Jon Stewart returned to The Daily Show on Monday for the first time since former President Donald Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts.
Stewart was dug into both sides of the media, first mocking liberal news media by saying the conviction “was an exercise in concealed and controlled glee” and that the party’s next hurdle would be figuring out how to “exploit the moment politically without giving the impression that this was the plan all along.”
The host also lambasted the conservative pundits over their claims that the justice system targets Republicans while protects Democrats.
Towards the end of his monologue, the host said, “Our political leaders are not in court, they are here on TV, where the news media has decided that there’s really no such thing as reality,” before playing footage of various media outlets insisting that Americans “live in two different realities” when it came to politics.
Disagreeing, Stewart replied, “No, you’re thinking of the multiverse.” He continued, “We are all living in one reality, and it can be the news media’s job to litigate the parameters of said reality. What the courts do really well is look backward and reconstruct the realities of what happened. The news media could do the same, but what they do instead is look forward and wildly speculate on the future.
