A "Newcomers" favorite interview............
I keep reading comments regarding the "newcomers" causing the demise of intellectual conversation - have NO clue if this is true or not .. if an individual did not post on First Read Monday - Friday, odds are I have no clue where fellow posters here on News Talkers have come from. In the 3 weeks'ish that I have been here, I have come to the conclusion that this illusive/elusive intellectual conversation is a subjective in the eye of the beholder type thing
This interview of Jon Stewart by Charlie Rose in November of 2016 perhaps can produce intellectual conversation -- it gave me a whole new level of respect for Jon Stewart!

Thanks!
The president*
lies constantly (many times every day)
attempts cyber bullying (usually every day)
is a known and demonstrated fraud
has demonstrated incredible ignorance of world and domestic issues
has apparent psychological problems ( need for praise and attention on a continuous basis)
I have just scratched the surface. My intellectual analysis is that he is not qualified to be president of the United States, John Stewart nothwithstanding.
A year has gone by since this interview. I would be interested in knowing how he sees the country today.

I admit guilt in endorsing this sentiment. I don’t mean to include all newcomers, and I hope that is evident in the overall arc of my contributions. However, I say what I say because the level of discourse has clearly changed. Sarcasm is taken more literally, news sources are tainted with fake bullshit sites, members are asking to shun other members, bizarre assumptions of innocence or guilt - these things don’t make for intelligent conversation.
Let me know if I'm one of the dreaded newcomers.
