I should probably be addressing the GAN backlog, but this event is too iconic to pass up the opportunity to review it. Very excited to review! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 14:15, 18 July 2023 (UTC)


 * @Theleekycauldron, just a few comments on the prose, but otherwise it's a very well-done article. Very close to GA! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 14:56, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Well howdy there, ! Thanks for the review, and the talk page message is a puzzler too :) I've taken care of the Bush administration wikilink, and stuck a citation on the first thing you mentioned. As for the rest:
 * Those sentences aren't in "Impact" because I wanted that section to be about the impact it had on the three men involved with the story – Carlson gets fired, Stewart gets anointed god-king, Begala gets forgotten. We could rename that section, but I think that's a kind of impact in and of itself, one that ultimately had a lot more effect than the raw viewcount at the time.
 * Critics at the time largely agreed with Stewart's commentary, elevating him over Carlson in their reviews is, unusually for these kinds of articles, sourced directly to an article that makes the same claim. I think Politico assessment of RSes, as an RS itself, would supersede my own editorial judgement (not that I, y'know, disagreed too much).
 * There is the Boston Herald piece here, but I didn't include it because i couldn't find any coverage like it and BH isn't that reliable anymore (giving its editorial page less weight), so it seemed so far outside the mainstream consensus of RSes that it wasn't even worth including. That could, of course, just be my bias, and I'm happy to add a snippet if you think it's due. The only other piece of blowback I could find was in another piece where the cancellation of the show was said by nameless critics to just be pandering to Stewart's audience. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 18:28, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Fair enough on all your points. What about an external links section? MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 23:07, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I would imagine that the YouTube video breaches WP:COPYLINK, so unless there's anything else to put there... theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 00:59, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Makes sense then. Good to go! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 01:48, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
