I’m so glad someone feels the way I do about Jon Stewart’s show last night. I turned it off I was so disgusted with his routine about Biden and trump on the being on the same level. What purpose did that serve? I liked Stewart before not so sure about him now after his routine last night.
I was upset with Jon Stewart for leaving the Daily Show when he did and not using his platform to get out the youth vote against Trump. And now he’s found another way to help Trump. A pox on him.
Mary, Jon Stewart does interviews! I am sure he would LOVE to have you as a guest in n the show. His viewers need to hear the truth. Just say you want “equal time” since he is so interested in “both sides.” He can hear the truth from an insider. I subscribe because I so admire your willingness to tell the truth.
Yes- you are 100% right on. I started watching it and became so infuriated I walked out of the room ranting at him. What the hell is he thinking? Not one thing is funny about amplifying the MAGA messaging. And any comparison is an insult to any intelligent thinking person with so much at stake. Not funny Jon, get off the air. This is the time for people with a platform to sound alarms loudly. If a few cheap laughs are more important than saving the country, you are misusing the opportunity you are being given. And then the media outlets replay it.
On The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell Monday night on MSNBC, he did a wonderful story blasting the media, particularly the New York Times, about its terrible coverage President Biden especially Robert Hur’s report.
I had the same reaction! What the hell was Stewart doing. The jokes were easy, based on old, tired stereotypes and not funny. It made me angry and sad at
"For an 81-year-old, President Biden’s accomplishments are astounding:" I'd have taken out the "For an 81-year-old," because Biden's record has been truly extraordinary, despite the gigantic odds. Had he been 42 years old? Still extraordinary. What I took away from Stewart's show is that by and large, we are not yet afraid enough of a Trump presidency. And we have allowed our understanding of what Biden's policies have accomplished to be shaped and constrained by the far right propaganda machine. Somehow, it's all the Dem's fault for not effectively countering the onslaught of right wing information. What about the responsibility of the right wing to communicate honestly?
I knew he was going to do exactly what he did. That’s why I didn’t watch. I hope he gets the message or he’s done. We don’t need any one else doing that schtick. There’s only Joe Biden or your fucking demonic uncle.

I agree 100%!
I had to turn it off! No one is showing Biden busting Doocy’s balls…
2016 all over again.
Yeah I gotta admit, this is worse than the "patting him on the head" bit from before.
Donald is never the answer for America and it's not even a little funny to speak of him as anything but a danger. We are well past that point.
I was so looking forward to that show last night for his return and absolutely so disappointed and outraged
Totally agree with you Mary! This is more than disappointing, it's dangerous.

Good observation. Thanks.

Thank you, Mary, for your column tonight.
Thank you!👏 Have been furious since watching it. What could possibly be the motivation other than $ for this ludicrous performance?!

I felt the same way. I was appalled 😞
Wow! Thank u for brilliant analysis of the danger Stewart did. Plus not funny
