      Yes, I would agree.

      My takeaways is that The New Yorker took excessive liberty to cast Hasan in a bad light, doing so knowingly.

      I also really like the idea that TNY is out here targeting Hasan, while not fact-checking other standup routines from other comedians.

        Hasan was specifically reported on because of his possibility of hosting the Daily Show, although I think in the comedy scene, there has always been of consternation around the veracity of elements of Homecoming King/King’s Jester.
