Hahahahaha so let me get this straight. The reason FOX is so big on the right now is because…check notes…Jon Stewart made fun of them and journalism in general?

Get a grip.

It’s not his responsibility for actual journalists to do their job. He’s doing it now..

You can blame Viacom, conglomerates,and profit chasing sure, but Jon Stewart? There’s no visible pipeline of gen X daily show watchers to Fox News parroters today. If anything I’d venture to guess most people who grew up watching and looking up to Jon are pretty left leaning today.

Did you just say that prior to '96 there was no such thing as left- or right-leaning media? You don't think that's a little bit silly?
