Depends on the media to be honest, part of the problem with the likes of CNN is they're happy to talk about Biden's age without actually showing any context about how Trump has the same issues only worse. The Daily Show however didn't seem to have a problem with making that clear distinction yet the Daily Show provokes multiple threads here complaining about it and yet we never really see threads made when CNN make similar claims.

This feels like a victim mentality. People are complaining about the Stewart clip because

1. Stewart is seen as different from mainstream media, thus people have higher expectations of what his content should deliver.

2. Stewart fans or politically apathetic observers are the ones creating topics totally about how amazing the segment was. As far as I'm aware, no one is creating topics to complain about it.

I honestly think the concern on here and elsewhere complaining about Jon Stewart are seriously overblown, he's said nothing that should be controversial and contrary to what I see on this board and elsewhere? He did not partake in "same thing both sides" nonsense.

It very much read as 'same things both sides' to me. His specific comment about how it's not the end of the world for which candidate wins seems to completely disregard how his presidency ended up with three young conservative justices who have managed to complete change the future prospect of so many Americans.
