What’s instructive here is that Jon Stewart attempted to keep this secret. These people still attempt to maintain the aura of being independent thinkers when they’re nothing but court jesters to the king.
This revelation makes him small, deceitful, and not worthy of any relevance in the conversation. This is what Stewart was trying to avoid in concealing the visits with Obama.
One more reason young people should feel duped, and given Stewart’s influence and popularity, this is no small thing IMHO.
Stewart is not a court jester. He is the primary news source for millions of Americans, especially those under 35. His work as a propogandist for the left is harmful and effective. If it is true that david axel rod called Stewart personally to discuss strategy, that tells you how valuable the administration thinks Stewart is/was.
There needs to be an equivalent on the right, or 2016 may be last chance a republican has of winning a presidential election for the next 20 years.
