  1. Can’t take it seriously unless it’s awarded by FIFA

  6. I love him! And he deserves it! I DO belive he’s doing journalism of the highest order.

    However …

    For as often as he’s gone on the news networks (CNN and FOX!) And said “…we’re a comedy show, we’re not ‘the news'” … I think he has to respectfully decline this. It would really make the point.

    (Again – I DO believe they’re doing journalism – AS satire!. I DO believe they deserve it. I’m just saying … )

  7. **If anyone ever earned it –Jon Steward earned it.**

    It’s more than just a journalism award – He stood up for our freedom and democracy. He’s an American hero.

  8. Jon Stewart cares about everyday people and the quality of life we have in America. Donald Trump doesn’t care about you or me, he is just a 💩

  11. Is this real, or like Trump’s medal? Love Jon Stewart!

  12. Walter Cronkite Award,

    *The Daily Show* host, 63, will be honored at the ceremony for his work in a new award category: Comedic News and Commentary. The awards, which were first established in 2001, are administered by the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism’s Norman Lear Center.

  13. Jon Stewart is the real deal. One of the greatest television personalities and political satirists of all-time, really.

  14. Stewart more activist than journalist, another Oliver team snub. /s

  15. Trumps gonna be jealous and petty he didn’t get one.

  17. I hate how outrage/engagement has turned into this giant bubble within the economy and politics.

  19. If Jon Stewart is the pinnacle of journalism, journalism is f*****
