Jon Stewart started off The Daily Show by calling out news networks for their reaction to the video Donald Trump shared that showed an A.I. image of Joe Biden tied up.
“As many of you are aware, the news has been pretty bleak recently — the past 200-300 years,” Stewart said. “But this weekend, there was one story that was so disturbing, so dark, even the news couldn’t handle it.”
Stewart then cut to a variety of clips from news networks warning viewers they would not be able to show the video and image because it was too “disturbing.”
“I didn’t get to see it at all,” Stewart joked.
He continued, “That’s gotta be devastating. News channels show images from Ukraine, from Gaza, from natural disasters. They get through them dispassionately. I can’t imagine how devastating this footage must be.”
Stewart then cut to a report that showed the video Trump shared on the Truth Social platform that featured an image of Biden hogtied on the back of a pickup truck.
“That’s what was so disturbing and dehumanizing, you wouldn’t show it on television and an airbrushed Biden decal on the back of a truck?” Stewart questioned. “Are you the same networks that show reruns of 9-11 every year? I mean, I don’t think it’s great that Trump is posting things like this.”
To the people who thought the image was real, Stewart said, “I don’t know that you have the mental acuity to be operating a motor vehicle.”
Stewart also jokingly dropped a bombshell on those same people, telling them “trucks don’t actually have testicles,” and the item some drivers hang on their vehicles is just a novelty item.
