Tucker Carlson: How Jon Stewart Went Bad
They’re both giant douchebags, but it’s really a tough read because Tucker is even more petty than Stewart. I had a tough time reading it and I loathe Stewart and what the Daily Show has evolved into, so apologists beware.
Like most sermons, Stewart’s showdown with Jim Cramer ended with a neat moral lesson. Once journalists who cover business regain their sense of responsibility and “start getting back to fundamentals on the reporting,” Stewart said gravely, “I can get back to making fart noises and funny faces.”
But it’s too late. The great comedian is gone, maybe forever. Jon Stewart is stuck in lecture mode.
I do still feel that Stewart can be very funny - when he’s not being holier-than-thou (which happens all too often these days).
