Yes, Jon Stewart is an uber liberal. Yes, it's a disgrace and a lens on Our Times that the Daily Show is an actual source of "news" for bajillions of Americans.
But you know what?
Jon Stewart is effing hilarious. The Daily Show is, most times (IMO), effing hilarious.
And when, that 1 time out of 100 when he/they turn their lens on non-conservative ... things?
I laugh my head off. Because it's effing hilarious.
So let's be honest with ourselves, fellow travelers - we don't dislike Jon Stewart and his platform.
We envy it.
Here's another one I like from the beforetimes.
If Jon Stewart and his Daily Show were 100 to 1 in our corner? We'd be making fun of anyone and everyone who didn't "get it".
Get it?

I think the real disgrace is that he's usually a lot more accurate and honest than a lot of the actual "news" programs.
And, honestly, I can at least respect him. He's open about his biases, and that it's a comedy show rather than a true news show. Plus, he may be uber-liberal, but (IIRC) if he can be convinced that he was wrong he owns up to it, and has done so openly and publicly.
It's a shame that P.J. 'Rourke turned out to be bad at television. :(
