Who cares what he says? He's not a political commentator!

Oh that is right, the President who spoon fed him talking points!

I don't have an issue with this. Every administration tries to influence public opinion. I

They do it.

Current administration holds (or held) numerous "media sessions" with sympathetic outlets where they would give them talking points and various other marching orders.

Is what it is.

As Nas alluded to, this is nothing. All administrations do the same thing with legitimate news outlets, just as the Cubs do with Dan Bernstein.

I don't think it is anything, except another example of how stupid it is to give him a pass because "he's just a comedian".

I don't think it's a big deal that they try to get Stewart to carry their message. I do think it's a big deal that they take his advice. He is just a comedian. If I want a comedian running the country I'll vote for Donald Trump.
