Not sure exactly how I feel about the new show (Apple TV, got dammit). But they are producing a ton of content.

His takedown of the mainstream media (think CNN/MSNBC/etal) regarding teh Mueller investigation here is pretty good. I would dare say very balanced as well.

And a fine midfielder at William & Mary - one of the prettiest campuses in the country. The pride of the Tribe. Colonial Williamsburg is a great trip

There was a major underestimating of the influence Trump had over Barr and Barr's ability to downplay the findings. There was a lot of wishful thinking that the GOP senators would actually care about the facts rather than aid Trump in sweeping it under the rug.

That situation illustrated how partisan the government has become and how political party is more important than the country.

and how the politically powerful don't have to do anything they don't want to do, and are totally insulated from the law.

This is just the Daily Show with Stewart casually dressed and able to go more in depth and drop f-bombs. I've seen previous episodes and they were mainly just interviews via Zoom. This is the first one I've seen with a live audience.

Might be going the route of This Week with John Oliver, picking a "main" topic to go off on.

I like Jo(h)n Stewart.
 
I find it interesting that late night talk show folks and comedians now find themselves trying to put some of the toothpaste they helped squish out back in the tube

A little social justice goes too far sometimes.

Tell a joke about Trump - big ratings.
Tell a joke about others - big trouble.

Do you sometimes drive around and forget where you're going ?
