Jon Stewart Mocks Media Coverage of Trump’s Hush Money Trial

Jon Stewart, in his return to political satire, skewered the media’s excessive coverage of Trump’s hush money trial. Stewart called out cable news channels for dedicating hours to minute details, such as Trump’s body language and a courtroom sketch artist’s struggles to draw his eyes. He also mocked a dismissed juror for resembling him. Stewart’s rant was interrupted by comedian Jessica Williams, who defended the media’s coverage for its entertainment value. Williams argued that the trial was an opportunity to cover the scandalous details of a former president’s involvement with a porn star and potential prison time.
