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.

DP. He treated the question as seriously as it was asked -- the question was about a deleted year-old podcast and some tweets. Yeah, Stewart laughed it off, it was kind of a ridiculous way to ask a question. Then he thought about it, did a bit of research, didn't uncover anything, and says now, in light of the information we all have now, that it's a problem.

Someone explain to me what the problem with all of that is.


Why don't you listen to Stewart himself in the new interview- he explains why it was wrong.

You know, it annoys me so much that these slimy guys who had no compassion for the issue, like Stewart and C.K. himself, a week ago, are now telling sob stories and acting so sorrowful. Meanwhile we saw how he mocked it in the video. It's only when the public pressure becomes too much- and then suddenly they are sooooooo remorseful and take it so seriously.

The falseness of it all is like salt in the wound.
