Re: [Marxism] Hollywood bourgeoisie cool to Jon Stewart

["Eli Stephens" <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Louis gives us an MSNBC article which describes Jon Stewart as "An admitted
and unashamed progressive himself."

I don't know where the "admitted" comes from; I've never heard or seen any
such admission. And regardless of what Stewart may think about himself,
watching him fawn over the likes of Henry Kissinger or Madeleine Albright,
any progressive would recognize that is isn't true.

Here are a sampling of posts I've written over the years about Stewart:

There are many more. And, of course, there was Stewart's performance on
Oscar night itself, thoughtfully providing viewers with a recitation of
"conventional" (i.e., right-wing) "wisdom" [sic] about how "out of touch"
Hollywood is with "American values."
