Yes this is why he’s a hack. He’ll attack and jab but when he gets push back he pussies out with this. It’s a weasel thing to do.

I don’t know. I caught a few minutes last night. I never watch TDS outside of a few minutes here and there and didn’t even realize he was back on air yet, but I thought he was fine. At the very least he’s pretty funny, which is a huge step up from what they’ve had the last however many years or so.

And in the few minutes I saw he was doing a decent job bashing both sides. I’m pro Trump by default I guess, but I don’t care if people make fun of him. Just don’t pretend like he’s an idiot and Biden is great. And he didn’t last night. In fact he hit pretty hard on the fact that he’s losing his mind and isn’t fit for office, made fun of him for being on TikTok, and did the “can we video him being sharp and focused?” chocolate chip cookie bit.

I still won’t watch the show regularly but at least now if it’s on my tv I won’t break my neck trying to find the remote to change the channel like I did when Noah was on. Even if I don’t agree with Stewart’s politics, he makes the show a lot more palatable for me.
