Well, I didn't think the women-on-the-staff debacle was a load of crap at all. They could have made it a load of crap by going, "hey, you're right, we have more men than women. We'll take a look at that in the future." But instead they had to be all "But look at how many ASSISTANT blah-blahs are women!" That, for me, was the irritating part.
And I don't think the Kim thing really hit the internet at all; I just remember watching it on TV and being unable to believe what I was seeing, and after that I just drifted away. That was personal, the internet didn't latch on to it. It was 1-2 years ago at this point.
I am not saying that John Stewart does not do a great job, and call out a lot of hypocrites and liars in a very satisfying way, and put on a good show. But he shows his privilege a lot, and nobody on that show ever seems interested in addressing their mistakes.
