John Stewart is on Paramount+, the first media company to capitulate to Trump. Paramount paid Trump $16 million. They are a puppet of Trump and John Stewart gets paid by them.
It doesn't matter who pays you as long as you speak truth.

Aneurysm time.
Did you watch Chapelle’s latest special? He argues he could say more in Saudi than the states. It’s a joke obviously but these people are entertainers not leaders of the free world.
Bill Burr is still attacking billionaires too, he’s just not grandstanding every week about it and getting on with the shitjokes for his 14 listeners.
It’s sad, because I genuinely thought Burr was funny. I guess he values money over ethics. He’s not getting another minute of my time (except when I’m watching The Mandalorian, where his character is a scumbag anyway.)
Purity tests are dumb
