Liberal comic TV hosts call out Dems, media

Liberal comic television hosts called out Democrats for their hypocrisy and the media for fawning over Vice President Kamala Harris.

Jon Stewart, host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, criticized the Democratic National Convention for having "union leaders and CEOs," Fox News reported.

"They had a guy yelling, 'Screw the billionaires!' followed immediately by a very happy billionaire," Stewart said next to a picture of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and billionaire Gov. J.B. Pritzker, D-Ill.

Stewart joked that with Democrats, "it's all okay if it’s our billionaire. I don’t like billionaires, but he’s all right."

Bill Maher, host of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, called out the media for "gushing" over Harris, Fox News reported.

During a sitdown with CNN, Maher told anchor Kaitlan Collins, "I'm a big rooter for CNN, but that tells you a lot, doesn't it?"

"CNN, in my view, should be the place where both sides can watch. How do you think you're doing with that?" Maher added.

"CNN is the place where both sides can watch. My show is evidence of that," Collins fired back, citing frequent appearances on her show by "lawmakers from both parties."

"I'm talking about the people on CNN," Maher clarified when pivoting to CNN's coverage of Harris's DNC speech.

"It wasn't until 11:23 till the one conservative guy. What's his name?" Maher asked.

Collins identified "the one conservative guy" as Scott Jennings.

"Lonely Scott I call him," Maher joked. "From 8:09 to 8:23 (PT), they were just gushing about how great a speech it was. And I think she did fine. I didn't think it was as good as they were making it up to be."

"But if I'm a conservative in America and I'm watching CNN just for the straight middle of the road, that's what I hear for 15 minutes. It's great. And then Lonely Scott," Maher said.

"It does look like tokenism. It's kind of like the same as 'The View.' It's like it's almost better to have nobody there like MSNBC," Maher added.
