    Every time I see a link to something about Jon stewart, it reminds me of the the Daily Show episode where he interviewed President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan.

    Musharraf led a military coup that brought him to power in 2001. His government was well known for its civil rights violations (not that many of his predecessors or successors were much better).

    Stewart’s interview was so obsequious, and his questions so softball, it was like watching a Fox News host interview Trump.
