Jon Stewart Slams Media for Breathless Trump Trial Coverage | The Daily Show

Jon Stewart weighs in on the media’s overblown coverage of Trump’s criminal trial, from sketch-artist interviews to following his motorcade via helicopter, and how the airtime contradicts their stated goal to give him less airtime. Plus, Daily Show alum Jessica Williams surprises us with some joyful benefits of following the Trump trial story. #DailyShow #JonStewart #JessicaWilliams

I would argue differently. I would argue that the 24-hour news cycle is merely a symptom of the worst thing ever to happen to broadcast journalism.

“Crazy/Radical Lib” here to say I appreciate your comment and agree wholeheartedly. We have lost sight of each others’ humanity- and in large part because of messaging from the media. I have always had an interest in news, politics, and world events, and even as young as 12 or 13, I liked talking to adults about these things and discussing current affairs, etc. It’s really hard for me to tune out the news, and part of me feels like it’s blasphemous, but it has all just become so toxic and divisive, it is doing the opposite of what it is intended for. The news should be educating people about current events, cultures, and historical interactions, rather than telling us how to interpret those things by shoving their own perspectives down our throats, as is happening today. I have had to tune it out for the most part, despite my urges, and I have had so much more clarity, sanity, and compassion since then. I think we all could use some media detox at times (news and social media!) if we want to be more understanding and humane as a society.

I am soooo hoping that's in the works

[@tristan8922]

She has such charisma and ferocity. She’d crush it

[@Jaebird88]

It's terribly sad when Anchorman 2 made fun of this kind of news coverage just over a decade ago.

[@tomkohlman8110]

I'm glad Jon Stewart is back. He should have never left ☮️✌️

[@monkeykaitai520]

The world is fortunate to have you and your show..you make sense.

[@juliaburns9125]

Jessica Williams ! You’re wonderful!

[@charlestonmichaelamatong8252]

We missed you Jessica Williams….thank you for showing up and surprising us

[@WhispersOnLy]

She wasn't funny 😐

[@chaosgeneration]

She was hilarious as always!

[@garrethenderson9695]

She’s not remotely funny. Ruined the segment

[@Einomar]

​@@WhispersOnLyshe was and is

[@NecramoniumVideo]

@@Einomar remember when she left the Daily Show to go for her big break, how did that work out for her, rofl.

[@Shermanbay]

I really like Jessica Williams and her interaction with Jon! Let's have more Jessica!

[@kathleenthach7552]

I always wondered why they show the driving part. Most people just mute that and look up periodically to see if it’s over.

[@ChocoPaid-vp8yz]

This is such an unserious country.... Also Jessica Williams is a goddess walking the earth

[@nfboogaard]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@oldcatlover]

Wondering how she could tell the motorcade was defiant?😮

[@GetIrked]

I believe it was when the motorcade ran the Stop Sign of History at the Intersection of America... 🤔

[@xskrym]

It wasn't following road rules like other cars and bicycles I guess.😅

[@shibasurfing]

I believe it was when a disgraced real estate developer took a motorcade through the streets of New York City (as shown in the video) driving on both sides of the street and not following traffic laws for no reason other than his own ego 🙃 But what do I know about decorum (besides never having been charged with a crime)?

[@TinLeadHammer]

The intersection was defiant.

[@tonyatthebeach]

They ran over a rat

[@debrakbaylinson6787]

Yes! Please tell them to stop!

[@FunnyOne.Liners]

I love Jessica Willams. So happy to see her again. She should have taken over the show when Jon retired.

[@Jane-yr2cg]

Pretty sure The Daily Show can read my mind. I’ve been pining for Jessica Williams especially since Jon came back. And there she was!! My heart is full now!❤️😍

[@MatthewMe]

Thank you for bringing Jessica back! Wonderful to see her again.

[@monsterinfamous6267]

7:16 "It's artistic journalism" !😂😂!

[@jlu6206]

Agreed!

