Bit late, but someone posted it on Reddit for the 10 year anniversary.
The part I find amazing is the civility maintained throughout, cause if this had been done with two current CNN hosts, someone would be in the hospital for mental distress and the other would currently be contacting Zoe Quinn to find out all of John's personal information for a helldump.

Legit question is mentioning Zoey Quinn's name a meme or something?
This video is always funny to me because Jon didn't even need to explain WHY the show was so shit, the presenters proved it for him by interrupting him every time he tried to explain himself

What a great start to the thread.
Didn't Jon Stewart's appearance basically end this show? Thought it was cancelled not too long after.

It's the Facepunch Law of Gamergate: "Does it belong here? Post it anyways."
I guess this happened before I was old enough to really pay attention to political shows, but holy shit, he completely destroyed these guys. LITERALLY. I just looked it up and they ended the show like, 3 months later because the CEO of the company that produced the show actually agreed with Jon Stewart.
Holy fuck this man is a national treasure.

that appearance absolutely thrashed the show and got it canceled, yeah. [url=http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/12/opinion/begala-stewart-blew-up-crossfire/]According to an interview with the older guy[/url] (not bowtie dude), they had a 90 minute sit down after the show and talked things through with Jon pretty thoroughly (he feels it's the conversation the audience deserved but never got), and while crossfire got canceled he continued as a contributor for CNN and felt much better off for it.

from what I can gather, gamergaters who care more about setting up an enemy to hate than the journalism schtick itself find great humor in exemplifying how SJW™s will overreact to situations and confrontation with logic™
Jon Stewart is a silver tongued criminal :v:
The video comments are surprisingly tame aside from a few idiots that missed the point or feel the need to point out John's opinion is suddenly invalid because he's a liberal.
Even when Jon was criticising them for turning an opportunity for real debate and intellectualism into theatre they attempted to turn that criticism into theatre. Fucking hell.
wow he had such a hate boner for john kerry and that drove his entire fucking debate for 15 minutes. no wonder this show's off the air now.

His reactions and commentary are pretty relevant to that whole trump/kimmel thing going on now.
I enjoy how upset and frustrated Jon looks before they even begin speaking. This was completely deserved criticism at the time, and it needs to happen again in today's world.
He ripped that dude for wearing that bowtie.
They're talking about the 2004 election in 2006.

This was actually in 2004.

And they conveniently ignore all the times he gave shit to the Obama administration on his own airtime. None of the haters ever seem to realize, he's not famous for making fun of Republicans. He's famous for making fun of hypocrites.

Helldump has jack shit to do with Gamergate other than Quinn's participation, [I]if you'd actually bothered to do any research on the context[/I], you'd know that. Which is conveniently one of the reasons this show got cancelled, because it was "hardhitting questions the people need to know about" that was in actuality a fluff platform designed to as a quid pro quo platform on Time Warner commercial platforms, and Stewart acted accordingly.
Journailistic collusion isn't a new phenomenon.
