He’s bad folks
Edit: Jon Stewart shitting on Occupy Wall Street was one of the biggest radicalizing moments of my life.
Never saw Daily Show, didn’t really give a shit about him- always thought Colbert Report was more effective and cheekier anyway.
Then fucking Seth McFarlane of all people outs Stewart as being a shithead during the writers strike hahaha. Haven’t been onboard with him since. We’ve got literally tons of libs ready to point out Cons contradictions- it’s one of the easiest jobs as a media lib.
mcfarlane sucks but it seems like he’s good at dropping the data on hollywood fuckers
Remember that early family guy episode where stewey runs naked through the mall shouting that he had escaped from Kevin Spacey’s basement? Years before anything actually happened to Spacey?
always thought Colbert Report was more effective and cheekier anyway.
this doesn’t make it any better lol
eh I stand by it. I like Colbert’s ‘awful’ persona rather than the Stewart’s ‘down to earth no bullshit’ nonsense
Literal brain worms.
Jon Stewart is one of the heroes of the 21st century in terms of waking people up, even if he’s still lib.
I never gave a shit about politics until I stumbled across the daily show when I was 12. seeing his interview on Crossfire and realizing the hollowness of the media as an institution was a major part of my radicalization. he certainly did not take me beyond left-lib beliefs and has a world of shitty takes but as a suburban kid with no day to day interactions with politics he was the first window i had into that.
Jon “I had the CEO of Blackwater - Eric Prince on my show and didn’t ask him about Blackwater warcrime” Stewart
I missed that one, but he interviewed Bill Clinton some time after the 2008 crash (when it was fully public how much Clinton’s deregulation contributed to the crash) and all you could hear was sLuRp SlUrP thank you, daddy
…That said, still the best guy in mainstream media at the time.
Literally who?
