I agree with you I think we are saying the same thing but Jon didn’t highlight the threat that Trump was and the election cycle for primary candidates was in 2015. I was there I remember Jon along with everyone else in the media. I want to be clear I don’t think Jon went out of his way to do this he was just commenting on the media landscape at the time but he also got distracted by the clown show like everyone else I mean why wouldn’t he trumps bullshit was a comedy gold.

I think if he could do it all over again he would have sounded the alarm bells. But it also sucks that journalism got so bad at that and even worse today that it really feels that we had to get our news from comedians in the first place because all the other journalists are covering the next extreme tweat or what people are posting on social media as news. with all their dumb touch screens gimmicks.
