Jon Stewart: Media ‘Squandered’ Trust with Trump-Russia Collusion ‘Hype Machine’

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2026/03/02/jon-stewart-media-squandered-trust-with-trump-russia-collusion-hype-machine/

Quote
Stewart revealed his thoughts about the issue on his podcast The Weekly Show when speaking with MS NOW host Ali Velshi.

“I think within the media, it gets back to — you talked about it earlier — you said, ‘It’s about what you earn with your audience.’ And I wonder if, in media, they’ve squandered some of that based on those incentives,” said Steward.

“So, for instance, we’ll go back to, like — there’s always that rush of, like, ‘Now we’ve got Trump, and the Mueller report, and it’s Mueller time,’ and all these things,” he continued. “And the hype machine that generates that, whether it was for action in Iraq or accountability through these special counsels — that it raises an expectation of its audience.”

Velshi called that very hype machine a “dopamine rush” that ultimately led to nothing. Stewart likened it to a hamster wheel that ultimately numbed the audience.

“The more you run on that hamster wheel, or gerbil wheel … I wonder if that begins to numb your audience to consequence. And is that where the trust has been lost? That not only is it about holding to account, but it’s about tempering their expectation,” Stewart said.

I never watched his show, but I have to ask, how much time, how many bits did Stewart do on the Gotcha-Trump hamster wheel? Is he now calling out as a trust-loser what he himself did back in 2017-2019?

The Left Is Petrified That Trump Will Succeed in Iran and Expose Them As Mind-Twisted Frauds

As we have sadly and often shockingly witnessed over the course of the last decade, “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is a deep-seated mental health issue that plagues and often destroys the minds of so many in the Democratic Party, the media, academia, Hollywood, and the left in general. A real illness which can, has, and continues to trigger self-contaminated minds on the left to sacrifice countless innocent human beings, the country and world over, rather than admit that President Donald J. Trump is — or has been — correct about…anything.

We are now dealing with this exponentially menacing mental health issue in real time as we watch the exceptional and heroic Armed Forces of the United States – under the orders of Commander-in-Chief Trump – lay waste to the brutal dictatorship in Iran, which has killed and terrorized hundreds of thousands over the years, including the murder and wounding of thousands of American troops. Again, a self-inflicted mental health issue in which many on the left would literally rather see the monsters ruling Iran continue to brutally subjugate their own people while exporting terrorism around the globe than admit Trump was right to finally take action when so many “leaders” of the past continually kicked the can down the road out of fear of doing the right thing.
...
And that is the ultimate sin for so many on the left. How dare the oppressed praise him for saving them? The greater Left is beyond petrified that the “Trump Doctrine” will not only succeed in Iran but lead to more stability and peace across the Middle East. Please take a moment to wrap your mind around such a twisted and ugly way of thinking. Many on the left would truly rather see the people of Iran continue to suffer under a murderous dictatorship while the greater Middle East is further poisoned by terrorist cells controlled by the regime.

To be sure, some of those most petrified by the prospect of Trump’s success in Iran and the Middle East exist in the Congress of the United States of America. Far-left “do nothing” Members of Congress who for years let Barack Obama and Joe Biden unilaterally do whatever they wanted to around the world now suddenly believe it is their “duty” to stop Trump from crushing a murderous regime while liberating over 90 million in Iran. As what is left of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard “leadership” continues to launch thousands of missiles against the U.S. forces, our assets, and our allies in the region, the likes of Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine and others seek to handcuff President Trump and our courageous troops.

this is probably the location Jen is babbling about:

https://tools.usps.com/locations/home.htm?location=1373399

I hope some worker there was trolling the stupid bitch - she seems to consider herself the gatekeeper to Missoula. From her dummy "journal":

JFC. I did not think my little blue city would have to withstand another visit from a tRump.
But it appears that coke boy jr is coming to Missoula to “speak” at the end of the month. Goddamit. I’m so mad right now.


At the Bernie AOC rally in Missoula MT!
We are at the Adams Center at the Universiry of Montana. The lines to get in wrap through the campus. The place is filling up. Energy is high. People are happy.

My kiddo works at a private aviation company where Bernie and AOC’s jet will arrive. He said the security detail is tight.


Why are Musk, Vance, Homeland Security coming and going
in and out of Missoula freaking Montana? Last weekend, Elon Musk flew into Missoula. He was shuttled up to the Paw’s Up resort for a three hour-ish meeting. His jet shuttled wealthy well connected people in and out all weekend. They also went to the Paws Up. The pilot of his plane spoke with my kiddo and when asked who these people were, the pilot said “I can’t tell you their names but what these people are involved in is on the front page of the paper every day”.


Elmo Mush flew into Missoula, MT today.
Ugh. The tail number on the Gulfstream jet is registered to him as of November 2024. My kiddo works at the FBO where the plane is scheduled to land later today. The pilot has asked for a private parking place for the plane and two limos are arriving from the Paws Up luxury resort north of town. I can't even go out there to flip him off or protest with a sign without outing my kid.


Outing you say?:

In Sanandaj, the IRGC intelligence headquarters and local police command facilities have reportedly been destroyed.

Before-and-after footage shows extensive damage.

In the aftermath, one local resident standing near the rubble of his own neighborhood was heard saying: “Thank you, Israel.”

If PCIntern's list of significant R leaders has MTG on it, it needs correction, not just updating. Does PCIntern's R leadership list include Tucker Carlsen and Candace Owens, too? :rotf:

I wouldn't be surprised. I also suspect that he would rather have Capt. Kangaroo as Secdef as well

We reached that point long ago with your party.

As for the military operations, while the word 'epic' has taken on a bit of an informal tone (like 'awesome'), this operation, as well as the Maduro capture before it, shows that our military's capabilities are no joke.

Well, you can bet the Russians and the Chinese are watching and learning that we do not mess around when we have the right leadership in charge.

When I hear any name (or rather misnomer) that Democrats come up with for their bogus laws, programs, bureaus, or whatever, I laugh.

The "Affordable Care Act" would be the epitome of this: it isn't affordable; its creators don't care about anyone; it's quite an act.

On second thought, does any Caver live in Missoula and work for USPS? And trolled a suspected DU-member?
