Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Big fan of Stewart! So excited for this.
But can't stop thinking of the story that Hasan Minhaj was pushed out of this role. He was supposed to be at the front of this race, then The New Yorker does an "expose" in him, he gets dropped from the race and he makes a video where he has receipts against the New Yorker piece. So some people claim that it was done just to get him dropped from the race.
They did an expose of him?
Haha, meant to say exposé
Oh, my question was less about the term itself, but the background and what happened in relation to Hasan. I ended up searching for it and found it.
I liked his own show's format, I don't know if he'd be a great replacement for Jon/Noah. I really wish all this talent was given their own shows and given time to let them grow. The Jon Stewart Daily Show Cinematic Universe, if you will. You might say Colbert and Oliver are part of it, just on other networks. But Comedy Central should give Klepper, Minhaj, Bee, Roy Wood Jr., etc., their own shows (again, in some cases) and let them go, even if they are not raging successes at the very outset. Maybe even do crossover shows, etc...does that mean Comedy Central needs maybe to spin off an entire channel for fake news shows? Yes.
Call it faux news, then spend about 10 minutes talking about it before getting sued
