You do this now in an off year so it is old news when it counts. Pretending you’ve restored trust is the swine’s lipstick…
So Jon Stewart was one of the fooled? I doubt it. He's just covering now, trying to keep his credibility. It's better to be thought an idiot than a liar, and being the sociopathic liar that he is, he presents himself as an idiot.
My favorite character on I Dream of Jeanie was Dr Bellows. He knew stuff was going on, and nobody ever believed him, it was too fantastic to believe, and it's too fantastic to believe that we are governed by a cabal of sociopathic pedophiles and their enablers, like Dowd.
Not if they're political agents.
Not if they're providing in-kind contributions that add up to billions.
Not if many of them aren't just foreign intelligence assets, but national intelligence assets as well.
Not if the majority of them are so dumb, they make mistakes avoidable with simple Google searches.
Not if they're - in many cases - out and out traitors.
No...we do not hate them enough, and Stewart-Leibowitz is one of them.
Even now, John Stewart is late to the party. Bridget Phetasy has been making fun of this for weeks. She even roasted the White House Correspondents dinner that acted like they were fooled by the Biden White House, and the was three weeks ago. Stewart’s joke is about timing? He’s just as slow as Tapper, and only now realizing how to make money off it.
Legacy media is dead. No more need to analyze, critique, dissect, or examine. Cause of death is conclusive: suicide.
The CYA continues. It was obvious since 1988 that Biden is a moron. He has always been a moron. It has been equally obvious since at least 2018 that Biden is senile. Senility and low IQ are a bad mix for the leader of the free world. Why didn’t Stewart call out the press for keeping those fucking secrets.
If we didn't think that they were dumb, if we knew that they were doing it on purpose, we would string them from lampposts, and they know it. Calling them dumb is playing their game by their rules.
All lies and bullschiff and they are all in on it.
Every media hack that used the term cheap-fake last year should be fired for malpractice.
Stewart got 8 minutes out of the obvious. Not bad. I laughed. CNN provides reams of self-parody material for daily consumption.
Although I don't recall Stewart doing 8 minutes on Biden's decline when it was right there in front of everybody and the lefty (USAID) media was calling people conspiracy-mongers for pointing it out. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/07/11/biden-age-conservatives-conspiracy-00167438
Maybe he did. I wouldn't know.
I forgot how truly annoying John Stewart is.
I firmly believe the MSM will never recover from the last 5 years, no matter how hard guys like Stewart or Maher try to rehab its (and their) reputation by 'softening' their bias. These fraudsters lost the war. Nobody with an IQ over room temp and under the age of 60 believes anything they have to say, and when their legacy geriatric consumer base is totally gone they're going to literally turn into that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer is running a show with no cameras and no audience.
Sorry, that was just lame. Stewart laughing at how funny he thinks he is, is just painful.
The office of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation of the media industrial complex operated in collusion with the government in a facial farcical.
How do they manage to bray with a straight face? Now, that is funny, and audacious.
At least Stewart is going after it. Not like Rathergate, which he refused to touch in 2004. And yes, with CNN and MSNBC the jokes write themselves.
Slowly, but surely, the bathrobe defense turns on the Gigante administration. It was just a simple power grab, and the boss was a front.
How would this strategy differ from that of a Mafia crime family? There's nothing to distinguish them, in my view.
At this point, pointed fingers are a tremendous affront to the dignity of the entire nation, we hear from our media betters. The layers of misdirection stack (not so neatly) on top of one another. The spinning plates continue to fall from the ever-more-wobbly poles.
Oh that deserves a hotlink, boatbuilder
Conservatives See a Conspiracy Around Joe Biden’s Stumbles
The right has become obsessed with the media after the president’s bad debate.
I'd love to see the demograhics of Stewart's show. I was shocked to learn (thank you Grok) that 85 percent of the late nite show viewers are over 55! And 65 percent are over sixty-five. Pretty soon Colbert will be showing commericals for depends and Geritol.
Stewart and Mahar provide a helpful service. Once they mock what all of us ignorant right-wing rubes have known and mocked before them, the smart lefties can no longer pretend that the right's pointing out the obvious is "fantasy" or "conspiracy." The dumb lefties, of course, keep right at it.
I was shocked, because as my wife and I have gotten older, we've been going to bed earlier and earlier. Who over 60 would stay up till midnight watching TV? But I guess there are enough old loners, grifters, and shut-ins for Colbert/Kimmel to have an audience.
And just today, Trump's FBI lies to us again. The whole edifice is rotten to the core.
