I misspoke, I haven't watched him in one year, but watched him regularly before then for some time.

But the point is that his show is not trying to make people liberal. He's trying to make them laugh.
IMO Stewart's intentions of what the show is about are ultimately not that important. What is important is that a lot of his viewers watch the show for some political commentary that is presented in an entertaining way that will make them laugh. His audience expectations of political commentary, is why i believe that his show is as much about politics, as it is about comedy.

If you watch the show regularly you would know that he's spent plenty of time mocking all the channels, mocking Obama and his administration, other democrats
I did not say that Stewart was overly biased, just that there is bias.

Ok... he denied being an activist in the same way that Fox news talking heads are activists, because he is a comedian... which i believe is wrong.
