Is is me or is Jon Stewart being a jerk about the Hunter Biden pardon tonight ?

[kimbutgar]

I’ll be skipping the daily show now on Mondays nights.

1. Yes and that ain't all.

Now he’s implying DOJ was weaponized against trump.

[bigtree]

35. just a minute ago he was accusing Dems of acting like republicans

...then he told Democrats to act more like republicans.

2. Thank you

I was yelling at the tv. He's doing their job for them.

[Baitball Blogger]

3. We need someone new to pick up the banner.

He sounds like he's worried he's going to get targeted by Trump.

[JudyM]

6. This.

He asked Yates what the dept would do if tfg wanted to prosecute journalists, Dems and short Jews.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. Precisely. The next four years we're going to see our side cower because we always knew the autocrats

come after anyone who challenges them.

And the MAGA Christians want blood.

[wnylib]

41. I stopped watching him several months ago

because of his both siderism in his comments and his attitude toward Biden.

Jordan Klepper and Desi Lyric are good. I watch them in their own individual clips on You Tube.

[macwriter]

4. you are so right! NT

[edhopper]

5. He's been a Jerk for a while

He lead the Biden to old charge.

[RockRaven]

7. Tonight?

[JHB]

8. Don't know because I haven't seen it, but based on his track record, probably.

Jon is stuck in "Can't we all get along?" mode, long after the answer was "NO." And it's not our fault: They don't WANT to get along with us. They are eliminationist. I mean, how many Rockefeller Republicans are around these days? None, because they deliberately snuffed them out, and they want to do the same to us.

We need to FIGHT. But hey, Jon has the fruits of his success, and is very cozy in his now-very obsolete viewpoint.

[kimbutgar]

10. Sadly true😿

[Hassler]

11. Stewart is old and predictable.

[SocialDemocrat61]

12. He does seem to hate Biden

for some reason. Not sure why.

[simplemistake]

13. jimmy fallon was also

[kimbutgar]

38. I watch the other late night shows and I never watch him for that reason

[Klarkashton]

14. He's a worthless waste of time dick. A horseshit

Rich comedian he doesn't care, he reads a script written by a staff of wise ass millennials. Fuck him.

[JohnSJ]

15. He is a jerk.

[BootinUp]

16. Just another person I can easily forget about, when it comes to politics. nt

[arthritisR_US]

17. It is not you at all!😡

[UTUSN]

18. I'll provide my history of his jerkiness again when i have more energy. Short version:

Is he Third Way, or No Labels?

[NoRethugFriends]

19. Self-righteous prick

[awesomerwb1]

20. Shocker

He became unwatchable to me a while back.

[kimbutgar]

21. Thank you all I thought it was me

He’s on the self protecting mode me myself now.

[El-Capitan]

22. I don't find Stewart to be funny, especially when compared to Colbert and Kimmel.

He's much better as a spokesperson for 9-11 victims and veterans.

[Hekate]

23. Jon Stewart was absolutely brilliant during the BushCheney admin. Then he went away for personal reasons...

And when he returned, he was no longer the young and brilliant satirist he had been.

I have no idea why that happened (aside from age — we can’t all remain young forever— but there had to have been some personal things going on) , but his new habit of running down Democrats when Trump and fascism were & are staring us all in the face did not commend itself to me. My attitude is that I wish Jon all the best, but I don’t need to watch his show.

Postscript:
❤️I felt like he helped keep me sane during Dubya’s 8 years. His take on the news was incredulity — and he innovated the idea of fact-checking by digging into TV news’ very own files for multiple clips that utterly refuted whatever claims were being made that day by Rumsfeld and the other liars of that regime (Rachel & others now do this) . Jon very deservedly won a Peabody Award for news presentations — and the big honcho over at CBS was outraged and said so quite publicly, which made me laugh out loud. ❤️

24. He has gotten on my nerves a lot since his return.

Too many poor attempts at both-sidesism. I stopped watching.

[mindfulNJ]

26. Sounds like

he's obeying in advance. Look for more media figures to do this.

We need to turn off our televisions.

[lark]

29. We mainly just stream now. There are a few network shows we like and watch - Ghosts & Equalizer for example.

We do watch a bit of Lawrence, and Nicole, but not long because we can't stand what's happening.

[lark]

27. I watched one edition of Stewart's new show and have not watched one minute since.

It's not good.

[Rebl2]

32. Same here

I didn’t even get through the first new show. He bashed Biden from the get go, and turned it off. He has become an asshole.

[lark]

34. We probably watched the same show and both couldn''t get thru to the end.

I know I only lasted a few minutes before turning it off, disgusted by Stewarts' anti-Biden rant.

[wolfie001]

28. We lost the election before he was pardoned so it doesn't mean shit

He does both-siderism à la Maher. He's just not as in your face about it. My problem with talking heads like this are they ignore the mf'ing christian repubes that hold so many positions in local, state and federal Govts. They're the f6ckers messing everything up. He should be trying to change voters and their voting patterns. That is the issue. Ignorant voters who constantly vote against their own interests. Blaming Biden for this political over-prosecution to appease hater repubes is quite the bullshit move. No thanks Stewart.

[Borchkins]

31. Jon is a jerk.

Always and forever. He's unwatchable.

[Johonny]

33. Dude is wrong about everything so far in 2024

Why should he stop missing the point of everything political? He's a voice of the ill informed blow hard these days.

[Fla Dem]

36. Stopped watching that jerk off even before he quit. Was a stupid jerk then and still is.

[Emile]

37. He reminds me of Bill Maher.

[BannonsLiver]

39. Stewart has been an asshole for a long time.

I’ve never understood the appeal in the first place. B grade talent at best.

[comradebillyboy]

40. Tonight? Jon Stewart has always been a self-righteous jerk.

And a relentless both sides are bad propagandist.

[BoRaGard]

42. Stewart has lost his way

[Polybius]

43. It's hard to find anybody that I agree with 100% of the time

For the most part, Stewart has great opinions. I didn't see his show last night though.
