Every Award Jon Stewart has Ever Won is Meaningless

I say that because as I look over the list below and consider the source(s) my conclusion can only be that he gets raves from fools. Who watches the Emmy's anymore. More important, who cares, AT ALL. And, Teen Choice award? That scares me a little. Filling those empty minds with mush. And Writer's guild?

Let's see, how many Emmys did Hannity, Limbaugh or O'Rielly get. They have shows. Lots of people like them. Limbaugh has a far far larger audience than Stewart. O'Rilley creams Stewart in audience, Colbert's show is just a parody of O'Rielly and Sean Hannity is everywhere and dominant on radio and TV. Yet, NO NATIONAL EMMY. Gee wonder why? Isn't it just a tiny bit disingenuous that a liberal commentator get's liberal awards liberally? And successful conservative commentators and entertainers like O'Rilley, Hannity and Limbaugh get NONE?

Isn't anyone a tad bit suspicious of the motivation and political bias of these awarding agencies?

So excuse me if I think these are just so much hot air from hot air. Here's a list below. A shame and a sham. Oh, and by the way, the highest rated show Stewart EVER did had fewer viewers than Bill O'Reilly has EVERY NIGHT. Stewart is a tool. That's not a complement.

The reason why Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, etc. have not won Emmys is that they work in news. There are no Emmys awarded in that field. Jon Stewart is considered a late-night talk show host and is therefore eligible in that category.

As for 'who cares,' you seem to, a great deal.

Good luck on stemming outmigration. I can't imagine why people would want to move out of a state full of people like yourself.
