We’re all saddened to hear that Jon Stewart, the longtime host of The Daily Show, will be leaving the program later this year. Stewart revolutionized media news coverage by lampooning the major news networks, all the while retaining integrity and composure. Despite being on Comedy Central, Stewart provided the voice of reason in an era bogged down by hypocrisy, and he will be missed.
