I thought two things simultaneously on watching this: one, she's utterly horrendous. I remember reading that the shit-libs used to hold Yellen up as some kind of "on the side of the people" progressive but she was just spewing neo-con talking points here and clearly doesn't give a ####. Two, John Stewart gives her a little more pushback than most mainstream journalists would but he's still softballing her. Hide Chris Hedges behind his chair and get him to hand questions to Stewart, then we'd see her squirm...but of course we wouldn't because it wouldn't be allowed. Also, he's working for Apple TV so you know, baggage. I still like J.S. (especially compared to the simpering establishment fluffer that Colbert has become in his old seat) but it all seems a little bit tolerated oposition. Better than the drooling cable news hacks but then what isn't?
