THANK YOU! I too used to love Jon Stewart but then I started noticing his sexism. It was subtle at first but the uneasiness within me kept growing.

THANK YOU! I too used to love Jon Stewart but then I started noticing his sexism. It was subtle at first but the uneasiness within me kept growing. I started noticing how few female guests he had on (how few people of color too which really became noticeable once Trevor Noah became host) and how few female correspondents there were. I became even more uncomfortable with his frat bro humor. Of course, it came out full force when Hillary was running. The Bernie Bros really exposed the misogyny within the leftwing community and it was absolutely disheartening. Still is.
I didn't watch him last time and have no plans to do so. I'm incredibly disappointed to hear he went after Biden's age (or Biden in general) because everything you said is true. Biden is our last, best hope for democracy. Trump made that crystal clear (again) yesterday with his comments about NATO. Stewart knows this. He's a New Yorker. He knows how terrible Trump is and, during his time advocating for 9/11 first responders, he got a crash course in which party cares about people and which party doesn't. HE KNOWS!!! I just don't understand it.
I don't understand it, either, especially in light of how effective the Hillary-bashing was in 2016. That incessant chatter all but killed her chances and gave us Donald Trump. Why on earth would they think going after Biden in such destructive ways was something they needed to do?
Jon Stewart was by Joe Biden's side when Biden signed the First Responders law Stewart had worked so hard to enact. He stood there as Biden praised him for his work, and he thanked him. He should have no valid gripe against Biden--at least compared to Trump--and yet he threw it all away for a few cutting jokes.
I HATE that this is happening again. And I HATE that the public is going to eat it up.
I don't think so. Stewart doesn't play that way. I think it's more that he's a bit of an asshole and he gets off on making fun of people he thinks need a take-down.
This all makes me sick & frustrated! Why are people like Stewart not realizing the repercussions of Trump winning? Why are they not seeing the seriousness of the situation?We are witnessing a second Germany with Hitler when people were not paying attention or taking him seriously. I pray we all come to our senses & soon!!!

Follow the money, I bet. His Hillary-bashing in 2016 helped elect Trump, now he's being brought in again to bash Biden to re-elect Trump.

But not, for god's sake, in this election year!
I just remember that he was lukewarm about Covid vax. I think he's for sale.
I agree with J R-W. He ONCE didn't play that way. He's a whore.
