re: Re: Dear Jon Stewart [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
I can think a good number of other friends and colleagues who have been mistreated by The Daily Show. There are some rare exceptions for the Right-minded — Bill Kristol's had decent experiences, Rick Santorum remarkably did when his book came out — but Stewart generally winds up trying to make a joke out of your or your issues, or is just downright unfair. The best shows involve some sort of smart give and take. The Daily Show isn't generally conducive to such a thing. You're either in downright hostile territory, or you're pretending to be something you aren't — a comedian. It's just not worth it.
Watch Big Daddy instead.
