Jon Stewart told Roger Ailes of FOX News that he is “an atheist and a socialist” who “would have voted for Norman Thomas.” As a self-described godless communist, Jon Stewart is a prototype of your typical member of the “mainstream” media. Had he worked for the New York Times in the 1920s, he undoubtedly would have been an apologist for Stalin as well, as that newspaper was.
(Lew writes to say that Stewart probably would NOT have voted for Norman Thomas, despite his proclamation to Roger Ailes, since Thomas was board member of the America First Committee and an opponent of the war in particular and of foreign policy interventionism in general).
