But very few kids in their 20s care what Joe Scarborough or Michael Steele say.
But they will care about the highly edited, one-sided tiktok or Instagram or YouTube videos of Stewart ranting about how old and incompetent Biden is on the Daily Show. Most of them are barely paying attention to anything outside their little bubble and most couldn't find Israel or even Mexico for that matter, even if given a map with it highlighted in yellow and arrows pointing to it. These young people are heavily influenced by social media which preys on their ignorance and complacency

I know many young people who profess to not remembering things. Hope22 Feb 2024 #52
And why didn't we see it in the media? If Stewarts writers found it, so could the media. spanone Feb 2024 #40
No shit the media is not our friend. The media knew it was there, they just ignored it. Jon didn't ignore it. Autumn Feb 2024 #41
Hasn't been since at least Reagan's era, and probably before. LT Barclay Feb 2024 #45
I'm excited too. (Relieved, even.) fishwax Feb 2024 #3
Pretending that he age will not be an issue is a losing strategy. Thunderbeast Feb 2024 #4
Of course it's an issue SocialDemocrat61 Feb 2024 #57

I didn't see any attacks on Biden. I saw a great comedian doing what he always does. Autumn Feb 2024 #11
Hey ripped on Biden non-stop angrychair Feb 2024 #20
As a Democrat I already knew that and I have found Democrats can focus on more than one thing at a time. Autumn Feb 2024 #23
The problem is angrychair Feb 2024 #29
You're demonstrably wrong. redqueen Feb 2024 #32
I appreciate that angrychair Feb 2024 #36
I think people are imagining reasons to worry and lashing out at others redqueen Feb 2024 #38
Not worried about voting angrychair Feb 2024 #42
That's what the media does. They only pick up on what benefits trump. Young people don't pay any attention to Autumn Feb 2024 #33
"republican propaganda machine"? Okay.... Chakaconcarne Feb 2024 #15
Any failure angrychair Feb 2024 #21
Maybe Democrats should watch the one he did of Trump on the witness stand and create a commercial using that. Autumn Feb 2024 #25
If you think one comedian on one show can "drive people away from Biden" wow... Caliman73 Feb 2024 #22
nothing much about character et tu Feb 2024 #12
I'm guessing he didn't meet the expectations of a lot of people. progressoid Feb 2024 #14
He surpassed every expectation I had. Autumn Feb 2024 #16
Its very hard for Jon to reach those expectations Johonny Feb 2024 #17
Political humor has always found low hanging fruit in negative memes on politicians karynnj Feb 2024 #18
He did fine. Caliman73 Feb 2024 #19
He feeds the news media narrative angrychair Feb 2024 #28
Then we should be angry at the media right? Caliman73 Feb 2024 #34
lots of us remember the outrageous both siderism he did to Hillary and Trump MistakenLamb Feb 2024 #24
We just watched it. Funny as always. underpants Feb 2024 #27

I flipping love Seth & a closer look. redqueen Feb 2024 #46
Looks like Jon Stewart will be just fine. Thank you for the post. Hekate Feb 2024 #47
Here's my perspective. Layzeebeaver Feb 2024 #48
Why waste our time preaching to the choir? Autumn Feb 2024 #49
I don't think he did that all that well. Layzeebeaver Feb 2024 #50
We see it very differently. Have a nice day. Autumn Feb 2024 #54

We all need a wake up call as much as Biden's handlers randr Feb 2024 #51
No. Jordan Klepper did a great job on the show last night. NoRethugFriends Feb 2024 #53
He's a comedian, that's what comedians do. I'm grateful he's on our side. Autumn Feb 2024 #55
You OK with him making fun of the stuttering? NoRethugFriends Feb 2024 #56
I watched the show, I never saw him make fun of Biden's stuttering. You post a link to that. Autumn Feb 2024 #59
I watched the video again. Jon Stewart did not make fun of Biden's stuttering. Why are you saying he did? Autumn Feb 2024 #61
It made me squirm, but maybe that's the point. Music Man Feb 2024 #60
Very well said. Abolishinist Feb 2024 #62
