Jon Stewart Disses Media Obsessed With Winners, Losers In Gaza Conflict

Jon Stewart

Jon Stewart returned from the holiday break on Monday to criticize the media for obsessing over winners and losers in the bloody conflict between Israel and Hamas.

“You really miss the election, don’t you?” Stewart said. “Is everything about the winners and losers and the horse race? Even intractable bloodshed is just another chance to check in on who’s incrementally up or incrementally down. And by the way, winners or losers in what game? ‘Sandy Land’?”
