Should Jon Stewart Join an MSM outlet?

I say, yes!

He would be the only one asking hard questions.

1. He can probably ask harder questions as a comedian.
Sad but likely true.

8. EXACTLY! That's the whole point. Being labeled as a "comedian"
allows him to go where others do not dare to go, in the name of "comedy". His position is excellent, and his making the best out of it.

2. Resounding...
NO! He needs to stay on Comedy Central and away from the establishment.

4. No. They would make him pay homage to their political line.
He has more latitude on Comedy Central & a bigger audience, too, I'd bet.
He is engaging the youth into the political process now, which is very important to US!

11. No. The corporate media should...
get out of Dodge...and save people from their addiction to bullshit.

12. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
It's the latitude he gets on Comedy Central that makes him (and Colbert) what he is. Putting him on an MSM program would be the end. He wouldn't be the same having to answer to corporate fucks who blow with whatever the political wind is.

15. Doubt it
I dont thin he probably will at all. Im sure he is making tons of money over at Comedy Central as basically being the face of their network.

17. What The Hell Is MSM???
It sure doesn't refelct the values and issues of the Main Street in my community. The name Corporate Media applies here...and Jon Stewart is already a member of that club.
