The
Drudge Report is reporting that Daily Show Host Jon Stewart has been experiencing "audience erosion". This
coming after Jon Stewart had publicly endorsed Jon Kerry. The Drudge Report is claiming that viewership of The Daily Show is down 7% despite a media blitz by the show's ultra-liberal host, Jon Stewart.
A
transcript on the Drudge Report from a recent exchange between Stewart and CNN's Crossfire Host Tucker Carlson seems to indicate that Stewart believes journalists have a "responsibility to the public discourse". This responsibility, as far as Jon Stewart is concerned, seems to be to put as liberal as possible a slant and spin when presenting current events. This we can garner from the fact that all of Stewart's humor on the Daily Show makes conservatism the butt of the jokes.
I hope, for Jon Stewarts sake, the Daily Show audience continues to plummet. Let that no talent hack find work in the comedy circuit for a while or just go to Hollywood and cry on the shoulders of his bleeding-heart, ultra-liberal friends.
