Jon Stewart was the most respected name in news for more than a decade. He never wanted it, and tried to deny it. "I'm just a dumb comedian hur dur." Nevertheless it was true. An entire generation of voters grew up watching that show, and they believed in him.

His return put more eyes on The Daily Show than it had in many years. Millions tuned in to see what he'd say. 10s of Millions more watched the clips online. So what did he do with that power? Make a "same thing both sides" argument that equated Trump and Biden (though he dumped on Biden more). His message was no matter who wins, we all lose.

We will never know how many people saw that segment and decided to protest vote, or not to vote at all, but i guarantee it's not 0. I lost all respect for him that day, and I have no interest in what he's saying now.
