the transcript, but pictures speak louder than words.

Any tekkie help here would be most appreciated, thanks!

[Zhade]

129. You must have Bittorrent installed to download the actual video file.

http://bittorrent.com/

Download the client, install it, then once you've downloaded the .torrent file of the Crossfire clip, open the .torrent file and Bittorrent will allow you to choose where to save the video file to.

Please leave the torrent window open for a while once you've finished the video download - it helps seed the file so more people can download.

Torrents rule. Great way to download.

[Lisa]

60. he must love his country very much ...

I bet the Bushies are going to harp about how his hands trembled, and they won't even acknowledge that when people of Jon Stewart's calibre are upset -- like when John Kerry's eyes look sad, or Al Gore and Howard Dean shout so the whole room knows how they feel, or Michael Moore chokes up when he's talking about his hometown -- that something has gone seriously wrong and those in power MUST stop before it's too late.

There's a guy I know from the Middle East, who is very critical of not just US foreign policy, but America itself. I made a tape of Jon Stewart's show, and persuaded him to take it home to watch. The next day I asked him how he felt about it, and he said he thought it was funny and that Stewart made some excellent points, better than CNN. And I pointed out that clearly the Daily Show audience was in agreement with the host, so there must be SOME Americans who are intelligent and well-informed enough to know about the issues. That was the beginning of a door opening up, and so the other day, when my friend was grumbling about the US and Ariel Sharon being against Arabs, I noted that Jon Stewart is Jewish and there are plenty of American Jews who don't agree with the administration. And he calmed down and agreed that this was true. So the very fact that guys like Stewart and Moore are making their views known is helping show people from other cultures that Americans aren't all following behind Bush.

[Maiden England]

61. there is a contact form on comedy central

they will forward fan mail to the daily show, thats the closest I've come today to finding an email for Jon Stewart.

[DrFunkenstein]

62. I Imagine That They'll Talk About His Open Endorsement Of Kerry

Stewart did his best to pretend he was objective, but I think he decided that the moment had passed for such things. Or rather, that this is an utterly bankrupt notion of "objectivity." Pretending not to have convictions is stupid, but you should be searching for truth, not nuetrality.

When you think about it, this is one of Stewart's big gripes with the media. They mistake the impression of nuetrality for the search for truth.

[Lisa]

63. great point!

Because our culture equates "objective" with being fair and trustworthy, there is an increasing tendency for authority figures to put on the appearance of objectivity, even if they actually aren't. And when you think about it, there are many ways in which the establishment -- government, business, academia, the media -- have a definite ideology, yet act as if their view is the "normal" one to have, and shouldn't have to be justified. If Jon Stewart wants to puncture the impression of neutrality, more power to him!

[DrFunkenstein]

70. How Do You Feel When CNN Constantly Asks You To "Trust" Them?

That always creeps me out, the whole "Trust CNN" thing. It's like those subliminal signs in that old movie "They Live" that say "sleep" and "conform."

[Lisa]

74. I think it's funny!

If they feel they have to issue that kind of reassurance, they either think that viewers are too dumb to figure out whether or not a source is credible -- or they're trying to convince us of something that isn't so (like shady retailers who brag about their wares being cheaper and more reliable than anyone else's). Either way, they don't seem to think much of the audience.

Oh, and don't get me started on FOX. "We report." Well, if you're a news show, isn't that what you're supposed to do? It's like a grocery store putting up a "We sell food" sign. "You decide." Decide what? Whether or not you're credible? Do you mean that we're not supposed to make a decision on anything until we've seen your broadcast? Bizarre.

[DrFunkenstein]

75. I Think "Believe CNN" Would Be A Better Slogan

Or "CNN: We're Not A Bunch of Lying Pricks Like Those Other Guys." Either one works for me.

[evilqueen]

91. I learned a long time ago that "trust me" really means...

"fuck you"

It's what every military enlisted person knows.

[Political_Junkie]

64. This is a beautiful thing.

I knew that man was special the first time I saw him. Thank you, Jon, for being our voice.

[enigmatic]

65. Stewart was hysterically funny..

and right on the money. Bravo, Jon.

[pretzel4gore]

68. he's the new generation's Hunter S Thompson!

it was such a tonic to see it ....truth really is so fukken cool, so thrilling!

[henslee]

69. Sure did. Going up against the "disappear you" crowd is a brave thing....

His voice sure didn't shake though.

I love that man.

[helnwhls]

90. yeah he should avoid small aircraft

[LuminousX]

71. We must respond in kind

Jon has taken a bold step, one I never thought about. He begged the media to work for the people. I've called them whores, I've called them shills, I've called them mindless drones, I never once thought that maybe I should plead with the media to help me.

