I love the guy and the courageous left-leaning progressive stances and slandering he's doing to the you-know-who administration atm.

I think he's up there with Ruby Setnik, Romesh Ranganathan and Stephen Colbert as my favourite leftist satirist, and his podcast is such a fun time-waster of a audio frequency too.

But I respect your opinion if you aren't a big fan of his.

Never really watched Steward and was only tangentially aware of him from the general internet where a lot of lefties seem to really like him. Then I encountered this skip intro video going into how he might appear to be progressive he is very much bothsiding things, and I question anything about him and his opinions a lot more.

    John Stewart has always been a bothsidser though, it's not like a trick or anything. His style made a lot of sense when things were ""normal"" (like back in 2008) but it doesn't really jive with me in the current landscape.

    Of course, you could argue that that's exactly what the technofeudalists want...
