With the return of Jon Stewart to The Daily Show once a week, there were many kossacks that slammed his performance on his first show as host in almost 10 years. They took a couple of lines of what he said as proof of both-siderism. There were accusations thatb he had lost it and was no longer in touch — that he was too old to be doing this — because he dared approach the age concerns that are being manufactured by the MSM.
There are those that stated or implied that he had taken too much time off to be relevant or aware. Were they aware that this is what he was spending his time doing?
It just seems to me that some people had already decide what topics he should broach and how he should treat them, actually looking for an excuse to conflate him with Bill Maher. Stewart is an unapologetic liberal intellectual and is a voice that deserves to be heard, whether or not you agree with everything he says. I’d say give him a chance, rather than using Mary Trump as a counterweight, whose only qualification is that she is the niece of TFG. I personally did not hear his propos last week in the same light as many of the commenters on here but, even so, maybe give him more than his 20 first minutes back in the spotlight to expound on his views and give him a chance. He has earned it.
UPDATE:
Just thought I would add links to the actual episode of The Daily Show that seems to have been so inexplicably radioactive, for those who did not actually listen to it for themselves.
