Bless Jon Stewart. It's so refreshing to see someone accurately describe how things actually are in the US' utterly batshit political/media landscape.
It's easy to forget how fucking good John Stewart is. A while back I watched some of his shows from the 2000s on police brutality, climate change, real pertinent issues like that, and it's palpable how accurately he gets to what's really going on (which isn't a real big priority for most of the news) and how much it frustrates him the general poor state of the news in the US.
I absolutely loved having him go on Bill O'Reilly and Tucker Carlson and have big arguments with them. It's like for a weird little moment, the US had some journalism in its mainstream political discourse.
John Stewart is Tucker's supervillain origin story
He stopped wearing bow ties that week, and never has again. Stewart clearly cut him deep.
