Jon Stewart sides with Joe Rogan as more artists leave Spotify: 'This overreaction is a mistake'

[UTUSN]

16. I realize he has a fan base here, which I submit is rooted in his early years.

Like when Tweety and RUSSERT came from being branded as strong Democrats while active in politics, and we cheered them into media as ours, but in their media career became, or showed themselves to be at first "pragmatic" but then openly sided too much with Shrub and retroactively with RAYGUN, but continued to trade off of carrying the "Democratic" label, long after they had betrayed it too much and too often.

I remember how, after many here were clear about Tweety's perfidy, there would pop up defenders, who clearly had not kept up with his changes.

No way do I call STEWART a wingnut, certainly not in the Tweety/RUSSERT stage, but, something in the Third Way or collaborator class. I'll admit to having had confusion about him for a time: First, I accepted and liked him as a full Lib in those early years when he almost exclusively skewered wingnuts, but then came his Crossfire episode, then his Glen BecKKK matching rally, then his reaching out to O'LOOFAH, and I had enough of my confusion and of giving him the benefit of my doubt. No, not a wingnut, but something like Third Way or No Labels or collaborator.

To his fans who will rain outrage on me here, it's been done here before, so just don't. You can't change my mind and I can't change yours. I have my space and you yours.
