hotdogfallacy- When you say that Stewart is "addressing criticisms", could you give an example of such a criticism? I mean, we've gotten that you think he's liberal, but he admits he is liberal. Like in that interview, in the part that you quoted! What criticisms are people throwing at him? Doesn't even have to be one you personally believe.

When he mocks Fox viciously for not practicing good journalism, it kind seems like you're impyling that means he has some sort of obligation to himself practice good journalism
sure, that is another point as well.
Wait, what? I was unfairly strawmanning you! At least I thought I was. You legitimately think Stewart cannot criticize Fox for being dishonest and terrible at, say, reporting on Obamacare unless he himself devotes his
half hour comedy show to effective reporting on the same subject? I'm pretty sure he'd get fired if he started airing "Newshalfhour with
Jim Lehrer Jon Stewart" after repeats of Tosh.0.
Like, this is the gold standard in Daily Show vs. Fox, imo:

Could you watch that and identify what parts of it are
A) "Liberal bias"
B) Wrong?
What should he have done differently there?
