Regarding the Trump assassination and why The Daily Show decided to not lampoon the RNC,
“What a terrible fucking week,” Stewart said at the opening the show.
Huh? He was okay. The shooter was dead. There were more suicides by veterans that day, but Trump was his concern? What the actual fuck?
But the DNC is being covered. Because that’s okay?

So, when we actually get a candidate that represents the values and the country, Stewart is going to mock them?
Wow. Mr. Sensitive is really not playing with a full deck. We like this person, but he wants to ridicule?
Huh.
Maybe some people are too old to do political comedy.
Really a shame they brought him back. Roy Wood Jr was the obvious choice for me, though Jordan Klepper would be a close second to helm the desk.
Stewart should have stayed retired.
@Cosmichomicide @feloneouscat Agree with you on Wood and Klepper, but would put Desi Lydic also in top tier. Ronny Cheing and Stewart are good, second tier. Troy Iwata shows promise for the next generation. But above them all, nobody matches Trevor Noah, we want you back man!
I love Trevor so much.
Trevor was very good. He was cynical without playing sides. I’ve been unimpressed with the current incarnation of the Daily Show. They are playing sides and protecting millionaires.
As partner said, they protect their own.
@feloneouscat i'm fine with ridiculing both sides IF there is good reason. wanting ratings isn't a good reason
perfect is the enemy of the good... we'll never have "perfect" and that's ok
