And even if some question slip through occasionally, they wont be coming from the media that the voters of that politician ever watch.

Why don't they EVER call out politicians on anything they've said?? Maybe bc WE don't demand they do??? Turn off any "reporter" or channel that doesn't hold past utterances accountable!!!!
They will not notice if you just turn them off. We should tell them (not harassing them either) that they missed such or such point at such or such interview, and praise them when they correctly grilled such or such interviewee. There are emails, and social networks. Or, communication with the editor boards. (Once, I protested to the editor of a British newspaper for an insensitive column about someone's death. The editor wrote me back and said they'll take care about that.) There are reporters who do confront their interviewees flip-flops and lies. There are also plenty of interviewees who double down on their lies or irrational claims. Case on point, the Kristi Noem interviews mentioning the dog affair.
The problems in our nation exist because we the people have sat by for several generations and watched the whole thing go down the toilet. It's our fault for denying our duty to participate. The "vote and complain" philosophy is not how this system was intended to function. Everyone is blaming everyone. I'm saying it's me, and you and that's it.
I've said it before and i'll say it again: News Agencies, organizations and individuals that present the news should not have 1st Amendment rights. If caught lying there should be % based fines and be forcibly taken off the air if non compliant.
They should at least be forced to distinguish between "news" and "editorial." After all, even if you remove Freedom of the Press, they would still have Freedom of Speech.
Happens to many of us, sooner or later. For me, it was Iraq, fifteen years earlier. And then, for the people before me, there was the Lewinsky scandal. And then AIDS. Iran-Contra. Watergate. Vietnam. The list goes on. Powerful people always lie about something, sooner or later. Making people believe their lies is part of why they are powerful in the first place. And for every one of them, the media will always be around to give them the beneft of the doubt, and thus end up making the powerful even moreso, at our expense.
All the GOP Sedition Caucus whining about lawfare. It's NOT lawfare to prosecute someone when there is evidence of a crime.

Who would have thought that going after political opponents for nonsense changes could have negative ramifications? Ironically dems are setting all the dangerous democracy-destroying precedents.
I’ve been laughing because for months I’ve listened to media shows say, “Well, as you know, we don’t pay much attention to to polls because they are meaningless at this point, but next up we are going to do an hour-long speculation on what the latest polls might mean.”
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.
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.
Thank you, Jon Stewart. You are correct. The news media should report, clearly and accurately, what has happened, and what is happening now. Thanks again.
Just unfortunate to see him guilty of the very thing he accused 'the media' of doing here. He engaged in the "two realities" by blasting Democrats for plotting Trump's trial as part of the great plan. Then he turns around rips Republicans for accusing the same thing. I have no idea why he felt the need to 'both sides' that issue when its clear where reality actually lies. Stewart is usually on his game, but that was a big oof.
@@ashleyobrien4937 Yep, 24 hour news and news at our fingertips put paid the media 'reporting' the news, now they have to 'make' the news to remain relevant.

It really doesn’t matter if Alvin Bragg was the most politically motivated man in the country.

These jurors were called at random from the jurisdiction the crime took place and both the defense and prosecutions had an equal amount of strikes.
And in republican-led states they’ll change their laws to not recognize New York’s laws. Ron Desantis already said that Trump will be allowed to vote for himself in Florida.

There is also another new independent network on RUclips, Meidas Touch, that is straight forward with news and legal breakdowns. It's worth a listen - they are #1 on the RUclips platform.
And my Midas. touch. They're awesome for a new source too. Because that's the truth.😊😊❤
The problem is that NEWS has become entertainment, and not news.
Not very entertaining 😐
Misspelled propaganda
Unfortunately that’s true! Especially with fox!
@@marvinmartin4692 To be fair. I mean... Fox News itself said during the law suits that they're an entertainment channel not a news channel.
The work of Jon Stewart, his colleagues at TDS and John Oliver is the closest thing to real journalism on air in America
Yes. I absolutely agree with you. What is wrong with people that don’t call out the liars?
Jon, you're incredible! People have been ignoring reality for long enough. Being very patriotic, it's a hard time for citizens in my age group. You speak to me and those like me who are getting tired of missing a kinder, more honest country. Plus, the laughter is feeling great. Thanks for returning.

