Jon Stewart EASILY could have said this last year when the mainstream media was trying to suppress the Chinese origin “theory” (it clearly came from China), but he didn’t. He is a coward who will only “speak up” when it is convenient to. Now that the Chinese lab origin is getting some steam again, John wants to look like a maverick by saying something.
Nothing more than a parasite who only says what is most politically and socially convenient to him and his image. If he had a single ounce of honesty and integrity, he would have expressed his opinions earlier without worrying about what the mainstream media will do to make him look bad.
He's not doing it because it's convenient and to make himself look better. He was retired wasn't he? You're not allowed to stop serving the demons just because you think you got enough earthly riches out of it. No, he sold his soul to ply propaganda and now he's been dragged out to do it again.
The powers that be don't give up because it's become slightly more inconvenient to attempt to gaslight an entire population. The question you should be asking is, what are they prepping to shove down your throat after they've regained your goodwill with this token gesture. All the normie/neocons spouting "Based Stewart!" are retards
This is the uniparty system writ small. Some people feel like they've won something but the agenda marches on regardless
This lab push has completely KILLED all talk of the numbers being fake from the start. Just before the faucci dump, we had piles of information to show that it was all just flu deaths, and it's all that was being talked about.
After the release, it's all "It came from a lab!" 24/7.
Rightwing media has now legitimized all the fake ass numbers in a scramble to say "See, we always knew it came from a lab!"

The sad reality is that a lot of these rich people are just as cowed as the little people are, even though they don't have to worry about not being able to make rent because they have an opinion.
Jon is just another liberal, he can't think very much outside of the box. I too loved The Daily Show + Colbert Report, especially in the Bush years (cause fuck Bush). During Obama they weren't quite as good and I think Jon was wise to quit when he did. Here is my favorite clip from Colbert: https://youtu.be/7x7craNiUrM
I mean, yes, it was a conspiracy. A bunch of people got together and conspired to make all this happen.
Any time somebody uses the word "conspiracy" or "conspiracy theory" to mean "incorrect thing", I have a really hard time taking anything they say seriously. It demonstrates a fealty to newspeak, and nobody who falls for media newspeak can possibly be intelligent.
That clip should be studied as a textbook case of pilpul.
Stewart went on Carlson's show to debate but every time Stewart was nailed on his own bullshit he would hide behind 'It's a comedy show.' or 'I follow foul mouthed puppets, you can't take me seriously.' That's how it works.
The entire show was a news show disguised as comedy to avoid being held responsible for the content. Look at the shows it spawned for confirmation because in typical fashion they just pushed the envelope a little further and made their intentions a little clearer. Cobert, Samantha Bee, John Oliver all cover news but do it 'funny' to make the propaganda easier to disguise.
It's very effective. It creates a second layer of resistance to contradictory evidence. Firstly, people don't like being shown they were wrong, which is the first layer. The second layer is that they got the opinion from someone that they like that has a history of making them laugh, fond memories and the like, and they don't want that person to be wrong either.
Luckily, as far as I've seen, Jon Stewart was the last one to do it well. Everyone else's minds are too fucking warped by the bullshit to land a joke anymore.
That debate with Tucker was gruesome. He made Tucker look like an idiot. He is also superior to Bilk O'Reilly. However there was one profound ting at the tail end Bill said that was amazing.
That's what I thought when I first watched it back when it happened.
Then I rewatched it a few years ago and thought, "wow, Jon Stewart is a fucking idiot." Might have just been that I was an idiot the first time I saw it.
I disagree that Stewart was wrong what he said. CNN was and is harmful, is part of politicians' strategies, is full of partisan hacks, and fail miserably at their role in the public discourse. That was as true then as it is now.
The issue is Stewart was and is the master of telling half-truths. His show while not necessarily part of a politicians' strategy was part of a larger social strategy intended to redefine what sort of politicians would be electable in the future and the sorts of policies they'd be able to support.
He'd get someone on with "bad" views and ridicule them to put the association in peoples' minds that those views are ridiculous because the people with those views are ridiculous. Or he'd get people on with "good" views and make them seem personable and relatable and put the association in peoples' minds that those views are reasonable. By doing this he could shape the political discourse while claiming he's above petty politics: he's just illustrating the absurdity as he wants people to see it.
He even gives the game away during the interview: "the only way it'd be harder [to make fun of a Kerry Administration] is if his administration was less absurd than this one, so in that case if it's less absurd than yeah it'd be harder". The implication being that if he doesn't report on something it's because it isn't "absurd". Which is just as dishonest a way of framing an argument as anything he criticizes politicians and CNN for and is something that CNN does too, but he doesn't mention that.

I agree. His masters called him out to spew the new side of propaganda. They had him do it as a joke so that the sheep will be easier to accept it.
The sad reality is that a lot of these rich people are just as cowed as the little people are, even though they don't have to worry about not being able to make rent because they have an opinion.
They won't stick their neck out far at all.

Which is why it is so funny. Colbert was sweating bullets
Hey I like Anal Cunt once in a while.
Isn't it frustrating that it always takes a mainstream left wing figure to explain to them something everyone else has known for a year now?
Why does Jon Stewart hate the chinese? #StopAsianHate
I mean, yes, it was a conspiracy. A bunch of people got together and conspired to make all this happen.

You know, when Colbert started reaching for the break, I had a sudden recollection of the Fox show where Stewart took apart Tucker Carlson.
That clip should be studied as a textbook case of pilpul.

Yeah, they started doing that a long time ago - using comedy to groom people to their ideology, that is.
See: Norman Lear.
And I bet there's examples that go all the way back to the ancient Greeks, if one looked at things closely enough.

Who is?
What did Bill say?
