Yes. I feel slightly better about this knowing it is from 2016 and not like today, but still. Oh because someone saw it on social media it's not a thing Jon? Okie dokie.

Not what he said.  He said he didn't know and it was important.

More importantly, NOT everything you see on social media is real.  Hence the Comet Pizza shooter.[/quote]

No, not what I was saying. He smugly dismissed the guy, clearly a fan bringing up an important concern, and tried to make him look stupid. Had the audience laughing at him. Saying he hadn't seen "the tweets" as if social media is an insane way to get credible information. It is not. The fact that there is fake news doesn't = everything is fake news. Not how this works.

Jon Stewart's reaction is EXACTLY why people are silenced. Because you risk looking ridiculous if no one believes you. This guy looked ridiculous in the audience in 2016, and now he doesn't. Jon does though. [/quote]

I also think that he was friends with him for 30 years he would have heard of these allegations and this kind of behavior, or seen how he was around women. I don't buy the "I had no idea" from him or Pamela Adlon[/quote]

PP you are responding to. Who knows. I'm a Jon S. fan so willing to give him the benefit of the doubt...but you could be right.

But aside from that, this attitude of just making it seem so ridiculous and "I'm not that connected to that world" and "you saw it on the twitter...the tweets didja?" attitude just makes a mockery of the whole topic...and that's why it has taken until 2017 for us to get to this point.

He could have said, "Look, Louis is a friend of mine. But look at my beard, i've clearly been out of the loop (wait for laughter). I can't answer your question but I take sexual harassment very seriously..."

He could have responded differently vs. shutting the guy down by as a PP said having to appear as the smartest guy in the room. JS is a smart guy. He could have figured out a way to not throw his friend who I assume he believed under the bus without mocking the whole topic. [/quote]

Very well said, PP. [/quote]
