Daily Show host Jon Stewart criticized the media for what he deemed as excessive and tiresome 'fascist' attacks on President Donald Trump, suggesting that these constant accusations have numbed the country's response to legitimate concerns about authoritarianism. Stewart believes the media has blurred the lines between serious criticism of Trump's policies and hyperbolic 'fascist' labels, which have become a refrain rather than a meaningful warning. As a result, the public's reaction to genuine threats to democracy has been dulled, according to Stewart.