Thank you Mr Stewart for venting our frustrations & making us laugh along the way. Insane times we're living in
Yes!
Thank you for FINALLY calling out the News media. This is a call out that is LONG overdue!
um ... finally? he's been doing this all along.
His show has always been centered on that.
@@ChaunceyZalkin To be fair, he's been catching his breath for a few weeks before he's gotten back to "Play clip of Media saying one thing" and then shouting out to his production team "Now play clip 2/12."
Has to be sarcasm. That's all anybody does
Years and years overdue!
Jon Stewart is so amazing. One of the few mainstream bastions of fairness, analysis, equity, and attempted truth. The United States' media and political systems should be ashamed. We could be SOOO much greater of a country than we are. And not simply in the "political catchphrase" way now trumpeted.
Still a liberal bias, which he admits, but simply not going to lie about things like majority of liberals.
Telling the truth with such intensity, comedic timing and shameless courage --is food for my soul. Thank you!!!
Whoever decided to show the before and in court footage...well done!..the whole of America needs to watch this!!
I actually can't believe we're getting Jon Stewart for a POTUS election again. This is going to get epic. 22 Mondays left!
Jon bailed out about 5-6 months before the 2016 election.
I'm not saying he was wrong in ANY way, but it sure would've been nice if he was there til after.
I'm very happy he's back now though!
... Epic is why he's back.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💙💙💙
I'm so glad Stewart came back to The Daily Show, he couldn't have returned at a better time than now!
WOW when you put it like that...😢
Stewart is a national treasure and Comedy Central is the best news network.
There are people who have been waiting for the day Trump was convicted of fraud since the 70s. There are many who never lived to see the see this day. The victims of his frauds.
😂 no people loved trump before he started calling himself a Republican than people went crazy
@@damianalexander9937not true, NYC hated the dude cause he ripped people off constantly
@@damianalexander9937 People who only watched The Apprentice and didn’t do their due diligence loved Trump. Everybody else, going back to the 1970s, knows that Trump is a deadbeat, fraudster, misogynistic, philandering, dimwitted, barely closeted racist scumbag.

How refreshing to see someone on US TV accurately describing the news media.

It's sadly been that for ages
Agreed. I think we're all burned out on it. I don't watch speculative commentary anymore which is all that cable news is anymore. I'll stick to the PBS News Hour.

10:57 As an attorney, Jon, THANK YOU for saying this. Courts are one of the three pillars. They matter. So, so much
😂
Thats why he will win the appeal
@@sandlotscout6358 What's why?
@@sandlotscout6358 LOL, oh, sweetie. You don't even have the most basic idea how this works. First off, to win an appeal, you generally have to show *legal* error in the judge's decisions during trial. It's not a relitigation of the trial itself (barring exceptional circumstances, such as the emergence of huge new evidence), not that such a thing would help you. A jury (including a guy who said he only gets his news from Truth Social) taking less than a day to unanimously find guilt on 34 charges is a sign that you lost that argument decisively. You might as well be a JV high-school football team asking for a re-do of your game against the Patriots.
All you have, as you've demonstrated, is confused and ignorant non-sequiturs. You're basically a living parody of yourself at this point.
What's the crime?
Maybe its just me, but I think all the political criminals should be brought to justice, regardless of political party 🤷♂️
That's the law, and Justice should prevail.

This is absolutely brilliant television! We need Jon SO MUCH right now. His sermon on the difference between utterances out of court and utterances in court needs to be played everywhere, but especially in schools.
There should just be massive fines for anything said on air that is shown to be blatantly false.

Not a fan of the 1st Amendment?
@@blitzofchaosgaming6737 So the first amendment should protect anyone saying anything, no matter how harmful or inaccurate they are? Look at Fox news, flat earthers, and the cognitive divide in this country, that's the result of your anything goes attitude.
@@blitzofchaosgaming6737 Free speech without limit isn't freedom, it's anarchy. The state of nature. If conservatives broadcast lies, they should go before a jury. If 12 Americans can unanimously agree something is BS, then it is BS. Same thing for hate speech.
@craigbowers4016in the court case where Fox News was sued for 787 million, they stated that they are purely for entertainment and nobody should take them seriously. But of course that’s not true and millions of people take them seriously. They are knowingly manipulating a giant population of people. They should be shut down.
News media needs to embrace the line "roll the tape" after a question is asked.
He's the only one who says it out loud. News should be reality based not creating fear.
ALL. OF. THIS. Thank you, Jon, for coming back. We needed this.
Those who are invested in peddling lies will not watch this or care.

I cant believe Jon is back on the Daily Show!
His arguments are still as sharp and intelligent as ever. Hasn't missed a beat!
Why don't they EVER call out politicians on anything they've said?? Maybe bc WE don't demand they do??? Turn off any "reporter" or channel that doesn't hold past utterances accountable!!!!
The people who own the corporate media are in business with politicians. Those who dont toe the corporate line are dismissed, plain and simple.
They will not notice if you just turn them off. We should tell them (not harassing them either) that they missed such or such point at such or such interview, and praise them when they correctly grilled such or such interviewee. There are emails, and social networks. Or, communication with the editor boards. (Once, I protested to the editor of a British newspaper for an insensitive column about someone's death. The editor wrote me back and said they'll take care about that.)
There are reporters who do confront their interviewees flip-flops and lies. There are also plenty of interviewees who double down on their lies or irrational claims. Case on point, the Kristi Noem interviews mentioning the dog affair.
"it's all for you Damien" RATINGS....RATINGS..... RATINGS!!!😮
See "access journalism."
The problems in our nation exist because we the people have sat by for several generations and watched the whole thing go down the toilet.
It's our fault for denying our duty to participate. The "vote and complain" philosophy is not how this system was intended to function.
Everyone is blaming everyone.
I'm saying it's me, and you and that's it.
I've said it before and i'll say it again: News Agencies, organizations and individuals that present the news should not have 1st Amendment rights. If caught lying there should be % based fines and be forcibly taken off the air if non compliant.
They should at least be forced to distinguish between "news" and "editorial." After all, even if you remove Freedom of the Press, they would still have Freedom of Speech.
One of Jon's best segments. His media critique has always been his best trait. The MSM is laughable.
I see what you're getting at , but... if only the situation and the MSM actually were laughable. It's just too dangerous.
The fringe media is downright dangerous ☹️

