Jon Stewart has never been a journalist, he's always been an entertainer. The Daily Show was not news, it was entertainment. His current iteration is worse because he now he pretends to do real news where before he was self aware of being entertainment, it was part of the joke. But he isn't different from Tucker or Maddow. He's now just cranking the Rage Machine to get his nut. The outrage on your part is just as false as the outrage he spews. He's entertainment. His entertainment should be controlled and owned by the people paying for it. There's no editorial independence to protect because it's not journalism.

He can be entertainment, while still being informative. Richard Prior was the greatest standup comic to ever live, but yet his social commentary was poignant and thought provoking.

Please We all know how the game is played from his Tucker Carlson Crossfire appearance. When it comes to awards or what he says being important he's a journalist When it comes to criticism, fact checking he's just a comedy program. And just keep switching between those 2 footings. John Oliver does the exact same thing https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140610090003-43504-and-the-...

You think this is outrage? I think you're missing the forest for the trees.