Epstein didn't kill himself. I don't care if Kash Patel claims that the files that he won't let us see prove to his satisfaction that Epstein did hang himself. Lets' see them.
The reason Stewart is going after the MSM is because this isn't about policy, and its not really an attack on Liberal/left assumptions or the Democrats. He's attacking the MSM for not reporting that Biden was non-functional and clung to power too long and forced a panic choice of Kamala who lost the election.
But of course, conservatives are grateful for whatever crumbs they can get.
Speaking about one of the "chimeras"....Here's Jon Liebowitz!!
@Jaq, Epstein and Maxwell were 1000% Mossad assets, if not outright agents. Our own fucking government not only allowed them to operate a blackmail operation for almost 2 decades, but still can't tell the truth because of how that might damage our relationship with our greatest ally.
That's why it's gonna be kept more top secret than nuclear weapon design information...which oh by the way is also something our greatest ally stole from US.
Yah, whatever Stewart. Everything these media guys write, do, or say is a lie or a grift or an attempt at both. FTP. Parsing their stuff for nuance is waste of time & energy. It's the intellectual equivalent of trawling through a land fill looking for unexpired canned vegetables in order to feed yourself. Just go get something fresh instead. The media celebrity's dishonest game isn't worth the candle IOW. And again FTP
Stewart was a minder, who'se clown nose was too firmly attatched to be amusing for long, but for those without discernment,
Re Epstein, the earlier speculation, was he was attatched to Les Wexner, who used his business, to launder the Cleveland Mob's profits, and then the other thing came to being,
Stewart borrowed a lot of Conan O’Brien’s gestures and sounds in his delivery.
"Epstein didn't kill himself. I don't care if Kash Patel claims that the files that he won't let us see prove to his satisfaction that Epstein did hang himself. Lets' see them."
Epstein clearly had the motive, means, and opportunity to kill himself. If you're so certain it was murder, what's your proof? And explain why the person you imagine ordered this hit to keep Epstein from talking would wait until he was convicted and incarcerated before doing him in?
Stewart is the clever Teacher's Pet who doesn't realize most of the students think he's a complete jackass, but he's sure the Teacher's approval is all he needs in life.
Should we take our eye off the ball and laugh at Jake's book sales being deflated by late-breaking news? What for? All of the news about Biden is late-breaking, but not for any good reason.
Well, he's right of course. And it's nice to see him call out the obvious...which he could have done in one minute instead of eight. But damn, Stewart is so insufferably not funny with his faux prolonged staring off into space bemusement and his exaggerated arm flailing emphatic gestures - which have always been the foundation of his "comedy" - one minute would have been unbearable for all but the barking seals in his audience.
Jon Stewart is the definition of old news
Hacks twist themselves into money making pretzels to cover for the Corruptocratix Party.
Loyalty to the Soviet Left!
The Democrat party is a Sewer.
Teh Democrat Party Media = Paid liars.
X - Razor:
2020: JUST BEING SAFE BC COVID
'21: COVID
'22: JUST A STUTTER
'23: SHARP AS A TACK!
5/2024: BEST HEALTH EVER!
6/2024: WE'RE REPLACING HIM BC A BAD DEBATE
2/2025: He wasn't mentally fit
5/2025: He wasn't physically fit, stop talking about the past
Clown nose on 🤡 Dunce cap on…
It was more than a year ago — February 12, 2024, to be exact — that Jon Stewart returned to the Daily Show and famously skewered Joe Biden’s mental acuity and suitability to serve as president for another four years.
If you’re curious you can dial up that episode with seven seconds of googling, as well as the bitter backlash:
“Liberals Are Not Laughing About Jon Stewart’s Jabs at Joe Biden”
“Democrats who only remember the 'Daily Show' host as a fierce critic of conservatives had a rude awakening on his return to the program”
“One-time fans who perhaps remember comedian Jon Stewart only taking satirical swipes at conservatives while host of The Daily Show were shocked and aggrieved when he returned to host the program after almost nine years on Monday to take aim at President Joe Biden.”
But only if you’re curious.
I always click on what Althouse posts because she is so thoughtful. But this was unbearable! Who would voluntarily watch this person?
he had twitter substack et al for all that time, try again Prole,
So, we were all hyped up for this book, breathlessly bowing to Tapper and Thompson for their deep dive into BidenLand, then Biden comes in, arms flailing, and shouts, “You’re not so clever, you missed my F-ing Stage IV Prostate Cancer!”
“Teh lessons of this book go beyond one man, one political party”
—— Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson
The Laughability of Being Earnest.
“Never call a fat person fat”
—— Old Biden family saying
My favorite remains Donna Brazile calling Bernie Sanders to apologize for the DNC undermining him in his race against Hillary Clinton, while Bernie on the other end knew that he had cut a separate deal not to go after the Clintons on their finances. It's a network of mendacity.