Jon was truly the Everyman tonight.

We must make sure everyone sees Jon's performance. I got a .wmv file of the Crossfire show and plan on burning it to cd's to hand out and putting the file on my anonymous ftp server for download.

[DrFunkenstein]

81. See Post #72

Your reputation preceded you!

[Media_Lies_Daily]

82. He was under control, but he was VERY angry...that's why...

...his hands shook, IMHO. He was just pissed off at the captive mainstream media and the Crossfire bots caught the full blast.

Good for Jon...I hope somebody in the world of journalism will take it seriously.

[DrFunkenstein]

83. I Think Maybe A Small Part Of Him Likes To Always Please People

Which is common with comedians, and it was hard for him to be a "dick" to these guys. But then again, there were a range of emotions going on (I believe), and sometimes you have to make the people standing in front of you uncomfortable to do the right thing.

[Gregorian]

85. This is a tear jerker. This is sad. Very sad.

My heart is pounding. And Tucker Carlson is exposed as the 14 year old whom he really is. I cannot believe he gets paid as much as he does. I also cannot believe that noone, noone has done what Jon did, until now. When was the Fairness Doctrine repealed!? And it took twenty fucking years?! What an outrage! I stopped watching the god damned news in the mid 80's, and it took until 2004 for a comedian to fucking call them on it. I think I'm going to have a heart attack. I feel sick.
Thank you Jon. Thank you. I knew you were a hero the moment you sat on that stage at the Daily Show. I knew it. Now we all know it.
I'm sorry to say that the patient is in much worse shape than I thought. But maybe there is a chance of recovery.

[juslikagrzly]

87. None of the links work for me

I've got a MAC, with quicktime and windows media. Any help??? I'm dying to see it. His show is the ONE we refuse to miss.

88. More fun than a pool

full of fat guys. I remember when Jon had a show on MTV, and liked him then. This is a beautiful moment. His reputation will SKYROCKET from this, the people who will be turned off or offended don't get it anyway. On a related note I can hardly wait to read what the dailyhowler will have to say about this.

This is our big chance, let's go for it!

96. I just read the

transcript (the links don't work 4 me) Begala & carlson R complete assholes. I am sooooo glad I stopped watching CNN in '94. The TWO questions, they ALLOWED @ the very end of the show, they didn't even let Jon answer......'n bowtie boy was pissed cuz Jon wasn't entertaining him? I loved Jon telling him he wasn't his trained monkey.

I had tried B4 2 send Jon 'atta boy' emails 'n have never been successful in finding a link. He deserves a huge 'WAY 2 GO' 4 attempting 2 make begala & carlson take a hard look in the mirror 'n recognize their shallowness. Jon was being very generous in allowing begala & carlson 2 B seen on the same screen w/ him.

[bliss_eternal]

101. I'm soooo sorry that I missed this...BUT

I am reminded of Jon Stewart speaking after his show started taping again after 9/11. It was incredibly moving and brought me to tears. I was completely taken off guard, and didn't get to tape it or anything. He shook that night too.

All I remember is that he spoke about Martin Luther King Jr., about the country, bigotry... I thought he was going to cry. I did.

Thank you for providing links. I will definitely write a letter of appreciation. Can anyone tell me how to archive or save this thread so I can access it easily in the future?

Thanks,

[Gregorian]

120. Ha! So, calling Tucker a "dick" would cost a million dollars?!

What's even funnier is that they couldn't print "dick". It took me five minutes to figure out what the fuck they were talking about, when they took the liberty to substitute for "dick". That's about the saddest thing I've ever seen. Like some ten year old could possibly find injury in that? Like some ten year old would even be fucking read a newspaper? Like "dick" would be offensive compared to 70,000 dead people in Darfur!!!!!! Fuck the media. I am outraged.

However, it's hilarious that the FCC can't touch The Daily Show about that. Ha, ha, ha.

And just for that, I have prepared a special Dick Powell photoshop---

115. Jon Stewart said what I would dream to say if I ever got in his position.

My god, I am so proud of him. We need more like him.

[HuskerDem]

121. One of the most touching things I've ever seen

I liked him very much. Now I know he hurts as much as we do.

134. His reputation turn to mud?

I don't know how you get that....

[BlueNomad]

135. I saw it...

and yes his hands were shaking.I felt for him. I knew then that he was really trying hard to make an earnest statement. Carlson looked extremely embarrassed despite trying to stay ahead of that crashing wave...
