That article is a mess

It seems to start with the assumption that Stewart should be an activist leader, rather than a comedian with a TV show. and then it attacks stewart for... well... not being that. Even though it repeatedly acknowledges that Jon also acknowledges he's just a funny guy with a camera in front of him.

It's like the writer decided to write an "angry" article, and used a dartboard to decide who to be angry at, and and then decided what to be angry about by committee. It just comes off as vacuous and half-baked. With a lot of filler in the middle to plump the mandatory word count.