Happens to many of us, sooner or later. For me, it was Iraq, fifteen years earlier. And then, for the people before me, there was the Lewinsky scandal. And then AIDS. Iran-Contra. Watergate. Vietnam. The list goes on.
Powerful people always lie about something, sooner or later. Making people believe their lies is part of why they are powerful in the first place. And for every one of them, the media will always be around to give them the beneft of the doubt, and thus end up making the powerful even moreso, at our expense.

Who would have thought that going after political opponents for nonsense changes could have negative ramifications? Ironically dems are setting all the dangerous democracy-destroying precedents.
I’ve been laughing because for months I’ve listened to media shows say, “Well, as you know, we don’t pay much attention to to polls because they are meaningless at this point, but next up we are going to do an hour-long speculation on what the latest polls might mean.”
It's gonna be a (insert color here) wave!!!!
Goes the other way
Well, the (insert color here) wave will still happen, just not during an off year.
Am British and just discovered jon stewart. He is BRILLIANT. So glad the USA has someone like him. To tell it how it is VERY cleverly
He's no Ricky, but we'll take him.
what are you 12?
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.
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.

Maybe you don't understand comparison/contrast. It can be one of the best bits ever if it's as always.
Thank you, Jon Stewart. You are correct. The news media should report, clearly and accurately, what has happened, and what is happening now. Thanks again.
It used to be like that, then sensationalism started the ball rolling, and now it is one giant ball of unstoppable chaos.
Just unfortunate to see him guilty of the very thing he accused 'the media' of doing here.
He engaged in the "two realities" by blasting Democrats for plotting Trump's trial as part of the great plan. Then he turns around rips Republicans for accusing the same thing. I have no idea why he felt the need to 'both sides' that issue when its clear where reality actually lies.
Stewart is usually on his game, but that was a big oof.
@@ashleyobrien4937 Yep, 24 hour news and news at our fingertips put paid the media 'reporting' the news, now they have to 'make' the news to remain relevant.

How is it that a comedian provides more relevant and realistic news coverage than actual journalists? Thank you for always saying what needs to be said, Jon.
Describing him as a comedian has always been ridiculous.

If it only was that. The media want what the oligarchs want. Making it about ratings excuses their complicity in being traitors to this country.
I actually thought Biden’s slow turn and smile was intentionally funny. He threw shade just but giving a look. That takes skill.
I agree. I'm so sick of this b******* of running down everything Biden does just because it isn't the response they think it should be
Many comedians and Stewart in particular use smiles to convey responses. I guess it's only expressive when they do it. 🤷♀️
Exactly. It was a "chef's kiss"
A truly iconic moment.
The smile of a psychopathic war criminal
It was a presidential mic drop
Thank you Jon. Your segments are as cathartic as a primal scream from all of us…what will it take for the media to hear us??
I personally love Biden’s 70’s freeze frames. They feel so relatable.
This is the best monologue of the year. Go on Jon, school these lazy media anchors and reporters. The news media are not doing their part
If Trump doesn’t debate Biden he should be made to do an interview with Jon Stewart.
Fake statement. Biden is the only one who doesn't want to debate cause he is brain dead.

YES. A presedential debate hosted by John Stewart. He asks a question, they each get a minute to answer, and then he gets two minutes to rip them to shreds.

I wonder how many times Trump's mother had to tell him as a child, "I saw you! I watched you do it!"
You assume his mother paid any attention to him beyond yelling at the housekeeper to “get him under-control. I have a headache.”

"Fake news, you need your eye's checked old lady, and yelling at a child? Why, you should be locked up."
This is such a powerful comment, it says so much about him.

It really doesn’t matter if Alvin Bragg was the most politically motivated man in the country.
At the end of the day 12 jurors looked at the evidence, and unanimously agreed the state proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt. These jurors were called at random from the jurisdiction the crime took place and both the defense and prosecutions had an equal amount of strikes.

His lawyers couldn't even sow reasonable doubt much less prove one of the hardest things to prove in the legal system.

The crimes were committed blocks away from the courthouse, no reason to move it for some forum shopping aristocrat, not abuse of discretion.
