I wish half of these elected officials got as many details right as Stewart does. What he did for 9/11 responders alone makes him golden to me. He did that “I’m a comedian” thing to point out that the actual media is often to failing to report as well as he and his staff did and he’s not wrong. On any given day, you were better off watching Stewart for news than CNN or Fox. His show on Apple TV, especially the stock market episode, is priceless.
