Either Jon wanted off the air, in which case, he should STFU now, he gave up his bully pulpit, orrrr, he was crying about the end of his run on The Daily Show because he was being forced out, in which case, what did his employers have on him?

Good for Jon Stewart ...

Lots of decent people are sick of the darkness of ‘cancel culture’. It’s totalitarian. Intelligent people know that. Jon Stewart’s not the only ‘liberal’ standing up against that evil.

We could be turning a corner.

Exactly.

And hell, one of Neal’s biggest hits was a protest song about murder by government, and here is is telling us we should be trusting the government. The irony is palpable.
