Nicholas Fondacaro joins the show to discuss how Stewart mocked the media's arrogance, as "they stand ready betwixt America and peril, a bulwark to creeping fascism." The comedian played a snippet of the Washington Post ad narrated by Tom Hanks, and then made masturbating hand gestures.
While Stewart first attacked Fox as a shameless media arm of the conservatives, he looked back on all the "worse than Watergate" Mueller hype and employed several video-clip packages to ridiculed the idea that this deserved to be the top story that crowded out all the other news. The long buildup to a "jailgasm" ended with a whimper, not a bang.