[@saysirregardlessonpurpose]

Man, Jessica Williams.. it's been so long. I didn't even realize how much I missed you! 😊

[@smiller2044]

💯

[@PeachyAnimecatIsawesome]

Finally someone says it. My feed is full of bs titles of 'we finally got him!' and then its just like a 20 minute video discussing a single typo one of his lawyers made 🙄

[@isocarboxazid]

Meidas Touch Network for me on yt... Bruh, wake me up when we get there.

[@annoyed707]

Yes, but that typo was fatally huge!

[@Voice_of_Adam]

I feel like the last eight years have been a series of "we finally got him!"s. It's like the media is catering to people who lack long term memory and/or a capacity for pattern recognition.

[@diamondlion47]

lol yeah, fraud is "just a single typo". Maybe just maybe, Trump, the guy who overvalued his apartment sq footage by 3 times, who has been found guilty of fraud multiple times now, is actually a crook. Trump University => fraud Trump Charity => fraud Trump Organization => fraud. Noticing a pattern here?

[@Dingdong-vo3vl]

​@@isocarboxazid they do a gotcha video every hour these days, with very clickbaity titles.

[@grantudemans6381]

What a great interview. Thank you .. go well Mr Rushdie

[@enigel1969]

Jon Stewart is a genius, being able to make me laugh at such a stressful topic!🤪

[@judyweeks1480]

It is ridiculous what the media is doing, freakin' ridiculous.

[@radioactivegaming7532]

Its about ratings. If we weren’t so addicted to coverage of him, they wouldn’t be like this.

[@mckymcobvious3043]

yeah maybe the ... profit motive ... is the problem, idk

[@gentleken7864]

They want trump to have a chance in the election because it gets them clicks. He has no chance, only in the eyes of the disingenuous media. They have to find content and trump is media gold. IF and this is big IF trump was to be elected, America is finished, and the media would be 100% responsible for it. It's like climate change, everyone knows it will be the end of humans, except for those who ignore it because they make money in businesses that are responsible for the majority of it.

[@diamondlion47]

It's almost like a former president is on criminal trial for the first time, that would be pretty huge news if that happened...

[@Sarcasticron]

@@diamondlion47 Almost as if the whole world was watching to see whether we can ever trust America again, or are they done with democracy now? Nixon may have been a criminal, but as far as we know he never gave away sensitive intel about America's allies to hostile nations in exchange for money and compliments.

[@Freebird1994]

Ok maybe, JUST MAYBE, 24 hour news was a bad idea.

[@MKPiatkowski]

Jessica! So wonderful to see you!

[@stooge389]

John literally looks younger and more relaxed. I'm so glad he's back. Maybe we can get him to do two shows a week:Monday, Friday.

[@wilfredsmith183]

So u want him to become less relaxed?

[@isocarboxazid]

@@wilfredsmith183yes

[@patriciapage2109]

That would only give him a 2 day weekend 😅 with 3 days in the middle.

[@LoneWolfZakuro14]

I’d be up for all days

[@sliceserve234]

He looks younger? He could play Father Time in Broadway plays now. Come on now.

[@magsj6474]

Jessica Williams rocks!

[@valkoharja]

Amazing to see Jessica Williams again

[@a2zin125]

And this called journalistic integrity, ladies and gentlemen.

[@kathygann7632]

Ya know, most people manage to go to court in ONE car without disrupting everyone else’s commute.

[@fahqkitty]

It's secret sevice protection and he doesn't have a choice.

[@davidandrews5262]

Did you know former presidents aren't allowed to drive themselves once out of office? They can drive a vehicle on private roads. But not public roads. It's an actual law. And trump is a law abiding citizen.

[@yahyaknow]

Hmm will he be clad by secret service in the hoosgow too?

[@davidandrews5262]

Former presidents aren't allowed to drive a car themselves on public roads. 🙄

[@Bluesayshello1]

JESSICA WILLIAMS!!!!! Yes yes yes yes! Years away and comes back swinging

[@tessie7e777]

I’ve been missing her! She’d be an excellent host!

[@Doodelz02]

JESSICA "my role is WAY better than yours" WILLIAMS! Deal with it!

[@cheloruiz7640]

People not missing cable TV. 👇🏻
