Retro Zeitgeist

quote [ Jon Stewart’s fascinating late-career return to The Daily Show is further evidence that linear television is no longer what it once was. ]

frankly, stewart had to return. he spent enough time letting everyone else ruin the franchise after he left, he needed to be brought back to resurrect it and any hopes the left had of getting someone back in office

Fuck Stewart. Fuck Colbert. Fuck Oliver. 20 something years of this shit and libs still haven't figured out that poking fun at evil and then voting for the lesser evil doesn't actually stop evil.

yes, but at least john stewart is funny.

and you try to figure out how to get libs to organize and uprise. i've tried. party of the people? more like party of the pussies 😒

but you know, vote as if this isn't a drill! vote like your life depends on it!

Is he though? Maybe if you completely ignore reality and the consequences of his bullshit? Dude's the brother of a former COO of NYSE Euronext and it shows in analysis and he regularly spouts state department propaganda while libs lap it up, BeCauSe He PiCkS oN BoTh SiDeS of a duopoly while boxing out any alternatives. It's a fucking joke and not a very funny one.

yes. i assure you. stewart is hilarious even if he's taking an evil dollar to fuck us all.

see, you need to stand back and see it for what it is. Entertainment. Anyone who actually seeks a comedian on a comedic news cast for true info is part of the issue. it's akin to reading/watching the onion to figure out whats going on in the world.

and i guess that's what the problem might be. the average level of understanding in the usa is on the decline. people cant figure out that pundits like stewart, carlson, even rogan, are fucking entertainers and are essentially being paid to espouse a view point.

ever see john stewart on Crossfire 20 years ago? I think that's the real voice of stewart on display there. not sure why he's doing this shit now other than he's checked out and just wants the paycheck

I remember the Crossfire episode very well, you remember what he said to them, in between him making the same lame "I'm just a comedian" argument you're making now? "You are hurting us." He virtue signals resistance to libs while their world falls apart under their feet. Him and his proteges are the empty calories of the news media world and he can fuck off back to rural Jersey or wherever he was hiding and we'd all be better for it.

i'm just as unhappy about our current situation as you.

let me know when you have a plan to fix any of it.

It aint complicated. Educate. Agitate. Organize. And attack/undermine opposition to those steps. Can't do shit else till we get those three down.
