Jon Stewart Tackles The Trump Conviction Fallout & Puts The Media on Trial | The Daily Show

[@garylaviolette5853]

Stewart is right that every reporter should call out politicians about their lies immediately to their faces!

[@AsifKhan-hf9zy]

but then they won't get invited next time around. and to the media corp that employs them, they d be useless, if they no longer ve access to the politician. and so the reporter would be let go thereafter.

⁠yeah, except if cable news journalists actually did that, they'd be out of a job. News sells, they need to keep generating revenue. For what it's worth, at least NPR has journalists that push back against lies or ask for proof or just straight up say "that's factually incorrect", but NPR is poorly funded and needs donations unlike cable news, plus has such a massive stigma in the right that the people that need to hear journalistic integrity will never hear it.

Jon has a long and storied history, essentially all of it by way of The Daily Show. Though if you wanna see him at his best, Google "Stewart crossfire" -- he was a guest, and essentially killed the show.

[@ERAforALL]

If this is true, then for fun look up two particular Jon Stewart interviews. The first was on “Crossfire” when he was a guest, and eviscerated the hosts (one was Tucker Carlson) so thoroughly that the show was canceled. The other was an episode of “The Daily Show” in which he destroyed Jim Cramer. His fiery speeches before Congress for 9/11 first responder’ medical treatment, and his scathing press conferences ripping up the Congressional Republicans who gleefully voted against the PACT Act (improving medical care for veterans suffering from working in burn pits) both brought forth legislation to help Americans.
