People mad at Jon Stewart missed a hell of an interview [View all]

You can always tell when reactions are based on clips or social media commentary or just assumptions, because last night's Daily Show was clearly strongly anti-Trump and anti-Republican in flavor. Some people are sensitive to criticism - any and all. Nothing to be done for that.

But for those who aren't, the last two thirds of Jon Stewart's interview with the Economist's Zanny Minton Beddoes was fantastic. Below is the link to the full episode on Comedy Central. To save time (and delicate sensibilities) let me just say they start the global conversation at:

33:00 It's about a ten minute discussion after that point.

They discuss the global Right's attempts to create a New World Order, Trump's role in that, threats to NATO, and how Republicans are enabling or promoting it. One of the best conversations I've seen on television lately. Best of all, they just talk about it. They don't dumb it down, figure their audience isn't intelligent enough to grasp it, or tell you want to think. They just discuss it.

People grousing about Stewart are missing out.

Don't let the ever-squeaks drown the conversation. This was a good one.
