@leecamp - thanks for reply.

I was introduced to Stewart back in 2007-2008 and like you said what he did was important and within the scope of a comedy central show , did shift the focus towards the right direction.

Having said that , looking back after 10 years maybe he could have been bit more critical of Obama , criticize him from left and not let the Overton window slip away. Example of that is Obamacare , he had him on the show and could have atleast pushed him for a single payer position rather the discussion was geared towards the website issues/republicans pushback etc.

As of now , I had hopes for Colbert but he has gone in a complete pro establishment position and seems to be only interested in maintaining a semblance of balance towards the Bernie wing.

You should post the link to Chris Hedges piece as a separate post , I am sure people will appreciate the same.
