Jon Stewart on Bassem Youssef's show in Egypt

YouTube

Jon Stewart (paraphrased, about Bassem Youssef)
"He is showing that satire is still relevant, that it can carve out space in a country for people to express themselves. Because that's what democracy is: an opportunity for people to be heard"


Update: Bassem Youssef is no longer in Egypt. He had to make himself scarce out of fear he is going to get imprisoned. He is doing Democracy Handbook on Fusion (find it on youtube)
