1. Jon Stewart is flying at Mach 2 while Carlson is trying to catch up in a WWI Spad.

Talking over Stewart is the only way for Carlson to even try to shut him up, and even that didn't work.

Never enter a battle of wits unarmed, and that's what Carlson did.

2. I never forgot that total and complete destruction

It killed the stupid show as well - rude and obnoxious don't quite describe Carlson - he is pathetic.

3. Unfortunately, the help it gave was only temporary

I underestimated the stupidity of the viewing public that they could get sucked in to a network like Fux and that they would pin their logic on a big liar. Fux truly is the pravda of today.

4. My contrarian take on STEWART.

His fans here will be fierce, but it was the seminal puzzlement about him for me. Yes he said the "a-hole" word in the general ambience where f-CARLSON was present, not aimed at him. Then over the many years i saw STEWART play footsie with Glen becKK and O'REILLY something like can't we get along, leading me to skip him forever.

5. That was in October 2004, it was announced in January of 2005 that the show would be canceled.

Jon Stewart's appearance

On October 15, 2004, Jon Stewart, then host of The Daily Show, appeared on the program to promote his book America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction. He used his appearance on the show to raise criticisms of the format of Crossfire and the style of arguments presented on the show. He said the program failed its responsibility to the public discourse and indulged in partisan hackery, reducing news coverage of important issues to a series of talking points from both extremes of the political spectrum: "It's hurting America. Here is what I wanted to tell you guys: Stop. You have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably."[6][7]

Carlson attempted to counter Stewart's criticisms by reading examples of questions Stewart had asked of then-presidential candidate John Kerry during his recent interview on The Daily Show, such as, "How are you holding up?" and "Have you ever flip-flopped?" Stewart argued that unlike Carlson and Begala he was a comedian, not a journalist, and therefore it was not his role to conduct hard-hitting interviews. Begala defended the show on the basis that it was intended as a forum for debate, to which Stewart responded that calling Crossfire a debate show was "like saying pro wrestling is a show about athletic competition."[8] During the exchange, Carlson told Stewart, "I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion," to which Stewart replied, "You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show."[9]

Following his appearance, transcripts and live stream footage were released on the Internet and widely watched and discussed. At a time when the average number of viewers of the show was about 615,000, the episode drew 867,000 viewers.[10] Stewart later stated "It really was not my intent to be disruptive. I truly thought we'd have a goof about how terrible the program is at the top, and move on, but... the combination of their obstinance and my low blood sugar led to no bueno."[11]

I'm sure Carlson hates Stewart for that.,

9. Fucker's real problem is mummy issues

He's one fucke up greedy human being who cares for no one but himself.

He'll self destruct from here on
