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

[@deanfiora4227]

The 24-hour news cycle is the worst thing ever to happen to broadcast journalism.

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. I would argue that corporate ownership of the media - the root cause of the 24-hour news cycle - is 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.

Why is don the con able to literally walk out of the courtroom straight to cameras and given this huge platform, he's a freaking criminal!!!

[@thegoodpimps]

We’re in the Political Entertainment era. Got to allow the Heels to give their Promos so we can sellout Wrestlemania.

[@radchad992]

Time out, for anyone to be literal criminal they have to be convicted.

[@fahqkitty]

Due process? Presumption of Innocence? I mean, it's only protected by the 5th, 6th, and 14th amendment. But if the Bill of Rights isn't really important to you, it's also considered a Human Right under the UNs Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenent on Civil and Political Rights Treaty. It's also a thing in like, most of the civilized world.

[@Shuizid]

@@fahqkitty We all know Trump is guilty. How we know this? Because Cohen already was found guilty and even served his time for this exact crime. Yet we are over half a decade late on prosecuting Trump.

[@seank5381]

@@fahqkitty Actually, he has already been convicted of multiple crimes-white-collar crimes, but crimes nonetheless. Therefore, calling him a criminal is correct.

[@KazKcatta]

What a joy to see Jessica and Jon back together!! ❤

[@richardanderson4185]

That was worth waiting for. Jessica Williams nailed it.

[@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.

[@denfool902]

WOOHOO Jessica Williams on The Daily Show with Jon after all these years. Still got the magic.

[@420zackmac420]

Thank you Jon Stewart and all the staff at The Daily Show!

[@ijkventure]

I got used to not hearing about Trump and to see him back on US MSM makes me glad there are international media outlets that actually report on NEWS.

[@resistersister4]

Did you actually say you got used to NOT seeing orange face in a long time. Did you just crawl out from under a rock??? He consumes every chance to get attention

[@ijkventure]

@@resistersister4 yes because he wasn't on the news ever single moment of everyday when Biden became president, after all that insurrection drama. Then he started getting some attention close to the election season and now here we go again 🙄

[@MsUppie]

Mainstream media is all about ratings and entertainment.

[@virginiaoflaherty2983]

That's where I go for news these days too.

[@martavdz4972]

I actually visit the Latvian English-language news website. Even they have more world news than U.S. TV channels. Succinct and informative without pushing any opinion.

[@tessie7e777]

Could not be more thrilled to see Jessica Williams!

[@salishseas]

Jon is a national treasure. He is one in a billion. Imagine being this brilliant.

[@lanceperfect]

Wonderful to see Jessica again--welcome back, and well done!

[@EwokPanda]

I don't know what it is, but no matter how I'm feeling, as soon I see this video updated on Monday nights, I feel a sense of relief as I click on it.

[@chichicastepicon8577]

Sanity

Dopamine 😊

[@exunderscorejai]

I've never seen Jessica Williams before but I'm now in love with Jessica Williams

[@bennettshapiro7711]

John Stewart has some of the most effective an honest media analysis happening. It’s too bad our media doesn’t take some lessons from him. He has a lot to teach.

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

I like TV Jon Stewart a lot more than Podcast Jon Stewart. He is so much more effective when he can use a visual medium.

[@OrbitalCookie]

Thing is, he is summarising, the others are padding time.

[@chojinnppp]

How to vastly underpay real estate taxes?

[@lousialb8962]

Except he himself talked about nothing but the Trump trial for this entire segment

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

@@lousialb8962 Looks like you had a hard time following that segment. At no point he claimed that nobody should talk about the trial.

[@suemccord2633]

Rewatching..again. Thank you so very much Jon. The humor is so needed right now!🎉❤🎉

[@naygirl334]

And they wonder why “EVERYONE” has left Broadcast Media for Social Media in order to get their news. THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS!!!.

[@jermalmcmillan1858]

Which turned out to be a much worse choice, full of people who want to tell their point ,disregarding facts and inflamminng hyperbole

[@antoniaescobar8159]

Everyone? 😂

[@duramaxdad]

@@jermalmcmillan1858Which is a symptom of the corporate news.

[@ncwordman]

@@duramaxdad Only in the sense that some people stopped watching broadcast media (corporate news), and get their so-called news from social media. And the social media is really banal entertainment of the most absolutely lowest caliber, making it worse than broadcast news.

[@samc9133]

​@@duramaxdadHmm but at this point I sorta think social media may be self sustaining, yeah? Now that it's developed this far I'm not sure one could ever put the cat back in the bag, even if every TV and news station blew up all at once right now. Not to say you're wrong about it being symptomatic, I agree with that!

[@ljholiday]

I want more Jessica Williams.

[@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!

[@bubbledagger]

Thank you for pointing out this disgrace to journalism.

[@mako9673]

Nice to see Jessica Williams back too

[@CabinFever52]

Yes, Jon, thank you for so eloquently stating the TRUTH.

[@hudson2861]

OK that has been the best one so far since your return. And Jessica Williams!?!?!?!!!! Absolutely brilliant!!!!!

[@connorgreenwell5731]

Thank goodness they informed me of the still photograph. I would not have understood otherwise.

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

The Media is covering this Bigly

[@kimbercole2438]

And also 'strongly it's 'beautiful' 😅😂 uphill me boys! 😅😂

[@sanseijedi]

Sigh.

[@blitzkrieg2142k]

Very bigly and tremendously. I never saw so many cameras. And you, they it's so big it may even be the biggest of the century. And that people, that's a very long time.

[@whiskyjames4200]

Deservingly so...

[@whiskyjames4200]

"Don't fight up the hill me boys!" 😆

[@katherinebilich9219]

Yeah, the press is pathetic.

[@chucker822]

trump is MORE pathetic!

[@chayoto]

Amazing how frustrated they are at not being able to get footage from inside the courtroom.

[@Celestial_Reach]

Its all about making money to them, they don't care if America burns for it

[@TeeHaa0032]

The older I get the more I realize that all I really need to keep up to date is a weekly news bulletin. There is literally nothing I can do with the daily journal... let alone with the hourly or by the minute garbage.

[@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.

[@Nolen_Sorento]

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?

[@Nolen_Sorento]

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