Jon Stewart Shrugs Off 'Daily Show' Backlash About Joe Biden | THR News

Jon Stewart isn't walking back his criticism of President Joe Biden. Stewart generated plenty of headlines for his big return to 'The Daily Show' last week, where he mocked Biden for his apparent age-related cognitive issues. Some progressives have slammed the segment, accusing Stewart of inadvertently helping Biden's presumed election rival, Donald Trump. Stewart opened his second show back hosting the Comedy Central late-night series by diving right into the backlash, specifically citing a story from The Hollywood Reporter.

Jon Stewart Shrugs Off 'Daily Show' Backlash About Joe Biden | THR News

The Hollywood Reporter

Jon doesn't need to apologize for anything 🤷‍♂️.
What he said last week was funny ash PERIOD 😂.

[redbarchetta]

As well he should. What he said last week was 100% true on both Biden and Trump PERIOD. Whoever though Jon was going to bend over for their side clearly never really listened to Jon.

[JayRamahi]

Excuse me THR, but no ‘progressive’ condemns Jon for his criticisms of running Biden as president. That would be the liberals who freaked out over his segment.

[ReelPodcasts]

This is a man that literally had his show unrenewed by Apple because he stuck to his guns and was gonna cover multiple episodes about China. He shouldn't back down because the man has principles which is rare in today's media landscape.

[WriterusAeternus]

There should be a backlash against the backlash

[DrFunkman]

You might not remember this since it’s been a while, but Jon Stewart hits both sides and hates hypocrisy. We all needed this

[healthy]

out of 130, 000, 000 people that vote. These are the two people that we get to choose to lead the nation.

[ovidiumiinea]

He didn't pivot Tucker is a propagandist

[rvds]

imagine that, not walking back his criticism of the democratically elected president of the free country he lives in

[KikyoPlay]

The value and integrity of Jon Stewart is that he gives honest criticism. Ignoring the issues would be dishonest and biased. The media has responded to propaganda with othersided propaganda and wonder why everyone is tired of it

[markopolo]

I hope Stewart's return; signals a return to open discussions that DO look at both sides of an issue.
The divisive "red team/blue team " mentality is UN-American.

[nobodytooimportant]

Jon Stewart is the person with the most sanity in this entire country

[HarveyProductions]

This aged like wine. Love my fellow Jew. Miss ya pal.

[walter]

Jon better get back in line. He needs direction by his old buddy Cobert. He's a great propagandist.

[jerseyshorethrifters]

Jon Steward is one the greatest American patriots ever!

[stevenrodriguez]

Universal Healthcare in the USA, Jon ✊

[ChristinaKook]

Don’t watch Stewart. He doesn’t seem to appreciate the magnitude of the moment.

[jamesmasters]

Oh no! Did a late night show poke fun at a president? Never thought id see the day.
Its honest, accurate and funny. We will stop trump, but we dont have to like Biden as a candidate or a leader.

[chadwindham]

the daily show and the hollywood reporter just need to go away. both are totally irrelevant

[JM-wfto]

I by no means like tucker carlson, but there is not a reporter on the planet that would ask "the hard questions" of vlarimir putin IN RUSSIA. Which, the point may be dont give him a stage then. I think there is value in allowing him to spew his rehtoric for everyone to hear.. learning why your enemy acts a certain eay is never a bad thing and if ee want to keep the american people cognizant of the threat that is Putin's Russia, we oughtta let the citizens understand who he is.
