[See NewsBusters for more.] The liberal journalists at MSNBC and the co-creator of The Daily Show were taken aback by the perceived anti-Israel, anti-Jewish comments of the newly crowned host. Cable anchor Tamron Hall on Tuesday declared that comedian Trevor Noah is "already generating some controversy." Talking to Lizz Winstead, the co-creator of The Daily Show, Hall added, "There is backlash right now." Incoming host Noah has previously sneered, "South Africans know how to recycle like Israel knows how to be peaceful." He's also mocked, "Behind every successful Rap Billionaire is a double as rich Jewish man." On Twitter, Noah has commented on people who "look Jewish" and joked that "blue-eyed people" have a "lower Jew tolerance."
