This isn't about a victory lap, or Trump, or Fauci or the lab leak, or a pangolin's asshole. This is about how corporate media and big teach decide which information is considered crazy and a conspiracy right up until they don't anymore. This is about power. Not victory laps.
8 months ago this clip would be banned on YouTube and Facebook. Twitter would flag it for rampant misinformation. People were banned over this. Now, and with no new information, it's acceptable, and not a single journalist in mainstream media is asking why that is.
The revelation in that segment with Stewart isn't Jon Stewart. It's Stephen Colbert. Colbert is an avatar of a biased media bubble who was rendered speechless except for quips about a Wisconsin senator.
Imagine what happens when Stephen Colbert finds out Hunter Biden's laptop is real.
When Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube stop banning selective information because corporate media shames them into doing so, I'll take that victory lap.
Anthony Fauci has lied to the public several times. He's admitted to it and has tried to hide behind the "Gosh gee shucks" act. To state this to someone like Colbert or media is verboten. This is another soft point Stewart was getting at.

Picture what the media would be doing with the previous administration if the president or VP said something that a world leader completely contradicted openly.
It would be the only topic in the briefing room for a week. Front page Wash Post.
Jake Tapper would be removing his glasses and preaching about lying on a world stage. The NY Times OpEd Board would be pontificating about lying to our allies and discrediting the country.
Psaki said she inherited this problem - So she lied - she's a lying liar to the WH press which I am told is discrediting. Why is she a lying liar? She lying lied to you.
I mean it's a batshit crazy idea but if you're going to entertain these fantasies for resistance clicks on your website, perhaps understand how it actually works.
And it's far more realistic that GOP gains the House back in 2022 and Trump just lobbies the party "Kevin you owe me etc etc"
Imagine thinking Democrats are going to take your advice after watching your entire career get torn apart by cartoons on late night tv.
I'd argue David Brock did more cocaine but considering these guys were all re-enacting the dinner party scene from JFK every night with John Weaver, who is to know?
10 years ago if you asked me which is more believable, alien life visiting us from outer space or the weird 80's media tycoon being elected president... exactly.
