I use to worry about who was gonna take up the slack in holding Fox’s feet to the fire with Stewart gone. But I’m sensing that Fox’s days of massive influence are dwindling, and that Stewart has done his job in exposing their hackery for good. Thanks, Jon Stewart. I hope you get a Medal of Freedom, or something, for your efforts.

“So, adios, motherfuckers,” Stewart said as he lit the set on fire.
Se, Adios, Jon–don’t be a stranger!

I’ll have the memo sub with lettuce, tomato, mayo; double the cow dung, and hold the facts, please.
I hope. With their viewership facing early-onset dementia or already deceased, along with an increasing cultural awareness of how much of a joke Fox News actually is, I’m also somewhat optimistic. I think they’ll be around for a long time, but my hope is they give up the pure propaganda and moderate at some point - and that’ll only happen when more people realize they’ve been lied to repeatedly for years and stop watching. I have conservative friends I’ve managed to sway a bit when I point out where the Benghazi bullshit went, or when I ask them where the death panels are. A lot of holding their feet to the fire is on us.

What will Fox News do without Stewart’s publicity? I depended on the Daily Show to watch Fox because I won’t. I guess I am going to have to rely on the Onion.

I’m gonna miss Jon’s take downs.
Nevertheless I’m depressed he’s not gonna be taking down fox and others when they behave stupidly. He fulfilled a necessary function. Who can take up the slack?
