When Mehdi Hasan sat down with Jon Stewart last month, the roles were reversed. This time, the Emmy-winning host of The Daily Show was the one asking the questions — about corporate media, Gaza, Do…
Stewart dropped a line that made Hasan pause: maybe Democrats just need “the right reality host” to take over the party.

Stewart laughed. He didn’t deny it. He didn’t wave it off. He just leaned back, smiled, and chuckled.
