--- End quote ---
He's a staunch liberal, who uses personal attacks, and generally agrees with those of his side only.
Fox News Guy: Staunch conservative, who uses personal attacks, and generally agrees with those of his side only.
I only see 1 difference there, which is usually what clouds people's judgment (not saying you).
Partisan politics at their worst, which is ruining this country.
Then, when people criticize him or his views, he pulls the "Im just a comedian" card, when its clear he walks the line between comedian and biased pundit not very well. Can't have it both ways.

I C... and you must have voted for Ron Paul... how did I know?
Javier:
Jon Stewart can defend his liberal opinions, so it's not like he just randomly pulls out the I'm a comedian card. He does it because people bust his balls for not reporting the news.

The hell, its like you people copy and paste your criticism. I watch the daily show to get a few laughs. I don't watch it to learn about the latest news and form an opinion about the issues based on what Jon is saying. Stop taking the show so seriously and you'll be fine with it.

Sure he can defend them.....but when he only sees things, talks about things, and defends things from a liberal POV, he loses credibility in my book (not all liberals are right all the time, you know)....hence my comparison of him to Fox News people (who do the EXACT same thing but from the other side of the spectrum). These things I just mentioned are why people bust his balls. He comes off as Hannity's liberal twin brother with jokes mixed in.

Well, thats good you just watch it to get a few laughs. Cause I think many people watch it to hear their political views told back to them, so they feel warm and fuzzy inside. Yeah he has the packaging of a comedian, but he's just so damned biased and in the bag for his side that he comes off as a cheerleader and not a political comedian.
