back before fox news bill orielly was actually a real journalist who questioned the system. i will say this he does have advanced degrees and listening to him i occasionally learn something compared to sean hanity (no college degree).

jon stewarts real name is jon stuart leibowitz. he dropped the Leibowitz from his name and changed the spelling of his middle name from "Stuart" to "Stewart. his brother is Larry Leibowitz the chief operating officer of the New York Stock Exchange. its funny to me when acts like he is a regular guy talking about wallstreet as criminals when his brother is one of the main guys running it.

I wonder why he's trying to hide his Jewish name.

How the heck is Jon Stewart supposed to control what his brother does...

Huh? I'm pretty sure there are demagogues in other countries. It's far from an American phenomenon.

This sort of thing is exactly the reason that our political system is all fucked up. People care more about rooting for their side than they do about getting it right. Politics has become a spectator sport.

Absolutely spot on. People don't want facts and truth. They only want evidence to support their existing beliefs.

Isn't there a bit of an anti-Jewish movement in the US? Maybe he did it to be more marketable.
