Jon Stewart is coming to the defense of fellow podcaster Joe Rogan over the uproar surrounding “misinformation” about vaccines that has prompted calls for Spotify to sever ties with its $100 million star.

I think Stewart has always been a free speech guy. He’s definitely a lefty, but he’s not a raving lunatic like some of them are.

Stewart, you are a hack. There's no need to go back 19 years, the NYT pushes disinformation every day. Russian collusion, Burisma/Biden, the "insurrection", Russian bounties on US troops, BLM, Hunter's laptop, Kavanaugh accusers, etc ad infinitum. If you want to go back, then sure, the NYT has been lying and pushing enemy propaganda for a very long time. Heck, in the 1930's they sympathized with the Nazis, and published Nazi lies and propaganda. I guess they have always loved socialists. Stewart only went back so far so he could use an example that benefited a republican President. Virtually all of their lies, omissions and misrepresentations benefit the left, and occasionally neo-cons.
