Well crafted, but ultimately one-sided pundits
I really enjoy Jon and his talented crew, but I’d like to see a more balanced approach to their punditry. It feels like they use humor as a veil for typical DNC talking points. I really respected Jon when he challenged the idea that Covid came from a lab, and was hoping for more balanced skepticism for narratives fed to us not just from the unhinged right, but also the corporatist left. For example, the recent episode featuring Barbara McQuade dives into misinformation vs disinformation, which is a fascinating topic. Unfortunately Michael Kosta doesn’t challenge her when she posits that the right is the source of all dis/misinformation. Yes, the right pushes election stealing narratives and many Russian talking points, but the left gives political shelter to antisemites on elite campuses, and BLM has posted support for October 7th on Instagram. The Biden administration strong armed Facebook from sharing legitimate, Stanford studies on the efficacy of shutdowns. The Biden administration lied about the President’s fitness for a very long time—which to Jon’s credit he challenged. But The Daily Show is not the Onion, and has a responsibility to be more than pundits for the left.
