National Memo Editor-in-Chief Joe Conason appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews on Wednesday evening to discuss the highly influential Jon Stewart, and his aptitude for calling out the far right in a manner that resonates with viewers. The Daily Show host is known for his unique way of tackling the issues with candor — he’s unapologetic, doesn’t hold back, and is winning the war against conservative mendacity.
