After this, I hope we can finally stop the nostalgia about this guy. "He wasn't great but he pushed me left." Man, no one cares about how your old Chud/lib self became a leftist. Stop trying to excuse liberalism.
Stewart didn't push us left, worldwide atrocities did. If we heard about them for the first time via Jon then that's an indictment of the level of authoritarianism of the empire at that point in time, not a credit to Jon
He did an interview with Hugo Chavez once and it was probably the first time I had ever heard a socialist speak directly and unfiltered. I don't know if that counts.

Seems like it would be useful in identifying how to move others left in the future.
Did Jon Stewart make you become a leftist?

He was the only news source that wasn't tongued Bush's rectum. He made me not-a-liberal and inspired me to believe better things were possible.
Making fun of the right? :thonk:
