Even Jon Stewart last night started out with a big hoo-hah about L.A. in flames. Lots of pics of burning cars. Very disappointing. Even if he was joking, repeating the burning cars pics puts emphasis on them. He should have showed peaceful people with signs, to contrast with Drumpf's "incendiary" ranting.

Using Waymo self-driving taxis as car bomb delivery systems was nearly Ukraine-level brilliant, though. Looks like they discovered a new use for Teslas.

I hadn't realized that's what was going on with the Waymos. Stewart pretty much said that the protesters were calling Waymos so they could torch them.

"Even" Jon Stewart? He's been a bothsider a long time now.

I hadnтАЩt seen him that way. I thought he cracked on Biden too much, and I havenтАЩt always like his approach since he came back as host, but his guests have seemed to be liberals. Even the other night, he came down against the orange blob, after the first couple minutes. His initial framing was just all wrong. A caveat, however: I haven't followed him closely over the years.

He's been disappointing a lot, since he came back to the show. Some of his bits are just plain asisine, IMO. Last night's sketch with Jordan Klepper was embarrassingly stupid.
