That is some interesting information though. Although I can't justify hating a guy because his brother's got a job that we all dislike.

There is nothing wrong with having a brother leading the NYSE.
BUT, isn't there something wrong with Jon pretending to be anti-rich on TV every night, slanting his news opinions to be very anti-rich; and yet at the same time his brother RUNS wall street (to an extent).
Jon Stewart always bad mouths the Wall Street Tycoons to make us feel cozy inside, but the reality is that it's all a farce, his own brother is the COO.

Thanks for the reply.
We don't hate Jon Stewart. I don't at least.

It just shows how manipulative he has been.
Sure he shows more "real" news than all of the other stations do, true! And it's a "fake" news show, on Comedy Central!
It's becoming obvious we are being hoodwinked here. That they are using the Daily Show to fool us into accepting certain ideas or whatever, through laughter, that many of us may actually not accept otherwise. Among other potential reasons or uses, the Daily Show is becoming more and more to look like a well produced Psychological Operation on us.
I mean come on. Obama was on the Daily Show the other day. You gotta be kidding me.
Something isn't right here. Something Stinks.
And I know you are smelling it too!
Thanks for the response!

A.) He's not the original host of the show. He's the replacement host... And the format is EXACTLY the same as it was BEFORE Stewart took over, including the 'moment of zen' at the end...
D.) Your tinfoil hat is apparently on way too tight... Just keep moving, cuz there's NOTHING to see here...

So your big expose on the "truth" about Jon Stewart is basically a copy of his wikipedia entry?
It's hardly a secret is it?

I don't quite picture him being the 'spokes person' of Foundation X, but I could see perhaps someone who does represent perhaps using him as a conduit to his brother, for yet another added layer of removal.
The William and Mary background becomes more interesting based on what fraternity he did or did not belong to.
All Fraternities are in essence Secret Societies.
Ones like the Skull and Bones 322, and the Scroll and Key are of course a bit more secretive, but even being a Phi Beta Capa has it's unique priveleges and opens doors.
Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz; November 28, 1962)[6] is an American political satirist, writer, television host, actor, media critic and stand-up comedian. He is widely known as host of The Daily Show, a satirical news program that airs on Comedy Central.
Can I reserve a professional name? Is the name I want already taken?
SAG makes every effort to avoid enrolling members with the same name or with very similar names. Because the list of available names changes daily, it would not be helpful to you for us to research your name choices before you join. During your joining appointment, we will ask you for three alternate name choices, in case your first choice is not available. A final name-availability check is done at the time the initiation fee is paid. Only then can an applicant be assured of having a particular professional name. .
