I agree with you. I am ashamed to admit that I watched Colbert and Stewart religiously. I loved them both. I have since been red pilled and it creeps me the fuck out how obviously bought Colbert and Oliver are. I am not surprised by anything anymore, so Colbert's connections come as so no shock after watching his vomit inducing performance on his new "earned" show. I know I am going against the majority here, but I think Stewart is a good guy who actually believes/believed anything he preached. I think he got out because he finally figured out some fucked up shit was going down, that it was going to get worse, and because he did not want to be forced to spout opinions that were not his/not overall for what he feels is the greater good. His commentary on Ron Paul and the relationship between to the 2 continues to stick out to me. Jon Stewart always had good intentions whether we agree with him or not. He was being played like the rest of us are continuously being played and finally realized it. This is my opinion after watching him for years and years. Again, I understand and respect that most here would not agree.
