John Stewart on Clickbait

 

Jon Stewart, in the current New York magazine cover story ... was asked about his Internet-media diet: "Do you look at BuzzFeed; do you look at Vice news?"

Stewart, relatably, confessed to haphazardly wading through the deluge of content: "I scroll around, but when I look at the Internet, [and] I feel the same as when I'm walking through Coney Island. It's like carnival barkers, and they all sit out there and go, 'Come on in here and see a three-legged man!' So you walk in and it's a guy with a crutch."

It's Everywhere, the Clickbait
