Freedom of speech does not constitute obscenity nor was it ever meant to, also to make “kids” have gun deaths as the largest they have to include 15-18. Of course what Stewart wont mention is if you take blacks out of the equation the gun deaths are virtually non existent.
That's being generous. I believe the study that was going around at the time went up to 20 years old.
Yeah, they want to make it out like white kids are killing other kids at school every day; that's the picture they're trying to paint, through decades long narrative campaigns and obfuscation and misleading presentation of the facts. They won't mention that the vast majority of those deaths are not in schools, and that it's a gang culture and justice problem, not a gun problem. Ironically, if our justice system was as anti-black as they claim, or just worked in general, these problems largely wouldn't exist. If the system actually tried to keep violent criminals off the streets, such relatively high gun death numbers wouldn't be sustainable.
If it’s the same study they always reference, it also excluded children under 1 year old because then it skewed back to diseases and birth defects as the leading cause. In other words, to get to “leading cause of death” someone had to seriously fuck around with the numbers. And liberals just go and parrot it. But climate change. That’s totally real.
As the saying goes, "There's lies, damned lies, and statistics."
Oh yeah, I'd forgotten that part! Yeah, they fudged it on both ends, then tried to represent it as though it was the kids in the middle when they were the least affected.
Exclude babies, include adults, refer to the group as children. Disgusting.
Firstly, this is nothing but intellectually dishonest gotcha. I won't go into it in full detail, but there are plenty of reasons. For one thing, the study was retarded from the get go, and included people up to, I believe, 20. Might have been 19, but I think it was 20. So it was children, teenagers, and adults. "Young people" got turned into "children" for the sake of a stilted argument because it sounds better and was more emotionally manipulative. Needless to say, the vast, vast majority of gun deaths were on the older end of the scale.
"Guns" (violence with guns being more accurate) are the leading cause of death among black gangbangers, but you won't hear the disarmament side talking about that, will you? Anyway, that massively skews the results, and makes it sound like children are being murdered every day when they go to school.
Next, children don't die a whole lot, compared to older (or younger, for that matter; toddlers and babies are more at risk than school-age children), so if you're manipulating the numbers it's a really easy job to make it look like 150% of child deaths are caused by guns, or whatever. Also, around 15+ years is where the male and female death rate really diverges, with males comparatively jumping up through the roof. That's at least in part due to violence, and shows that those under 15 aren't going around killing each other at high rates. If you had toddler gangs, the numbers would show it.
Anyway, I said I wouldn't get into it too much, but I hate screwy, manipulative math. What I really wanted to get into though, is those shitty commies and their evil mindset.

Ah, yes, the famous "bad people" group. No, they're not bad. Yes, they are stupid. You'd have to be stupid to sit down with a propagandist hack like Stewart - when he has full editing control at that - and expect a good faith discussion. But, yeah, "bad people."
A few more comments:
Huh. Yet more projection?
Not necessarily class war in the way they want, but it's funny how close to correct these communists are, but then end up with the opposite conclusion anyway due to their poorly thought out ideology that has been spoon-fed them.
It must be kind of nice to be able to live in such a black and white world. Also, I love how they go on and on about how the other side 'loves to hate' when that whole thread is just disgusting and biased hatred toward their political opponents.
I was just going to say comparing gun deaths to child grooming, makes no sense. Why can't he care about subject A, because subject B exists? And that guns don't kill people, people do.
As for reddit, I honestly couldn't read more than a few comments, and just assumed the worst.
An aptly named program. :-)
I couldn't stop thinking about that name.
Nah, he a propagandist from the start, or close to it. He just used to be a more reasonable person, so his propaganda was more palatable, and his targets more despicable. Now he's fallen in line with the despicable people himself. But even back in the old days, he was known for dishonest editing and other smear jobs; hardly giving people a fair shake. Which is not to say he was entirely useless; he was more amusing back then, from an entertainment angle, and he also did call out some actually important issues. He also stood up for Ron Paul, which is always a good thing. Stood up way too late, as I recall, but still...
Yup. And even then it's a risk, as he has the massive advantage of...wait, do people even watch him in large numbers? Still, he's got the initial signal advantage, unless you're already famous or popular.
Like most people, they probably remember old Jon, Stewart, and do not realize that they are dealing with new Jon Stewart. And assume he's going to give them a fair shake.
4 years back there was a tipping point, both him and John Oliver, stopped putting in effort, and stared living off their past reputations, while spreading lies. It was like a switch was flipped, and they went full propaganda without hesitation.
>You want to ban drag show readings to children. Why?
Because drag is a sexual performance and it is not appropriate to put children into a sexual situation where they don't understand the full context of what is happening. You are free to dress up however you would like in the presence of other consenting adults, Mr. "Stewart".
>What's the leading cause of death amongst children in this country?
Global warming?
>It's firearms!
I think you mean that it's black people shooting each other. And by children, I think you mean under the age of 20. But it's interesting, we don't let children buy guns do we? If there was group of weirdos who wanted to sell guns to children at the library, you'd be against that wouldn't you? And if there was a constant media defense campaign for these weirdos that'd be pretty suspicious, wouldn't it?
