Donald Trump Is Being Foisted Upon Us by the Media Because of "Premature Ecalculation" (Meaningless Poll Data), says Jon Stewart.

Stewart took on the media obsession with Donald Trump last night ('America's favorite Styrofoam-haired landlord') and his completely un-serious presidential aspirations. The Daily Show host wondered aloud why "they have to put Trump on every show, spewing the craziest stuff he can think of". The answer, according to the mainstream media, is that Trump has relatively decent poll numbers- but only because news shows keep giving him a platform for his bizarre views. And then, of course, there's the fact that polls conducted at this point in the election cycle are totally meaningless. As Stewart puts it, Trump is being foisted upon us because of "premature ecalculation."
