[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jon Stewart was busy writing and producing the Daily Show for over a decade delivering news:

He wasn't following random tweets or reading Gawker.[/quote]

It was his job to be up on the news. [/quote]

One page of anonymous Gawker gossip, a deleted podcast, and unattributed tweets aren't news.  [/quote]

3 separate sources you have arbitrarily dismissed because you said so.  Even though they were widely discussed and have been proven to be true.

Wishful thinking on your part.[/quote]

Widely discussed by whom?  Who are all comedians?  Who were the authors of the Gawker blurb?  Who were their sources?  This is not example of journalism.  I'm not dismissing anything or anyone.  You need to apply critical thinking skills not just play Monday morning quarterback.

This is the wiki description of the daily show:  During Stewart's tenure the show became more strongly focused on politics and the national media, in contrast with the pop culture focus during Kilborn's tenure. Describing itself as a fake news program, The Daily Show draws its comedy and satire from recent news stories, political figures, media organizations, and often, aspects of the show itself. The show typically opens with a long monologue relating to recent headlines and frequently features exchanges with one or more of several correspondents, who adopt absurd or humorously exaggerated takes on current events against the host's straight man persona. The final segment is devoted to a celebrity interview, with guests ranging from actors and musicians to nonfiction authors and political figures.

Stewart spent most of his time reading and discussing heavy duty topics, e.g.:

He spent time and effort trying to protect journalists, e.g. Rose water or the rally he and Colbert did.

Op, if this was such a well known truth, how come [b]you[/b] didn't post the "allegations" naming names years ago?

Dude, we know you're a Stewart fanboy.  His other accomplishments does not make it okay for him to publicly support a serial sexual abuser.  Or to mock someone's attempts to discuss said widely known allegations.[/quote]
