"I wasted an hour watching him with a smarmy, rich lib guest about how the economy "is the best it's ever been" but people are too emotionally maladjusted to realize it. 5 minutes in, his guest is already blaming Russian interference for workers' inability to appreciate how good they have it."
"Left-liberals have, for the better part of two decades, viewed hypocrisy as this cardinal sin, and that pointing out the behavior in Republicans is an exalted 'gotcha'. I place the blame squarely on the titans of late-night politics from the 2000s: Stewart and Colbert. The rise of their shows coinci"
"On the December 11 episode of the podcast The Weekly Show With Jon Stewart, guest Tim Miller of The Bulwark said there have to be at least two people at fellow guest Jon Favreau's workplace wearing masks because it's a progressive organization."
"Also, shows like Noah's & Colbert's that are deliberate attempts of recapturing John Stewart's political satire talk show from the early 2000's don't work and I think it's because when John Stewart did it, it was sort of like he was a populist figure going up against the Neo-Lib establishment but no"
"Seems that with their resources they could find at least one other host/correspondent with the same energy - someone who ticks the right boxes of being funny, charismatic, and (obviously) liberal, but with some semblance of independence and objectivity towards politics."
"Like the whole shitlib "wOw ThE cOmEdIaNs ArE tHe OnLy ReLiAbLe NeWs NoW" thing is so old. I'm sure he's a good person and he's made me laugh a few times but I don't get any enjoyment out of watching him pretend to be a newscaster and then to pivot in being like "well actually I'm a comedian so you "
"On the right side of history we have such an interesting collection of characters this week: Bernie Sanders, Tucker Carlson, Theo Von, The Young Turks, Breaking Points, The Guardian, Andrew Schultz, Joe Rogan, Marjorie Taylor Green, Candace Owens, Tim Dillon, Dave Smith, Jon Stewart"
"The youtube comments are up in arms about this, so is their subreddit, and the d*stiny subreddit"
"However I've been having trouble finding any precedent for American politcal pundits being killed. Of course there's a long history of politicians and politcal activists being murdered, but seemingly no one that's a RushLimbaugh, Bill O'Rielly or Jon Stewart type of figure."
"It's so funny that Jon Stewart was lambasted by Stephen Colbert and Big Lib for suggesting the Covid-19 pandemic could've possibly originated from a lab leak in Wuhan as opposed to the non-racist theory, that some chinese guy ate a bat with diseases or something"
"I am watching the first Daily Show episode with Jon Stewart returning and I'm pretty sure I've been soyfacing the whole time. Guess I'm just a Bush-Era shitlib at heart."
"Even Jon Stewart's new show failed to match the comedy of The Daily Show despite having a similar format."
"I remember going over to my (now) roommate's house back in HS, and interacting with this brother figure. I knew nothing about politics at the time, but he was the classic John Stewart liberal who loved to shit on conservatives, not for moral or political reason, but because they're dumb, I.e. low cl"
"Jon Stewart's Daily Show was a staple back in the day for me. But after he dropped off, I couldn't watch any one of these other talk show hosts, except for maybe Conan every now and then. Now I'm worried if Jon may be coming back as one of these hacks."
"I was doing a favor for a friend of a friend the other day and we'd be driving all day. She was okay when we started out but by the end of the trip she was really letting some things slip. Great quips about how the rescue dog she got from a reservation "had such a chill temperament because it wasn't"
"I'm sure he's a good person and he's made me laugh a few times but I don't get any enjoyment out of watching him pretend to be a newscaster and then to pivot in being like 'well actually I'm a comedian so you can't hold me to that standard' or whatever."
