John Stewart still runs that show as producer. My theory is that he exited when they stuck the CFR on his ass. He didn't want to be a shill or go through yet another election cycle of stupid fuckery. That is how we lost Colbert and Stewart. It would be really bad for The Daily Show to do a hit job on Pizzagate after looking into it (I know Colbert did, but that is before we had easy to digest info).

I am doing a survey of my extended family (hey happy new year!) and half have never heard of it. The other half had been convinced not to look into it. People from both groups (who ask follow-up question, and they are few) lose their jaw if I explain it to them. The initial reaction to pizzagate is utter terror (and I practiced explaining it carefully and without being gross). So if major news networks mention pizzagate at this point their are actually pointing people to pizzagate.com. It is unlikely that people will ever be able to laugh at such a topic, especially during Human Trafficking month!
