Jon Stewart Says the Media Is Making Americans Think ‘We’re Plunging to Our Deaths’ After Trump’s Win: It’s Not Helpful to ‘Get Us S—ing Our Pants This Much’
Jon Stewart says the media is getting Americans "shitting our pants" over Donald Trump's second term when we have no idea yet what it will look like.
Jon Stewart used the latest episode of his “Weekly Show” podcast(via The Daily Beast) to criticize the media for getting Americans scared about Donald Trump ‘s second term as president before it’s even begun. During Trump’s hush money trial in April, Stewart slammed the media for reporting on all the “mundane bullshit” from the trial as if it was “earth shattering news.” He encouraged the press at the time to “limit the coverage to the issues at hand and try not to create an all-encompassing spectacle of the most banal of details.” At the end of October following Trump’s controversial rally at Madison Square Garden, which featured comedian Tony Hinchcliffe making a divisive joke about Puerto Rico, Stewart told the media not to get carried away by focusing on the joke so much and thus ignoring Trump himself.