Exactly. Jon Stewart, like Donald Trump, is hilarious, unless of course you’re a “That’s Not Funny” leftist-feminist or right-wing scold.

Don't forget the USS Liberty and the likely response to JFK insisting on a shutdown at Dimona.
The big problem for Israel is that they thought they had won. President Trump back in office, bipartisan ownership of Congress, scrubbing the Epstein file. Things should have been easy. Then not only does Mike Waltz get fired because he thought he was NSA for Israel, President Trump doesn't even visit Netanyahu.
Miriam Adelson must be feeling very hard done by.
It's scary to think of what might have happened if Biden had run again and won. Imagine what it would be like for America to be governed for four years by an elderly man in cognitive decline.
Imagine if Hillary had won — imagine a government run using illicit communication methods outside government systems, especially concerning national security — or even military strikes.😉
Jon Stewart is not looking good. I'm guessing he got the jab, and multiple boosters.
"Drip tsunami" hurt my brain.
"I don't care if Kash Patel claims that the files that he won't let us see prove to his satisfaction that Epstein did hang himself."
The cameras all "malfunctioned". The guards fell asleep. His cellmate had been moved to another cell. He was all alone, with no one watching. So, their isn't any evidence for Kash Patel to see.
This is all good. Outside the cloisters on the right and left, the great silent majority of non-team normal people can appreciate the Joe Rogans and Jon Stewarts of the zeitgeist all in the same time.
A sloppy return to dynamic equilibrium.
Tim Pool talked with Dr Drew Pinsky about it. Dr. Drew was decidedly less than forgiving of the press and the admin. As he said, there was an, at best, 2% chance they found the cancer in the condition that it is in. Almost guaranteed it was found years ago. And the main treatment for it leads to falling and cognitive impairment. But the Bidens nor his admin will EVER come clean and will, instead, seek to gaslight indefinitely.
This is, 100%, the largest political scandal in the history of our country. The press and the Democrats (I know, I repeat myself) must not be allowed to skate on this. They HAVE to answer for their rampant failings here.
I like how they all just laugh and laugh and laugh.
"It's scary to think of what might have happened if Biden had run again and won."
Imagine what a disaster it would have been had Rich gotten his way back then.
"Imagine what a disaster it would have been had Rich gotten his way back then."
Yeah, he was an enthusiastic member of "the best Biden ever" brigade. Until, of course, he wasn't. Like Tapper.
“Isn't that the difference between news and a secret?"
Althouse gets right to the nub of it.

Is there anything that evil Covid jab can't do? Why, it even made John Stewart look like he is 62 years old.
Seems like yesterday he was all full of piss and vinegar deliveringthat Dark Brandon tirade.

I think she might have a ghostwriter.

John Stewart sold his soul a long time ago.
None of his BS means a thing until he apologizes for supporting the Regime for the last 30 years and getting paid millions of dollars a year to do so.
He has been the primary agent they used to mislead college age kids. He is scum and has been a tool for decades.

Jon Stewart does exactly what he is told to do and only what he is told to do.
Then he went right to supporting Kamala as if he was just a Regime tool.
I too become enraged when someone expresses a political opinion that differs from my own.

No. You are just kinda dumb.
The obvious point was that the Democrat party was obviously corrupt and they were running a corrupt puppet regime. When they had to let that corrupt scheme go they trotted their little tool out there to tell the democrat pawns what to think.
And their obedient little tool John Stewart told them to support Kamala Harris who was installed as a candidate with no primary by the same people that were using Biden as a puppet.
The point wasn't that John Stewart disagreed with me. The point was that John Stewart doesn't actually believe a word he says.
You want to think you are smart and neutral but you are just kinda stupid and you can't string more than 15 words together coherently so you post dumb little snarky posts.
You want to think you are smart and neutral
I think both the Democratic and Republican parties are so irredeemably corrupt that it made a Donald Trump not only likely but necessary. If that’s what neutral sounds like I guess you’re right.
I think both the Democratic and Republican parties are so irredeemably corrupt that it made a Donald Trump not only likely but necessary.
Should we make anything of the fact that the practices of the Republican side actually make it possible for a Donald Trump to arise? It's kind of hard to do that on the Democrat side, given their proclivity for not holding ordinary primaries.
Sure, it's all funny now, mf-ers.
The media did freely admit the dossier was shopped and they all rejected it…long before Get Trump 1.0 recycled it as truth and Pulitzers…
