Maybe the absurd PP defending Stewart will STFU now.

I was just coming to post this. I think the following from the piece addresses a lot of the questions/points on this thread:

Stewart claimed he first heard about allegations of harassment against Louis C.K. during a taping of David Axelrod's podcast The Axe Files in May of 2016. "I hadn't heard, at that point, at any of it," Stewart remembered. "[An audience member] said, 'what do you think about the allegations against Louis C.K.?' My first response, was, 'what?' And then, joke, joke. As he kept going, I was like, 'look, I know this is very serious, he's always been a gentleman to me' – which speaks again to the blindness that I think a man has. 'Hey, he's a good guy, what are you talking about?'"

Stewart said that following the podcast taping, he "dug around" to determine if there was any truth behind the audience member's question. "We were all assured, like, 'no,' and we took somebody's word for it," Stewart continued. "And maybe that's an error on our part … [Sexual harassment] is another endemic, system problem that we haven't had the urgency for, certainly myself included. I hope it changes."

I dont believe he had never heard of the abuse allegations. Even if that was the first time though, if someone asked me whether someone I knew had sexually abused a person, my reaction wouldnt be laughter. I would be like "What? Can you tell me what's happening?" He didn't look curious at all, just dismissed it out of hand. That adds to my feeling he already knew- he didnt look shocked by any of it, more like annoyed that he was being questioned about it. Regardless, his reaction was completely inappropriate, and I'm not sure an apology is enough.

Then what would be enough? It isn't as if he can go back in time and do more, and it probably won't happen again in his lifetime.

The only thing he could do to possibly salvage this would be to actually advocate for men and campaign against and condemn male abusers. But even that... it might be too little too late.

That would be great if he did. Simultaneously, I hope you're much more forgiving of other human failures IRL.

+1
Including PP's *own* human failures, of which I'm sure there are a few. I hate this moral grandstanding. Stewart made a mistake. He apologized for it. I'm moving on, and it's a shame PP doesn't seem able to.

Lol. Really? It’s already time to move on?

There’s something to be learned when it comes to the velocity by which we’re told to move on from powerful men’s mistakes.

NP here. From one woman to another, you are insufferable.

NP here. From one woman to another, you are pathetic.

This is not a minor mistake.

Um, ok. Have you never laughed inappropriately? Never made an off-color remark and then regretted it? You're saying that you're beyond reproach, in every aspect of your sainted life? Please. Give us all a break.

It’s weird to me that you care so much about Jon Stewart. I bet even Jon Stewart himself would suggest that you give it up st this point.

And it's weird to many of us that you care so much about putting Jon Stewart on trial for what amounts to a poor choice of words. You seemed obsessed by it. Aren't you the one who dramatically announced you could "never forgive him"? Do you always overreact to everything in your life?
