Jon Stewart slams FOX News for “Obama Watch” clock

Jon Stewart rips on FOX News’ Chris Wallace for starting an “Obama Watch” clock — complete with “24″-like sound effects and ticker — that tracks how long it’s been since Obama promised he would appear on FOX News Sunday. Tweety catches flack too for some of the mindless questions he asked the Senator during Wednesday’s Hardball College Tour.

I wonder who posted about the Obama Watch a few weeks ago?

I’d like to see the Fox News guy sit in the chair opposite John Stewart of Colbert.

ferrofluid Says:

As with the Dkos and allies boycott of Faux, theres no reason for Obama or Dems to go on there period.
No racist drooling Faux viewer would vote for Obama anyway, so whats the point in giving them sound bites and ammo for use elsewhere.

I was fearful when Obama visited TX, as were several people I talked to, and think there are horrible overtones to that ‘Obama watch’ business.

OBAMA ROCKS!

I love the way Obama jabs cable news. Good for him.

That Obama clock thing is eerie. I don’t like it for the very reasons that Jon pointed out.

Darn, just when I thought I could end my “Fair and Balanced Watch” clock tracking how long it’s been since FOX has claimed to be fair and balanced and has yet to be even once. 5475:13:53:10

Maybe Chris Wallace isn’t telling all Obama said when he was talking to him face to face. Maybe Obama said I will come on your Fox show……..when hell freezes over.

bullfrog Says:

i love watching this little dip$#!+ chris wallace writhe and squirm ’cause he thinks obama done dissed him.

wallace is like a little kid crying to the teacher because he can’t be on the cool kids team.

try doing some actual journalism, wallace, instead of shilling for a posse of texan outlaws, and maybe folks will take you a little more seriously.

and btw, when was the last time bush met with african-american leaders? how many years has it been? where’s wallace’s bush clock?

Good for Stewart .. He should SHAME over and over and over not only the Corporate Fart called “Tweety” for enacting THE GE GAME PLAN , but the entire Corporate Mafia Media for committing criminal fraud against the American people in their effort to manipulate public perceptions thru their lies, deceit, and outright lying not only about Obama and Clinton, but of course their Corporate Boy McBush in their evil effort to get him installed as the next president so that a government by AND FOR THE FEW, GREED, can be sustained. All of these soul less buffoons should be called out over and over and over and exposed for what they are: a ‘media elite’ who has made their faustian deals to be the millionaire ‘journalists’ doing the bidding of the corporations that own them.

Good for Obama - that was an awesome response to a really stupid question.

Here’s my question though - why the &*%$ is Chris Matthews - Chris Matthews - on a college speaking tour? I find it hard to believe that he ‘reaches’ college students; at least the students who are there to actually use their brain cells for thinking…

Those kids were there to see and hear Obama, I doubt they gave a damn about Chris.

I have a bottle of wine reserved for when Chimpy becomes unemployed, plus a bottle of nasty weak beer for when Snow departs. (it will get poured down the sink)

Obama would probably go on Fox News channel when Fox becomes a news channel.

DirtyDawg Says:

For the umpteenth time I say to Dems everywhere…Don’t bother appearing on FauxNoise - ever! Face it, the only people that watch their sorry asses are more sorry-asses that have long-since made their minds up about anything Democratic or Liberal…and as for some black guy with a Muslim name - you’re shitin’ me right?

It doesn’t matter how much outrage they show…how much they ridicule you…how much they claim foul…they’re only preaching to their own bigoted little choir that’ll never change their minds, so just don’t do it.

Your answer - should you wish to bother yourself, Barack - to Wallace’s whining should be, ‘Hey Wallace, yeah I said I would come on the show. I just didn’t say when. So here’s the deal…I’ll come on your show the last day you broadcast on that rightwing cable network. Do you want that to be now or later?’ Actually, that sounds like an opportunity. President Barack Obama appears on (the F-word) network, and presents them with an order from his FCC canceling their broadcast license.

Sorry to dissapoint, I get all my Fox news from Newshounds > http://www.newshounds.us/ The “We Watch Fox so You Don’t Have to” people.
Bless their hearts, I can’t seem to last more than 3 minutes on your decrepit channel. I don’t know how they do it.

Jon Stewart is amazing! I wish he would have Governor Jesse Ventura on his show. He is making some startling charges on his book (”Don’t Start the Revolution Without Me”) tour . . . wonder if the mainstream press will pick it up?

When did Obama “promise” to appear on FOX News Sunday?

It was when O’Reilly got loud and mouthy and tried to ambush Obama at a rally, he got grabbed by the SS.
Obama shook his hand and said hello to Billo to his credit.

youtube video, O’reilly was slightly justified in being upset as the video shows,
but still funny and he loses it and slightly shoves the smiling large Obama security man.

Chris Wallace still has a job because the American public is fat, complacent, and greedy.
In a country with sentient beings, he would live in the gutter.
Get ready for president McCain!!

Well, sorry to hear that, Baddog. There’s a demographic out there somewhere that we can’t explain that keeps boosting our ratings and we thought it might be you folks. No complaints from us, though.

We’ll hold of on sending you a consumer survery for the time being.

He has a job because he works for the neocon mafia - google “operation mockingbird” - or visit Carl Bernstein’s site . .

VTFootballGrad Says:

Why would a democrat presidential candidate want to go on Fox News when they know they will be declared the looser when the election isn’t over.

There is no reason for Dems to appear on Faux. The only “people” that watch that now failing channel are the most radical and extreme elements in society. Their base is the aging, the stupid, and the white trash.

Check out this Wall Street Journal Op Ed from Juan Williams about the comparison of Martin Luther King and Barack Obama and Rev. Wright. Juan is an paid by FOX and the WSJ which is owned by Ruppert Murdock. Need I say more. He is supposed to provide the “Fair and Balance” person on FOX. Which means oppose the right but don’t oppose too much.
