I mean what kind of moron would expose them to that kind of media coverage knowing it would be that kind of media coverage?
Do you really think all those people go on thinking he’s gonna softball? No. Do you think they think they’re smarter or better? A few, maybe, but not most.
And all of those interviewees had media teams that set it up- who know all of this
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but sometimes it’s better to take the lumps and move on; and Stewart allows them to do that without being totally bloodthirsty.
Yes he’s “brutal”, but he’s also fair. He lets them respond. Gives airtime to their message while asking questions that are gonna get asked anyway.
Which is a damn sight more than what most media would be if there was no interview.
Watch the Gensler interview. Do you really think a the head of a federal chairperson doesn’t have access to a better space than an emptied-out-cubical-land? That’s all imaging to convince you of Gary’s narrative.
And Stewart has to more or less go with it; because otherwise the next person isn’t going to agree to sit down to an interview with him. They’ll go get someone else.
Do you really think all those people go on thinking he’s gonna softball? No.
Ask Tucker Carlson and Bill O’Reilly how they feel about that. Barrack Obama and John Kerry both had their own “give me a break here” moments with Stewart during their respective campaigns.
Recondition their image, yes.

I mean did you see when he went on Tucker Carlson’s show and he eviscerated Tucker so badly that fox fired him? That isnt how a sock puppet operates.
Way to miss the fucking point.
