Camp had a team of top investigative journalists reporting on all kinds of things you would never know of anyplace else. The Owners had to try to destroy Camp. They won't do that to Jon Stewart because he colors inside the lines they allow.

I don't know Jon Stewart, but Ian Hislop is your typical 'liberal'. He complains about the right wing, but when the UK had a chance of a centre-left government under Corbyn (name a policy that wasn't centre-left), Hislop and everyone like him (including most of the Labour MPs) strove to portray Corbyn as an extremist/a communist/an anti-Semite/to blame for Brexit/a terrorist sympathiser/a far-left lunatic/take your pick. No doubt Hislop is a fan of Starmer - regardless of what he says - as Starmer is offering the same neo-liberal policies as the Tories, but with slightly less (and only slightly) of the racist, far-right posturing. Hislop likes to present himself as someone who critiques the elite, but he is very much one of them, and is an enemy of change (probably because he likes his cosy lifestyle).

He can and will engage, knowledgeably on a mind boggling number of topics. And when his position is one he's passionate about he absolutely will use scathing mockery and polemicist rhetoric to expose his target's corruption, while increasing the audience's enjoyment of the brutal flaying he's engaged in.

Don't forget that most people in the end do not vote for extremists here in Europe. The Italian PM, who was to be feared ahead of the election result, didn't cause any notable crisis, but adjusted to the norm to have talks with your partner countries on all kind of issues. French elections feared the win of Le Pen, neither she or her father ever got into power. They are there to get the 20, 30 percent of angry people who listen to empty promises of going back in time when life 'was great for all'. Same in the Netherlands, where I live, people voted on a party right of Geert Wilders who was very right (and left on certain issues) years ago but not extreme enough. That party people voted for (Forum voor Democratie) has since been obliterated in the polls. The leader turned out a bigger nut than anyone would think. He's following the US book for right wing extremists with of course siding with Putin, calling it the best day of his life when the invasion happened, tries to make trans issues a thing in our politics while no-one cares what someone else does. Same with abortion, they take that from the US, while it hasn't been an issue for Christian parties for decades. They don't even try to bring it up, knowing the fast majority of people are sane and think it's a private issue. It's a useless battle and they are too stupid to see that. Which is good, they should stay in the fringes. Life has challenges enough aside from dealing with idiots in power. Then you have right wing leaders in lets say Hungary, but they are kept in check by the EU and their billions they can withold him. That's why the Union was founded, to keep things in check.

John, you hit the nail on the head. This all started over 40 years ago. We all were preoccupied, they distracted us, we TRUSTED them! We were complacent in our trust. And when anyone tried to call them out to us, we called them conspiracy nut jobs. Poor uncle Jim, bringing it up at the Thanksgiving table. We all just smiled and turned away. John and Ian. A master class in philosophy, intelligence, and fascinating conversation.

I don't know Jon Stewart, but Ian Hislop is your typical 'liberal'. He complains about the right wing, but when the UK had a chance of a centre-left government under Corbyn (name a policy that wasn't centre-left), Hislop and everyone like him (including most of the Labour MPs) strove to portray Corbyn as an extremist/a communist/an anti-Semite/to blame for Brexit/a terrorist sympathiser/a far-left lunatic/take your pick. No doubt Hislop is a fan of Starmer - regardless of what he says - as Starmer is offering the same neo-liberal policies as the Tories, but with slightly less (and only slightly) of the racist, far-right posturing. Hislop likes to present himself as someone who critiques the elite, but he is very much one of them, and is an enemy of change (probably because he likes his cosy lifestyle).

I think had he been standing against a competent leader from a more mainstream version of Labour then it would've been a far closer election than it turned out.
