Can Jon Stewart sink lower than medals for Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion? Yes, he can he did last night!
On the eve of Day X final extradition hearing for Julian Assange in London Stewart attacked Tucker's Putin interview as propaganda for authoritarian Trump regime
The Department of Defense sponsored 'Warrior Games' featured comedian Jon Stewart awarding a medal to a member of Ukraine's Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion. To use a boomer reference the Tucker segment jumped the shark. It was ugly made reprehensible by omission of the greatest Free Press Trial of the Century opening hours after the Daily Show episode aired. Goebbels would be proud.
Any lingering belief in Stewart’s objectivity following the DoD Nazi event should have been replaced with certainty about his role as an establishment tool, but now the evidence is incontrovertible. Finding a clip in three hour interview where Putin says Hitler’s name was the crowning achievement in overriding theme that real journalists only talk to Washington’s favorite politicians to interview critics is propaganda.
His return to Daily Show is top buck NeoCon policy thinly veiled as comedy, that lands on informed ears as somewhere between idiocy and insanity, where anti-woke is a far right extremist, Putin loving political view. As support for the position there is danger in alternative opinions Jon cites The New York Times and CBS News.
While the Biden administration carries out the slow motion execution of the greatest journalist of our lifetime for the temerity to publish evidence of American war crimes Stewart reserves his outrage for the death of Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison. Who cares an Australian citizen, never convicted of a crime, has spent nearly five years in Belmarsh Prison the UK GITMO for terrorism convicts?
Why worry the 1917 Espionage Act is being used to assert US law has global jurisdiction to charge publishers with espionage when moral outrage can be rallied to paint Tucker as the real threat for exposing Americans to an adversarial view?
More accurately it should be framed as hysterical context as Jon Stewart divides the world between those with blind faith in the goodness of all things American and any suggestion Russia might have positive elements to its society. Jon reminds us Navalny protesters ‘may have been’ arrested unlike America where peaceful protest is treated like criminal insurrection if you question election results.
In one of the most insipid inversions Stewart concludes the immaculate palatial subway in Moscow compared to the decrepit NYC subway filled with homeless and reeking of urine is a tradeoff for totalitarianism. Jon’s reasoning seems to be that free society cannot have functioning systems or public service.
When he mocked Tucker smelling fresh baked bread as an odd behavior it highlighted the difference between flavorless American chemically laden gmo which is banned in Russia and the scent of fresh baked US realtors promote as a good scent for selling homes with recommended candles to impart scent. What an idiot.
He makes some pathetic jokes about a solution to America’s homeless crisis with the grocery cart return incentive, with a quarter required for use, as a novel incentive. Obviously flying private has spared Stewart exposure to this system in every US airport but our deposit for the luggage carts is over a dollar.
If the 15 minute segment roasting Tucker whom he calls a lying propagandist posing as journalism was not lame enough there was a pathetic sketch about candy in North Korea that looks like dozens of gmo HFCS retailers celebrated for kids parties.
Finally he wraps with a pair of pin heads who could not be more uninformed victims of Trump Derangement Syndrome who argue that the Justice Department has been a bulwark protecting democracy.
When Jon plugs their podcast one babe looks at Stewart the way a dog looks at a pork chop. What a shameful display of propaganda masquerading as journalism as Julian Assange faces extradition. What we have on display is a spectacular commitment to lies and it’s tragic not funny at all.
I’m off to the UK Consulate 2nd Ave at 47th for Day X protest and wishing a big middle finger to Jon Stewart’s Goebbels worthy performance. See you in the streets!
John Stewart is a coward.
He bends the knee to his overlords because somehow despite being wealthy he still needs a paycheck.
These days I watch The Jimmy Dore show, Kim Iversen show, Due Dissidence and TLAV to get the news.
Stewart is just another fake alternative, like AOC and others were fake alternatives.
Jose Vega is for real... Jimmy Dore and the others are for real.
Why watch the fake when you can have the real thing? 😂

It seems to me that ANYBODY that is given airtime on MSM is going to be a Tool. Stewart is a Tool. These are the times we live in, and hopefully soon we will live in something better...
Don't lose hope.
I can't think that after what is condoned in Gaza and bollocksed by RFK, Jr. (fuck him! Palestinians are the "most pampered"????????????????), that Assange is going to get anything remotely like justice. But that doesn't mean it won't be okay, and I'm trying to have lots of hope.
Hang in there, PD. xo xo xo
