Jon Stewart Dresses Down the Media: Stop Your Whining and Hold Trump Accountable

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/02/28/jon-stewart-dresses-down-the-media-stop-your-whining-and-hold-trump-accountable.html
Jon Stewart is clearly starting to miss his role as America’s satirist-in-chief.

For the second time since President Donald Trump took office, the former Daily Show host stopped by his friend Stephen Colbert’s Late Show Monday night. And this time, instead of announcing some new executive orders as Trump, he emerged from underneath Colbert’s desk to rail against Trump’s war on the free press.

After a week in which the Trump White House blocked reporters from CNN, The New York Times and other mainstream outlets from attending a briefing with Press Secretary Sean Spicer, and the president himself repeated his claim that the media is the “enemy of the American people” at CPAC, Stewart couldn’t take it anymore.

“I mean, this whole thing just makes me so crazy!” he exclaimed as the audience applauded his “surprise” appearance. Stewart joked that he tunneled his way into the theater from his new farm in New Jersey. Asked if he misses his old gig, he told Colbert, “Yes, I miss it! I spend the whole day yelling about Trump to the animals.”

Who didn't want to hold Trump voters responsible - and made excuses for segments of them. uh - - stop talking John. It's too late.
