re: #212 Charles Johnson

Stewart buying into the Wuhan lab leak conspiracy theory really put me in a bad mood.

I was disappointed but not somehow not surprised by this. Every so often, Stewart will either both-sides something, or he’ll get something in his head and then use sarcasm and condescension to shut down the conversation.

For whatever reason, John Cusack and his 9/11 humping come to mind. Really smart guy believes really stupid shit.

From what I read, Colbert seemed caught off-guard by this. For anyone who watched, how hard exactly did Stephen push back? He will call guests out on their bullshit sometimes, but the forcefulness always varies; his refusal to really kick Trump on the birther bullshit when Trump was on LSSC is a prime example.
