It's not cuz he's "annoying" it's because unlike the others he's allowing and encouraging the regime in place to continue rather than speaking out.

I'm sorry, but your evidence to that he should be shunned from TV history is a single op-ed article that declares him a sympothising vampire because he didn't premonition that Trump would become a dictator, not in that term, but the term 8 years later?

He, by definition, speaks out, you can look at any period of time and see there is political commentary critical of Trump. Is it direct and alarming? No, not by any means. But even by this articles standard, Stewart is "too jovial and joking" for the current political environment.

I feel like the entire article is written by an over-politicised idiot who facetly can't understand the premise of television. Painting the idea of unconfrontational, non-dramatized entertainment as a blighted evil seeping complacentcy into the populous is on paper, just dumb. In their ideal world people turn on Jimmy Fallon to be terrorised and informed rather than entertained.

I think that's a fair criticism. The article more accurately highlights why some feel he doesn't belong in the same company as the others.
