I understand that Noah is meeting the impossible heights of Stewart's All Time Best years.

But where else am I going to go for a funny, informative, left-of-center take on headlines? Young Turks is way too liberal and sanctimonious for my personal tastes.

it's not just that stewart had 18 years to get his shtick down to a science, it's that he also had some amazing correspondents during his run. noah still has klepper and williams and minhaj from the old show, but i wouldn't have ranked them in the top 10 of all correspondents over stewart's entire run, and now as the tenured correspondents they feel luke-warm at best. the other three people that joined with noah haven't hit on a character or really delivered a piece that cemented them as super talented and funny.

i think the biggest change overall is that jon had some seriously talented correspondents to back him up if his writers were having an off day (carrell and colbert, just to name two), whereas noah basically has to carry the entire show on his merit alone.

I know it's actually counterproductive and they'll just crawl home when they realize no one gives a poo poo about how hard they're flipping off daddy with this totally intense idiocy, but I'm really wanting big daddy "governmental overreach" to come give them a reason to cry. All these Bundys are just really annoying with being able to point their guns and rattle off treasonous tripe with impunity while that National Guard rolls in with tanks and poo poo to Ferguson and Baltimore.

it's the ultimate troll.

you're a bunch of mostly unarmed protesters staging demonstrations about real things that effect your community? here comes the jack-booted thugs you motherfuckers.

you're a group of well armed nut-jobs spoiling for a fight in some mostly desolate rural area? lol yeah right like the government is going to roll up and give you something to shoot at, in your dreams bro.
