Shut up or label himself as a journalist. Those aren't the two choices he has.

Look, it's not the fact that he's speaking out. It's not the fact that he's a comedian. But he's acting like a company manager who only comes downstairs to hobnob with the workers when something is really jacked up, and I find it very irritating.

He can keep doing what he's doing, and I hope he does, except the whole .... okay, I'll go back to making fart jokes, but I'll be back if things get ugly again. Pleaaaaaaaaaaase. He's acting like some sacred goat of entertainers. I don't care when entertainers get political, perfectly okay by me. But no other comedians/actors etc that I can think of do that but him, and it's so transparent.

Again, I'm a huge John Stewart fan, practically grew up with the guys comedy. no disrespect.
