Jon Stewart

is walk through why what he was saying was incorrect because our news has taken on the circadian rhythms of social media it all goes there's very little room to breathe

I think certainly the algorithm and the bifurcation of the media has made it more polarized.

And certainly, look, the whole point of Fox News was Roger Ailes worked for Nixon.

And Roger Ailes is the one who founded Fox News, along with Rupert Murdoch, who, by the way, thank you for him.

He's done such good work here in America.

We really appreciate it.

He's an Australian, but he made his bones...

I think that's probably correct.

I would say without Murdoch, there's probably no George Bush.

But that being said...

I think what they did is intentional.

They intentionally created those things to buffer their politicians from that sense of accountability because they viewed that accountability as merely left-wing posturing and left-wing virtue signaling and left-wing.

And so now you see that Fox News is not right enough.

for Trump.

That's the thing about Trump is he's insatiable.

But let me ask you, you had Newsom on.

So here, Newsom is obviously, he's one of the few politicians that can compete in an attention economy in the way that Trump does.

He's created this sort of trolling persona.

What was your sense of him?

The way that I process him is like, man, that dude is thirsty.
