Jon Stewart Doesn’t Blame Toxic Political Discourse For Arizona Shooting Tragedy

(By Colby Hall, Mediaite) - Jon Stewart addressed the tragic events that occurred in Arizona this weekend by asking “How do you make sense of these types of senseless situations?” Giving up on any real attempt at satirical humor, Stewart instead taking a meaningful, measured and earnest approach to the current political finger pointing over the incident, which he called “as predictable as it is dispiriting.” While Stewart didn’t blame toxic discourse, he did seek a distinction “between ramblings of crazy people and the way we talk to each other on TV.”
