I thought it was funny.
I too noticed that after that last commercial break, Stewart was a little less conspicuous. I don't know if I'd attribute that to him being bullied. I don't know the guy from Adam, but he did call Tucker Carlson a dick on national television. I wouldn't think he'd shirk from some suit threatening him from a different network. Maybe he was just tired of trying to shout over Carlson.
The Daily Show is what it is. It's funny. It's a slanted sideways look at the absurd events of the day. It's not meant to be taken seriously, but it is, I believe, intended to get the public talking and independently thinking.
CNN is supposed to be a globally respected news organization. "More people get their news from CNN...." blah blah blah. Instead of the continuous repetition of talking points and the endless regurgitation of non-issues, they should be discussing the election and world events. They should position themselves to helping the general public to understand and inform, not whipping them up into a frenzy and giving them a target.
You may not agree with Jon Stewart. You may not like Jon Stewart, but you have to respect Jon Stewart for coming into a hostile situation and holding his own.
